St Kilda Quartz from pegmatitic veins in a mixed magma complex 🌋
I got to take this video with a specialist high def microscope camera 📸 whilst working with NMS @bobgooday.bsky.social and @scottishagates.bsky.social recataloguing the St Kilda collection 🌋

The geology of the Sliabh Liag peninsula is spectacular.
Irelands highest sea cliffs!
Metamorphosed dalradian metasediments with extreme recumbent folding, vertical strata and some impressive metamorphic textures (syntectonic).
Tá an t-ádh orm a bheith i mo gheolaí!

Disabled folks in STEM need to be included in conferences, field work, research culture and research spaces 🙌🏼
So much knowledge and exciting STEM research to share.

Geology is absolutely beautiful.
Ripple marks, cross bedding and many more sedimentary features from a solo excursion in 2017.

A monumental win to be standing back on the hockey pitch after six arduous years of fear.
I can’t believe I’m able to be a hockey coach - a huge achievement to start the year ♿️❤️🩹

This time last year I was getting ready for the trip of a lifetime to Guatemala to study volcanoes & hazards with @bristolvolcanology.bsky.social 🌋 .
We were so lucky to meet local folks and hear their stories, positive and negative, about their experiences with volcanoes.

Great time at #VMSG_MDSG25 so far 🌋
Listening to interesting talks, perusing posters, seeing old pals and making new ones.
Trying tayto crisps and enjoying a Guinness or Beamish (or two) 🍻
Good first day I’d say ✅
