One of the biggest landslides in known history happened underwater, in Europe.
Around 8,150 years ago, a vast section of the Norwegian seabed collapsed, shifting thousands of cubic kilometres of sediment and sending a gigantic tsunami into Scotland, Shetland and Norway.

Right up my street! Also, lots of lovely information on functional ecology available from fish bone isotopes...

If we cancel Linnaean ranks we must learn all the branches of the Tree of Life, which is good for specialists. Others can use the classification as a shortcut to learn some but not necessarily all the main branches encoded as genera and families.

Pre-industrial revolution and the rivers are already impacted. One to think about when contemplating baseline conditions in our rivers.
How did mills and their associated structures affect aquatic taxa and ecosystems?

In 1996, I was a student at @ManMetUni and did a placement with @ProfColinBean at @StirUni.
Colin introduced me to fish ecology and to @sceneUofG.
I knew from then that I wanted to be a fish ecologist. Also, 30 years later I'm the director of SCENE 😎
