Yesterday I had the privilege of watching the last stage of our #geology graduate’s journey as they walked across the stage in front of me. I am so proud of what they have managed to achieve, it has been an absolute pleasure teaching them for 3 years 😄🥹 #Derbygrad University of Derby

All set up for University of Derby #EnvironmentalSustainability open day today. Capturing the interactions between all the Earth’s systems, how we can tackle current global environmental issues and the need for mineral resources for a #sustainablefuture

Last week I finally got the chance to visit the British Geological Survey core store at Keyworth, getting a demonstration of their impressive 3D visualisation suite and training the University of Derby #Environmental #Sustainability students the valuable skill of core logging!

Today I asked my MSc Environmental Management class to read a chapter of 'Braiding Sweetgrass' by Robin Wall Kimmerer before our session- uk.bookshop.org/books/braiding…

This is excellent - a chat I have with all my first year female students before their first fieldtrip! Anxiety levels in students are increasing & normalising these conversations can give peace of mind. Female members of staff are needed on all fieldwork!

Our #EnvironmentalSustainability degree at University of Derby covers all aspects of working toward a #NetZero future and the reduction of #carbonemissions such as #geothermal power, #carboncapture and #criticalmetals

Absolutely incredible to watch the NASA DART collide with the Dimorphos asteroid last night! Definitely worth staying up for. Will be very interesting to see if any spectral imaging of the collision is used to determine the composition of the asteroid!

Noooo!!! I love them both 😭

And the 2022 Mineral Cup is liiiive! Have your vote! #MinCup2022

Exciting stuff!! The Mineral Cup is back 😄😄😄

Lovely afternoon at the NationalStoneCentre yesterday looking through the museum collection & being shown the #quarries , crinoid #fossils & #mineralisation by Peter Jones. Looking forward to University of Derby working with this amazing site! Dry stone walling styles & rocks from all over UK.

JOB ALERT! Interested in doing a post-doc or PhD in economic geology? We are looking for two highly motivated scientists (f/m/d) who will work on Li-Sn-W and Ag-Pb-Zn systems of the eastern Erzgebirge, Germany

How do Virtual Fieldtrips compare to “the real thing”? The following thread is a summary of our recent paper in which we systematically compare virtual and in-person fieldtrips to Utah and the Spanish Pyrenees… 🧵doi.org/10.5194/gc-5-2…

Congratulations to the University of Derby #geology class of 2022 graduating yesterday!!! My first year I taught from beginning to end throughout their degree programme. Very proud of their achievements and resilience throughout the pandemic

Very enjoyable couple of weeks out on #fieldwork supervising independent studies University of Derby students undertaking their #geology #mapping - part 2 #Cornwall and always amazing to have Sam Sam Hughes join me in the field, sharing his local expertise with the students

Very enjoyable couple of weeks out on #fieldwork supervising independent studies University of Derby students undertaking their #geology #mapping - part 1 #Snowdonia

Really excited to see the UK critical minerals strategy published. We British Geological Survey will be engaged in many aspects of delivering this, both nationally & internationally, & we're looking forward to working with a wide range of partners on this aspect of the road to #NetZero

If you love #rareearth elements and weird alkaline silicate #igneous rocks then this #exploration guidebook detailing models of the system is for you! Lots of hard work went into this - well done team
