Today, our @DerbyUni Earth Sciences team are chatting to future Earth Scientists at the FutureFusion Amber Valley Skills Festival at Strutts Centre, Belper. Come along and learn how Earth Scientists are key to a sustainable future ambervalley.info/eventdetail.as…

What a superb day yesterday. As part of @OriginalGCG annual seminar, I went walking in the footprints of giants - mainly Iguanadonts. Between Pett Level beach & Fairlight Cove, I observed dinosaur trackways, tail marks, bone beds, fossil wood and ripples. Thanks @hastings_museum

Yesterday I attended the annual seminar of the Geological Collections Group @OriginalGCG to learn about putting our collections to work. I presented a poster on the @DerbyUni collection with emphasis on our unique holistic approach to making our specimens accessible to students.

Had a lovely day in Buxton with @derbyuni Water Resources students visiting @buxtonwater and sampling water from Hogshaw Brook; the UofD borehole and St Anne’s Well. @DerbyUniEarth @derbyunistudent @TechsAtDerby
