PKGeography 🌍

I'm hibernating this account for a while, and will mix my Geography tweets into my @petergknight account. Please follow me there if you would like to keep seeing my bits of Geography. I'm struggling with the overwhelm, so I'm simplifying my social media 'empire' a bit.

@PKGeog Hi, I am contacting Lecturers in Higher Education to ask if they would like to complete my online questionnaire as part of my Bachelor’s Thesis? loughboroughssehs.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_82… Participation consists of an online survey rating statements about learning and behaviour and should take around 10 minutes (no timer so can be completed in your own time). Inclusion criteria: currently teaching in a Higher Education institution in the UK.

"To be exceptional at #GeoGuessr is to be a kind of topographical Sherlock Holmes." This could be a #geographyteachers obsession. #usegeography theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Very tempted to use this to introduce the GCSE climate change topic. Probably the best summary explanation of what causes natural and human induced climate change and the importance of action that you'll come across.

My niece presenting a programme on the BBC that will be of interest to a lot of my geography friends. Iceland, world trade, geopolitics, geothermal energy, Arctic communications routes, climate change...

A thread: the first page of each chapter of my book "Glacier: Nature and Culture", for anyone who's interested to see what it's about but doesn't want to splash out and buy a copy without checking it out. #books #glaciers #climatechange #art #science #adventure #exploration

One of my old lockdown videos, still relevant to the module this year, so given as some preparatory background watching for my 1st-year Physical Geographers this week. Landscapes. Geomorphology. Systems. Connections. youtube.com/watch?v=D9Kuup…

Working in weather and climate isn't just about being a meteorologist, there are a whole world of careers out there to explore. Our People in weather & climate resources introduce an exciting range of careers in or influenced by the weather.

You may have noticed frost appearing on these colder mornings. There are different types of frost and this video looks at how they form. Find out more about frost and ice on our website including how we forecast frost.

Recorded a new voiceover for my 1-minute introduction video for my Fundamentals of Physical Geography module... "Physical Geography is a fantastic subject..." Check youtu.be/3SWc6SijqoY for the video.

The psychological distance that kept many from recognizing how climate change is no longer a distant issue is eroding quickly these days, as the impacts become visible and relevant. amp.cnn.com/cnn/travel/fra…

@GoldishCJ according to them it's Cape Leeuwin

@PKGeog I wonder if they mean Southeast Point (mainland Aus) or Southeast Cape (Tasmania) or?!? Both rather prosaic by comparison with Hope and Horn!

Geography Quiz! Can you name the three so-called "Great Capes" - the southern points of South America, Africa and Australia? If you can, well done. If not, look them up here! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_cap…

I am teaching a seminar on The Lost Words project by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. 10am - 1pm on Wed 27 Sept at Frodsham Community Centre. Will be considering both the books and music related to this exciting environmental project. Please message me if interested.

Next week, in the induction session for new students, I'll be asking my new Keele Geographers what they think is the most fundamental geographical skill. What do you think the answer should be? #geographyskills #geographyteacher #Geography Most important Geog skill? rsvp.

Geography at Keele has been ranked Top-10 in the new 2024 Guardian University Guide. In the specific area of "value added", a measure of how study at Keele helps students to improve from their entry qualifications, we are ranked 2nd in the table! theguardian.com/education/ng-i…

Do you have a favourite cape? Mine would be Cape Farwell (Kap Farvel) in Greenland.

OK, ok, it was a trick question in that the Australian one is not actually the most southerly point of Australia. Capes are tricky!
