In my typical fashion I overestimated the walk and arrived early to an event. First day of the #giscience2025 conference in this beautiful city.

My first full-day in Christchurch for the #giscience2025 conference (starting tomorrow for me) and I highly recommend Dosa Kitchen at the #Riverside #Market for anyone into #streetfood. The mixed vegetable Dahl with naan is mouthwatering!
And wow! The #Christchurch Botanical Gardens are awesome!

#Throwback to my #youth. Young Matt always wanted to be a #police constable. I tried that, passed the entire process, and lost the opportunity due to UK budgeting. However, I found my true calling in #ecology, #spatial science, and teaching. Younger Matt would be so proud of my achievements.

My mother found my Year 1 primary school report, and it is clear I have not changed with #Science and #Geography. Even back then, I knew I would become an ecologist in a geographer's world. I love this line: '...opportunities to look at the local environment and develop simple mapping skills.' #GIS

An old photo of mine from a few years ago during a trip to Somerset for under license Adder surveying. One of my most loved photographs.

bsky.social inception... sorry about the emotional rollercoaster...

On a side note - @bsky.app is definitely a great place to connect when really needed.

Three days of the GroundsWell consortium conference over. Much discussion and explanation of my research with colleagues and I'm absolutely tired - well worth it.
Although too cold the beanie has been a perfect addition. #greenspaces #bluespaces #researcher #phdstudent #phd #Liverpool
