The good news: once you get a PhD, friends and family will refer to you as doctor.
The bad news: They will only do it sarcastically after you get basic trivia wrong.
Momentous day, many years in the making, graduating from @GeosciencesEd (again)! Thanks to my fellow graduates both past and present for all the good times getting the PhD!
Swapped Cyprus this year for the (arguably superior) Jurassic coast. Complete with friendly mocking for my over-enthusiasm #geology #fossils #lulworthcrumple

Passed my viva earlier this week, thanks to @VanackerVeerle and @HeinAndy for listening to me able about clay and hillslopes!

After a long time using it’s server namesake finally visited Loch Achray. Arguably less buggy here too...
For anybody at #vEGU21 interested in modelling glacial water resources, at 13:53 Dan Goldberg will be presenting work I contributed to last year (was a change from the usual soil)! meetingorganizer.copernicus.…

Here it is! The aim of this project is to photograph Scotland's rivers and contribute to landscape science, conservation and restoration.
Please share & get involved!

Sadly this is the closest to a #soil profile I’ve seen all year that hasn’t come from a computer model. A fossilised Devonian soil from Dunbar, East Lothian in honour of #WorldSoilDay
Lucky to have such excellent #geology on our doorstep, teaching landscape architects a crash course in the Carboniferous of Scotland. Nice to be out in the field again after a summer (mostly) indoors! – at Dunbar, Scotland
Edinburgh’s other (superior) #castle whilst out scouting alternative local field trip destinations for the @GeosciencesEd Snowdonia field trip. #craigmillar #fieldwork

Just now in Alta, Norway: Huge mudslide dragging several houses into the sea.
It's that time year again (not), missing the geology, students and sunshine but at least I won't have to worry about infected mosquitos bites... #fieldwork #throwback
First day in #Cyprus with @GeosciencesEd exploring the upper part of the ophiolitic succession. Moment of reverential silence had for the CY-4 borehole. #geology #fieldwork #sun
