"A geographical education has never been more relevant. None of the changes and challenges [...] can be properly understood, let alone tackled, without geography. Many of these are areas of specialism at Birkbeck" #saveBBKgeography #saveBirkbeck
The Geographical Association @The_GA writes to @BirkbeckUoL VC @DlatchmanCBE urging him not to effectively close down the unique Geography research and teaching at Birkbeck through 50% academic staff cuts. #SaveBirkbeckGeography #SaveBirkbeck

Last week I hiked to three glaciers high up in the Pyrenees.
Two were completely gone, and the third was dying.
Maps have become their epitaph😢

"This is not the first time maps have been used to hold private water companies to account. Some of the most famous maps of mid-19th century London ... helped reveal the cause of the deadly illness and identify the water companies responsible."
