It’s a dreadful irony that for many of the 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa who lack access to a basic water supply, there is likely to be a significant water reserve just a few metres below their feet. A great op-ed by my BGS colleague.

Yesterday we welcomed Prof. Khairul Munadi, the Indonesian Education & Cultural Attaché, and members of the embassy team to the BGS. We discussed strengthening BGS–Indonesia scientific partnerships on geohazards, mineral resources and geothermal energy. Lots to follow up on!

The twins were just four days old when their home was reportedly hit in an Israeli strike.
