Stop 2: looking out across at a landslide, with thanks to Brandon from National Highways for explaining the stabilisation approaches here.
Paraglacial processes creating geohazards

Stop 1 was Lumb Mill in the Irwell Valley to view erratics and some unearthed organics from the BA. Then walking along a hypothesised kame terrace & viewing a WW1 zeppelin bomb site #QRA24

Our final speaker Jane Hart looking at how to quantify subglacial processes in soft bedded glaciers with some fabulous field kit #QRA24

& thanks to Jane for all her ongoing work as President of QRA

(catch up) Megan Edwards took us back to the RISeR sampling region, to explore the sedimentological & geochemical records within these marine cores #QRA24

(Catch up) Irene Waajen presented a fantastic record through the Brown Bank Formation, which records the MIS5-4 transition in the North Sea #QRA24

Then former Manchester Geography member Amy MᶜGuire gave a wonderful presentation on ‘throwing all’ the geochronological techniques at marine cores from RISeR, where there is a mystery of some missing sediment…

Skipping back to sedimentary record session. James Scourse gave a wonderful tour of the exciting proxies within the high resolution records provided by molluscan bivalve sclerochronology #QRA24

Please take the time, after enjoying your lunch, to peruse the posters. There is a fabulous line up in the atrium nearest to the lecture room #QRA24

Bravo to two amazing ECRs Rosie Archer & @TessaSpano for keeping the conversation going on the barriers to women in (Quaternary) geosciences - excellent talk ladies ! QRA #QRA24 The University of Sheffield

Two absolutely great talks from Dr Becky Briant Rosie Archer and Tessa Spano. These talks were very inspiring and continues the conversation of inclusivity in Quaternary Science #QRA24

Congratulations Aditi! 🥳

Rosie and Tessa exploring the barriers to talking about barriers to women’s inclusion in Quaternary Science #QRA24

First up in session 4 is Dr Becky Briant
exploring the problems of parachute science and the impetus for ensuring ethical and equitable knowledge production
