The first day of the @QuateraryRA_UK Postgraduate Symposium, co-hosted by @QUBGeography and @UlsterUniGES, is drawing to an end....
...a great day featuring a Bayesian statistics course by Prof. Marten Blaauw and @ProfPaulDunlop's keynote talk on his career through the geosciences.
Participants are currently having a tour of @14_chrono radiocarbon dating and isotope analysis facilities @QuaternaryRA_UK
Less than 20 days until ticketing closes for the upcoming @QuaternaryRA_UK Pgt Symposium in Belfast @QUBGeography @UlsterUniGES.
Make sure to get your tickets at eventbrite.com/e/qra-postgra… so you don't miss out!
It's sure to be a great day of oral and poster presentations, plus keynote speakers and tour of the 14Chrono radiocarbon dating facility. Plus opportunities for an age-depth modelling workshop and whole day field trip around NI!

Another fantastic week in the Caribbean with a great group of participants- learnt a lot about coastal boulder deposits that I hope to put to good use!
@UlsterUniGES
A fantastic week-long course into a Neogene Carbonate Platform in the Caribbean (Bonaire) meeting some wonderful researchers!
Thank you to all the organisers.

Had a great day at the @Quaternary_Irl Spring meeting and AGM on Saturday hosted at @UlsterUniGES. Some great Quaternary themed presentations and discussion- it was a pleasure to present at, and highly appreciative to have won the Best Postgraduate Presentation Award.
Looking forward to a great day of presentations and posters at the @Quaternary_Irl spring meeting.
A pleasure to design the logo feat. Irish Elk, Mountain Avens (Dryas) and the Mourne Mountains.
Rather late, but, had a fascinating time at the @NHM_Botany Taxonomic Principles and Tools in Botanical Research course, specialising in Bryophytes, last month @NHM_London.
A fantastic insight behind the scenes with a sunny field trip to Thursley Common, what's not to enjoy?

Announcing this years postgraduate conference to be hosted by Queen’s University, Belfast from the 29 -31st August! This is a great opportunity to showcase your research in a friendly environment, and get to know other Quaternary ECRs. Registration will be open soon!

Are you interested in past and current climate change? If so, why not apply to our MSc in this subject? This MSc is an update of our internationally recognised MSc in Quaternary Science. royalholloway.ac.uk/studying…
1/3 I'm just about caught up after a fantastic trip to South Africa to visit their wonderful #SSLiME #EPStromNet stromatolite sites. In October I had the opportunity to see some great living stromatolite systems with @gavinrish and @CarlaDodd6 from @MandelaUni...
2/3 ... as well as hunt for Pleistocene microbialite exposures and visit some of the oldest evidence for life on Earth, 3 billion year old Mesoarchaean Pongola Supergroup stromatolites, alongside researchers from @MandelaUni and @UKZN...
3/3 .... a wonderful trip and some thoroughly enjoyable research, all round, made possible by the @QuaternaryRA_UK New Research Workers Grant.
@UlsterUniGES
Crikey, where has the autumn gone!? Two months late to post, it was fantastic to present my preliminary research from #EPStromNet Western Australia at the @QRAPGSymposium at @durham_uni. Thanks to all who made it happen.
@UlsterUniGES @QuaternaryRA_UK
Thoroughly enjoyed my first conference presenting my PhD topic- to @SLaCC_QRA this afternoon. Thank you for making me feel welcome and I'm looking forward to hopefully bringing my first data next year in person!
Tom Garner from Ulster University Coleraine presents their PhD research exploring the structure and formation of rock coast microbialites in Ireland, including environmental factors driving their formation and preservation potential in the Quaternary coastal record #SLaCC2023
While not as extensive as at my usual Pen-y-ghent pilgrimage, it was wonderful to see Purple Saxifrage on the basalt escarpment of Benevenagh, Co. Londonderry today @BSBIbotany @BSBI_Ireland @BinevenaghLPS @cedarnmni
Last week I had a brilliant time on the @NERCscience 3D and 4D imaging (XCT) course in Manchester lead by @K_J_Dobson. Certainly has some fascinating potential applications to my current PhD work!
Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday and this morning's series of talks covering an impressively wide number of geoscience topics; looking forward to the Quaternary aspects of this afternoon's session at #IGRM23 @UlsterMuseum
