#CoastalResidues explored… • coastal erosion • industrial remnants • resilience and adaptation • sound, texture and memory • microscopic and material worlds …through walking, listening, making & reflection. www.instagram.com/p/DbBrxZrGAO... #LegacyWaste #HistoricLandfill #RACC #ClimateResilience

We're honoured to announce that our investigation into landfill sites across Europe with @investigate-europe.eu has been nominated for the Prix de Journalisme Environmental 2026, awarded by the Association JNE des journalistes écrivains pour la nature et l'écologie + Université Paris Dauphine 🏆

Working as a community archaeologist & researcher in the #intertidal zone, both in Norfolk & London, I have had many conversations about the solace that people find in time spent on the #foreshore. (1/2)

🏺 London has an amazing community of #mudlarks like Liz, people who know the Thames foreshore intimately. Collecting communities in intertidal zones such as the #Thames foreshore & Norfolk coast are the 'eyes on the ground' that expand our knowledge and understanding of archaeology & history. (1/n)

Putting some finishing touches to a mudlarking lecture I’m doing shortly and sorting through years of Thames photos. Here’s a bit of Wapping Noir for you circa 2018 #TheProspectOfWhitby

As we await today’s wild camping verdict from the Supreme Court, here’s an amazing map from the collections @themerl.bsky.social. produced by @mtrlty.bsky.social using data from @guyshrubsole.bsky.social. Fingers crossed! rdg.ent.sirsidynix.net.uk/client/en_GB...

A huge honour to give a talk today at @themerl.bsky.social about land, who owns it & how we use it - with the museum’s collections as starting points for discussion with @olliedouglas.bsky.social. Thrilled to see my map of who owns Dartmoor, designed up by @mtrlty.bsky.social, on display!
