We are thrilled to announce that the meeting will feature a keynote from Patricia Mothes from Instituto Geofísico of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional (IG-EPN @igepnecuador.bsky.social ), who has a wealth of experience on each of the symposium themes, and is sure to provide some terrific insights.

I make one spelling mistake 😂

🙄

I shouldn't have said anything 🤔

Not cool 👎

At least I'm consistent in being terrible at proof-reading messages before I sending them 🤷🏾‍♀️

Goddamn I only realised I meant to spell "unapologetically" 😂

Its more common in chalk stream areas (Hertfordshire where I'm based, and Yorkshire have the most chalk streams) but also can be gravel, which is more complicated.

Because you can't pump it out like river or surface water flooding. A colleague described it as "like trying to get rid of the water from an olympic swimming pool with a spoon" 😅

Its when a natural underground resevoir and the water table is at capacity and comes back up from the ground. Its because we had the downpours back in September and a wet winter (this is the 2nd year in a row now!). Groundwater flooding can stay around for months and there isn't an easy fix...
