@BligheDerek The people shouting at Simon Harris sounded like bullies to me

This man was bullied his entire childhood, he was teased, mocked and laughed at every day in school. Now he has serious political power in Ireland! What did you think was going to happen?

@CornRaptor @BritGeoSurvey And finding the right place to clamber down the hill is not easy

@BritGeoSurvey Incredible place, once you clamber down the hill. 😅

In 1788, Hutton discovered almost vertical layers of sedimentary rock at Siccar Point. This allowed him to explain key geological processes like deposition, folding and erosion, which shape today's landscapes. View more geological photos via our archive: bgs.assetbank.app

@marymruss @MOConnell07 @ucddublin @UCC @bettiegeology @k_verbruggen Another unique geological adventure, this time with our friends in the Galway Geological Association. @uccBEES @UCCBEESSociety

Fantastic recent field trip to #InisMór w/ @CorkGeological and #GGA. Stunning scenery, amazing archaeology & fascinating #Geology Thanks to @MOConnell07 & Prof. John Walsh (@ucddublin) for organising and also Ken Higgs (@ucc), @bettiegeology & @k_verbruggen for their expertise!

Lunch stop in the sun, at the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary, Middle Lake, Killarney, looking across at Torc Mountain. Thanks to leader Dr. Aidan Forde. ⁦@uccBEES⁩ ⁦@GeolSurvIE⁩

The project was funded by the UK Government and utilised both BGS and Royal Navy bathymetry (depth), backscatter (seabed composition), ground-truth sampling (underwater video footage) and many other derived data layers to create the suite of bespoke geological outputs.

Great day out in West Cork with ⁦@CorkGeological⁩ and Tracton Biodiversity Group ⁦@uccBEES⁩ ⁦@GeolSurvIE⁩ discussing palaeo-ecology

Team @GeolSurvIE ready to go @BTYSTE today! Come visit our stand in exhibitions hall. Free #maps, #geology stickers, #handouts, #VR and information. Learn about #groundwater @followtheboats #geothermal and @TellusGSI Thanks to @Dept_ECC for the support.

Important National GSI Awards supporting undergraduate field research @marymruss

Congratulations to Robin and other awardees! @uccBEES @ucc
