Well, we all survived another @constructionarium.bsky.social week. Our students were awesome, building Canary Wharf and North Greenwich stations, Milau Viaduct, and Kingsgate Footbridge. A massive well done to everyone. Now for some well earnt sleeping all round.

Kingsgate swing footbrindge between two approach embankments with happy students standing on it Milau Viaduct: a two pier cable stay bridge between two embankment with happy students standing on it.

Microplastics seem to get everywhere… out with @britgeosurvey.bsky.social on Dartmoor today, seeing whether they’re in groundwater and upland catchments

We have just received the results of the radiographic imaging and multi-sensor core logging carried out at the CSF by the #BGS.
Part of the self-sealing experiments at the #UniversityofLeeds. Thanks to #MottMacDonald for the samples and #jacobs for sponsoring the research.

In August 2024, I recorded 65 fatal landslides around the world, which claimed 414 lives. The total number of fatal landslides in 2024 continues to exceed any previous year by a significant margin, probably reflecting high global atmospheric temperatures.

There's a fascinating row occurring in Greenland over the Dickson Fjord landslide and seiche research. Essentially, government ministers are peeved that they were not informed about the outcome of the study.

Greenland ministers criticize researchers for not telling them about landslide study
The criticism highlights the Government of Greenland’s irritation about a lack of communication from researchers coming in from abroad.

Another small step on my research journey, a process for vacuum preservation for mudstone samples. I am looking forward to spending October in the @envleeds.bsky.social laboratories squashing mudstone and sealing fractures in mudstones!

Despite the significance of the Earth's core, we don't know exactly how it formed and developed.

Mineral physics is bringing us closer to solving the mystery, writes Dr Alfred Wilson-Spencer in @theconversationuk.bsky.social.

The Earth’s inner core is a total mystery – here’s how we’re starting to solve it
The Earth’s core may be much younger than previously thought.

Great relief today that the JoULe very weak rock sampler I designed has worked!
