Uni of Sheffield PAC

Shout out to our course reps who are working hard to ensure minimal disruption to the Polar and Alpine Change Course!

The ice is still melting and we’re still looking into it and will be for the foreseeable future. Nice to see some of our PAC students virtually getting together today to catch up and discuss our research projects !

Final three presentations done and dusted by Savana, Hannah, and Rosie! Looking forward to the next round on 19th March

Another 2 presentations from Natasha and Aaron before the lunch break, some really cool (!) research being conducted both terrestrially and extra-terrestrially from this years’s cohort

Today is the first day of our PAC Reasearch Proposal Conference, where we are discussing our projects for the upcoming year

Celebrating #WomenInScience with a guest lecture from @Katie_Miles_851 on the findings from the EverDrill project as part of the @sheffieldgeog physical geography seminar series.

Great day out in the Peak District today with some of my @SheffieldPAC coursemates, such a refreshing break from the library! Feeling like this might have to become a new tradition after every deadline 🏞

Relieved to have submitted the research proposal for my MSc (Res)! Now it's time to get to the fun part in science and start the research!

@fegbutcher Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for coming down !

Bjorn be wild! Does it still count as dendrochronology if we’re throwing axes at the wood ?
