Yeah I was in a large company too. It’s there you notice everything is dictated by those 3-4 levels higher and are more disconnected from the ‘shop floor’ where the most people are. And too many reasons for not doing things is because it costs them money

Maybe if I find the time to digitise them 😊

The first of two recently ordered old geology books arrived! ‘The students elements of geology’ by Sir Charles Lyell (revised by Murray, 1885). The illustrations in these books is always outstanding! And the bluntness of the text can be amusing.

I noticed similar when going from an industry job back into academia for my PhD. Some PGRs were confused why the uni functioned in certain ways, but to me it made sense. Universities are businesses

So many questions. No answers 😅

All set and ready for a busy, but fun, Open Day for Geog/Geol/Env at Leicester Uni today 🌍🔨

My first paper is now out!! “Cohesional behaviours in Pyroclastic material and the implications for deposit architecture” 🌋 Thank you so much to my *incredible* supervisory team and the enthusiastic and thorough reviews from the Editor and 2 reviewers link.springer.com/article/10.1...

George Poulett Scrope’s 1825 global map of volcanoes (pink) and mountain ranges (grey) showing their ‘parallelism’; and the ‘remarkable train of openings circling the Pacific’. Scrope suggested that processes of ‘subterranean expansion’ might both raise mountains, and cause eruptions. #geo#envhist
