Sunday afternoon, just through security at Bristol Airport in less than ten minutes. Used fast track--worth the extra 6 quid. Probably 30-40 min in regular q. Lots of delayed flights but nothing apocalyptic. #bristolairport

Ooooh those busy #beavers ! Some quick comparison shots over 3 years of surveys with @Ragsie123 Amazing changes with dam creation and then expansion submerging large areas @ForestryEngland You don't need the TLS survey to see what's happening! (1/2)

The pandemic means I use technology so that teaching in @ExeterGeography continues. This lecturer is running a Physical Geography computer practical via Zoom from her home. Students in the distanced PC lab can communicate to her (&vice versa) live, as do students on Zoom at home.

#saveTheOA #TheOAisReal The OA is absolutely bonkers, yet it is also utterly captivating and a true work of art. I have never seen anything like it. I am sad that Netflix has cancelled it and I hope they reconsider.

Good article by ⁦@giles_fraser⁩ For too long there has been an unwillingness to speak out against the persecution of Christians. Thanks to ⁦@pmounstephen⁩ for highlighting the issue. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Here's a video I made of @Esri's Sentinel Explorer tool. Comparison of a region just north of Exeter Uni's Streatham campus. May 15 vs July 9. The effect of the lack of rain is clearly visible. Sentinel-2 is an @esa @CopernicusEU mission. @ExeterGeography youtu.be/l-vFKSHKiF0

This is crazy. Professor Jim Newell, the foremost UK academic voice on Italian politics, has been sacked by Salford uni for "insufficient contribution to the University’s desire to strengthen its links with business". Hope this is opposed and overturned change.org/p/prof-helen-m…

On negative emissions: a while ago I calculated that afforestation in some areas has an overall *warming* effect because decreased surface albedo (darkening the land) has a greater impact on global radiative forcing than the carbon sequestration nature.com/articles/35041… #negco2

I think the "We're doomed" message is deeply irresponsible. Anthropogenic climate change is real, and if unchecked will most likely be harmful to human society and biodiversity overall, but "the end of most life on the planet" is a massive exaggeration (1) theguardian.com/environment/20…
