It's been a wee while ago, but we're predicting more geomagnetic jerks! North Africa, 2028, watch this space.🧭🧲🌍
In our paper - published in @springer.springernature.com Earth Planets and Space - we use periodic signatures of core flow to forecast SV until 2030, and find 2 new jerks! 🔍
Comparison of the RMS of GRACE data sets (a), the residual using ISBA-CTRIP (c) and the residual using WGHM 2.2d (d). The histograms of the RMS on all grid points (top), land (middle) and ocean (bottom) are shown in (b). The RMS reductions as a result of the difference between the RMS of GRACE data sets and the residuals derived from ISBA-CTRIP (e) and WGHM 2.2d (f). Blue areas indicate regions where residual RMS is lower than that of GRACE, while red areas indicate where it is higher. Average RMS and RMS_r values over land and ocean for each data set are indicated in the bottom corners of the respective maps.

UK universities have been criticised for offering PhD studentships with significant teaching loads, often without offering doctoral candidates extra time to complete their studies

Describing scientific disciplines as “bedfellows” is maybe the most fun description of cross-disciplinary science I’ve come across so far!
The extent of Himalayan ranges showing the interplay between topography around intermontane basins, seismicity and population. The top panel shows nine major intermontane basins. Major thrusts across the whole extent are also highlighted which include MFT: Main Frontal Thrust, MBT: Main Boundary Thrust and MCT: Main Central thrust. Dashed lines represent extensional features (normal faults). The fault data is obtained from Giri et al. (2024). The study area is highlighted and elaborated in Fig. 2(a). The middle panel shows the earthquake focal mechanisms, scaled by the size and coloured according to the centroid depth (Wimpenny & Watson 2020). The bottom panel shows the gridded population density data across the entire extent (SEDAC 2017), intermontane basins are highlighted.

Meridonial cuts of the kinetic energy density in dimensionless units of the waves indicated with a star (a), square (b) and circle (c) in Fig.3 Light regions indicate higher kinetic energy, while dark regions indicate lower kinetic energy.

That’s very sweet of you, @hughpumphrey.bsky.social, thank you very much for advertising this!
Thanks Hugh! And thanks again for letting me trial this in your course, and for doing the feedback! 🤩
I have found out that the old link didn’t work anymore - not sure what happened there…
Read our blog here!

Very excited that our blog on assessment feedback has now been picked up by @timeshighered.bsky.social !
Well done @foteiniderv.bsky.social !
Well said, Natalia! 👏🏼
That's my abstract submitted to #EGU26! 🎉
Dr James O'Donoghue speaks to the audience at the Early Careers Event.
Dr Affelia Wibisono discusses science communication.
Thanks to everyone who has joined us in person and online for our Early Careers Event. 👏
It's been a hugely successful day!
This afternoon saw several speakers, including @interplanetary.bsky.social and Dr Affelia Wibisono, talking about their experiences in science communication. 🪐🔭🗣️
We were super grateful to have you today, Chris! Thanks for coming along and sharing your wisdom and good advice ☺️🙏🏼
What a lovely session we had this morning!!
I am surprised they're not on Bluesky yet, but I am sure that will come soon!
If you're interested in getting your university involved with the journal, do reach out to Jack, the principal contact. His contact details are found through here: journals.ed.ac.uk/esjs/about/c...
If you haven't come across the #ESJS yet, it's an @edinburghdiamond.bsky.social hosted journal, specifically designed for undergraduates to publish their science, and for PhD students to gain experience in reviewing!
It's open to most universities in central Scotland, but is growing fast!
Very pleased to see Isobel's article on Length-of-day published in the Edinburgh Student Journal of Science #ESJS. 🕰️🌍🎉
This was my first experience in independently supervising an undergraduate project, and I must say I am very proud of what my students achieved!

It’s a beautiful place!
An unexpected benefit to visiting aforementioned supervisor is the scenic post-lunch runs around West Kirby
Despite train cancellations, I’m on my way to @liverpooluni.bsky.social to visit my geodesy-supervisor! Do quite enjoy working on the train these days
Do you need some WD40?
Are you an early career researcher in geophysics or astronomy? Come to our event in London in two weeks!
Give my supervisor a listen, as he excellently explains the south Atlantic anomaly in the geomagnetic field 🧲 🌍 @bgs.ac.uk
Very excited to be at the #DeepDyn dynamos in a nutshell workshop at @mpsgoettingen.bsky.social !
The most exciting thing, of course, is to learn how to use the #MagIC dynamo code. 🌍
Second most exciting thing is having vegan currywurst for lunch! 🌭

🧑🔬 Are you an early career researcher?🧑🔬
If so, we'd love for you to attend our early career event next month. It will feature a careers panel, networking opportunities and a discussion about the importance of effective communication for sharing research.
Book your spot at: ras.ac.uk/early-career...
Cycling out and home from the @bgs.ac.uk Lyell Centre is a pleasure this time of year 🌈🌅
