After a soggy start, we've actually ended up with a cracking day's A-level #geography fieldwork down on the #Glamorganheritagecoast with #MerthyrCollege. Huge thanks to the students for getting stuck in and making the most of it! #geographyfieldwork

The retro rubbish our volunteers find on beach cleans is a stark reminder that litter takes a long time to break down and can exist in our environment for many years 😢
Take a look at these old skool items found during this year's #GreatBritishBeachClean.

The magnitude of glacial collapse in the Alps is hard to grasp! 😲
Remember Sept 2022 when Tsanfleuron Pass was first ice-freed?
Now it looks like this... 😱
And for context, there was at this location in 2008 at least 35m ice thickness connecting the 2 parts! 🧊

Making the most of the weekend?
Do your bit this weekend to keep Wales safe.
Dispose of cigarettes safely.
Only use BBQs where it’s clearly allowed. Never light fires in public spaces.
Wildfires can spread fast, threatening lives, nature, and homes. A little care goes a long way

A special year for #glaciers! 2025 is the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation, starting today with the first World Glaciers Day. Over the next 12 months, let’s reflect even more on their importance, future and beauty. ❄️ #WorldGlaciersDay @UNESCO
AS level #geographyfieldwork today with @CollegeMerthyr down on the #GlamorganHeritageCoast. Beach profiles in glorious weather -just perfect! Might even treat myself to a cheeky ice cream! 🍦 – at Llantwit Major, Wales
I'm pleased to announce that I've been working on and completed the Gold Ambassador award for the @BannauB.
As the majority of my work is in the Park I felt it was important to do as the scheme champions sustainable development, supporting businesses, communities and the environment, highlighting how interconnected they/we all are. More info: ambassador.wales/where-it-be…
As part of the process, I've also discovered @visitwales (Visit Wales) #Addo pledge, which I have also signed up to: visitwales.com/promise
