Wow. Foraminifera! ROV pilots paused and carefully zoomed in to collect footage of these single-celled microorganisms, or protists, at 843 m during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition w/ @schmidtsciences.bsky.social offshore of Argentina. Read the full caption: youtube.com/shorts/Yv_ud...

Last night I attended a fantastic Author Event organised by Dormouse Books, held at Reunion Deli, Belper. Luke Barley from NT spoke about his book Ancient. It was refreshing to hear someone so clearly passionate about ancient woodlands, talk about the vital role humans have played in their history.🌳

Today, our University of Derby Earth Sciences team are chatting to future Earth Scientists at the FutureFusion Amber Valley Skills Festival at Strutts Centre, Belper. Come along and hear how Earth Scientists are key to a sustainable future www.ambervalley.info/eventdetail.... @derbyuni.bsky.social

Announcing our first University of #Derby Student Geological Society Guest Lecture of the Spring Semester.

What a superb day yesterday. As part of @originalgcg.bsky.social 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 ⚒️🪨🦕 @derbyuni.bsky.social

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

Graduation day @derbyuni.bsky.social. Congratulations to all our fabulous graduates! 🎓🥂 @derbyuniearth.bsky.social @derbyunigeo.bsky.social
