No @QuaternaryRA_UK #QRA24 for me. But lots of exciting @ESSILeeds research being presented. Check out @amymcg questioning the Quaternary chronostratigraphy of the S. North Sea and Megan Edwards presenting our new palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from the RISeR project [1/2]

We are converging on Manchester for #QRA24, keen to showcase what our @QuaternaryRA_UK funding has achieved so far and our plans for the next 3 years. If you see this on someone's name badge, ask away!

A few highlights from last weekend's field trip around London - no exposures but plenty of excellent science #urbangeology #engineeringgeology @QuaternaryRA_UK

It’s not all cricket in Birmingham. Some geoscience is going on too. @HS2ltd presenting to Quaternary Research Association

And that's a wrap! So much new knowledge from the once in a lifetime infrastructure project that is @HS2ltd and great conversations about how to continue the Learning Legacy. Watch this space! @QuaternaryRA_UK @EngGroupGeolSoc

Following an impassioned case for a larger MIS 6 glaciation than previously recognised from Seb Gibson we are now hearing from Vincenzo Oriano about technical characteristics of glaciofluvial sediments @EngGroupGeolSoc @HS2ltd @QuaternaryRA_UK

After our first session and a quick coffee break, we are back with Julian Murton outlining periglacial landforms and processes to help explain what we might see in the landscape @HS2ltd @EngGroupGeolSoc @bmi1854

Good morning Birmingham! Its a glorious morning @bmi1854 to hear more about the Quaternary engineering geology of @HS2ltd at our joint meeting with @EngGroupGeolSoc. Let's get to it!

🚨Very exciting #academicjob and leadership opportunity: Do you have a vision to deliver geoscience solutions for a sustainable future? We are seeking an experienced & inspirational leader to drive forward the new @SEELeeds Geosolutions Research Centre jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…

Free one day meeting with @EngGroupGeolSoc @QuaternaryRA_UK Fri 16th June 2023 - Quaternary Engineering Geology of High Speed Two. The meeting will explore implications of Quaternary engineering geology to geohazards, ground models and engineering design. tinyurl.com/yujzymzt

Pleased to announce our next event😀 Quaternary Engineering Geology of HS2. One Day Conference, Friday 16 June 2023. Optional Site Visit TBC. Birmingham and Midlands Institute, Birmingham. More info: linkedin.com/posts/quaterna… Joint hosted by @QuaternaryRA_UK and @EngGroupGeolSoc

Fantastic to visit @SEELeeds @geo_futures Year in Industry students at @fugro today, who are directly experiencing the role geosciences have to play in the energy transition. As discussed @QRAQuatEng conference, a pipeline of geological talent is key to realising NetZero.

If you missed it or just want to rewatch - we have a recording of @Davyg50 Wiley Lecture 'Quaternary engineering geology - are we there yet?' from the @QuaternaryRA_UK ADM in January available on the @EngGroupGeolSoc youtube channel - youtube.com/watch?v=sVaF7x…. Worth a look!

Wow - just looking back at last weeks conference - what a brilliant couple of days. We all learnt so much. Thank you to everyone who contributed and hopefully many positive steps forwards will result #QRAAMD2023 @QRAQuatEng @EngGroupGeolSoc

Interested in learning how the UK’s Quaternary glacial legacy can adversely impact engineering projects? The first module of our Geological Hazards series, is an online course on Glacial Hazards with Dr David Giles. To reserve your place: ow.ly/KTO850Mj7Cm #GSLTraining

After 2 fantastic days of talks & discussions, a massive thank you to @QuaternaryRA_UK @QRAQuatEng for the excellent Annual Discussion Meeting, which had to be held online only at last minute. Also thanks to the organisers for all the hard work in delivering such a great event!

@EmeliaSpofforth @EngGroupGeolSoc @QuaternaryRA_UK Thank you to you and @GeolSoc for all the support, especially the rapid pivot.

All done and dusted. Thank you to all our participants from both academia and industry and elsewhere for such a fascinating and constructive meeting. Once we have all had a bit of a lie down we will be back to our plans to save the 🌎 #QRAADM2023 @EngGroupGeolSoc @QuaternaryRA_UK

Have very much enjoyed hopping in and out of the @QuaternaryRA_UK @QRAQuatEng meeting the last few days. Thanks to those who took the time to organise. 👏 #QRAADM2023

Our final talk before this afternoon's discussion session is about historical settlement abandonment in the Atlantic island of Cabo Verde from Alvaro Castilla-Beltran #QRAADM2023 @QuaternaryRA_UK @EngGroupGeolSoc @GeolSoc
