Did the midnight☀️bleach into the rocks of the Arctic? Following our OSL dating of cobbles from moraines in Tibetan Plateau ( https://t.co/j4pPwUOjOZ) we are applying this technique to moraines in the Lyngen Alps (Lyngsfjellan / Ittuvárit), Troms, Arctic Norway @iC3_COE @rhewlif

Icebergs? The size of a city? 90 miles from the UK? Must be a joke, right? No! Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com shows massive tabular icebergs broke off the UK in the last ice age before the UK’s ice shelves disintegrated from climate warming. 🧵 https://t.co/zhrpUp9Kkm

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research
