Unit Evaluation time of year.
A time to reflect…
that 10% response rates & some students not actually knowing who you are (apparently I didn’t teach my lectures… / was ill) mean that these surveys mean nearly nothing.

Keep doing an excellent job everyone!

Also check out the excellent work of Shashank Manchester Geography during his MSc & beyond, with Dr Aayush Srivastava et al. looking at #dune accumulation in the far Wn Indian part of the #Thar desert PicoScreen3.7 #dune s #luminescence #POSL #EGU24

This is Schuster Building manchester.ac.uk/discover/maps/… for registration at 13:00 #QRA24

The first part of the #QRA24 conference is being kicked off in Manchester with a fantastic workshop on ITRAX data manipulation in Rstudio led by Tom Bishop.

The clouds have cleared for #Manchester to welcome you to day 1 of #QRA24
the iTrax workshop is well underway in the UoM Geography Laboratories and today it’s the turn of Manchester Geography / QEG Manchester to welcome you to the The University of Manchester

You can read Shashank’s excellent paper on the first phase of this research here doi.org/10.1016/j.quag…

I'll talk on behalf of Shashank & collaborators @ #QRA24 : Can low-fi POSL-based age estimates help us increase spatial coverage & improve spatial & vertical sampling resolution as we reconstruct dune dynamics?

We’re excited to co-host you in Manchester, alongside MMU Physical Geog, for the #QRA24 conference!
See you on Thursday!
• iTrax workshop in morning
• QRA AGM from 13:30

As I prepare my slides on dune chronologies in the Thar, I found this really excellent blog post by Arati Kumar-Rao about the canals, irrigation and mining in the Thar peepli.org/stories/blind-…

Happy New Year all!

Looking forward to #QRA24 QRA next week at MMU Physical Geog & Manchester Geography/QEG Manchester?

Didn’t feel like opening today :(

On the way to Liverpool Luminescence Lab to talk ‘A tale of two pans’ work with a dream team
I’ll explore environmental context & age of sediments at #Narabeb & #NamibIV where ESA & MSA lithics are analysed by George M. Leader Ted Marks Rachel Bynoe Kaarina Efraim et al.
