It's a long drive from Casablanca to the Sahara of southern Morocco, but it’s well worth it for the incredible views along the way

The landscape changes dramatically as you cross over the snow-covered Middle and High Atlas mountain ranges into the scorched plateaus of the Anti-Atlas.

Lucky enough to be invited to do some fieldwork in Crete over the Easter period.

My first time in Greece, and it's incredible. Fieldwork has so far been very productive, too!

Cretan Easter goes hard, midnight bonfire and fireworks/fire crackers/guns () to celebrate the resurrection.

Bonus dwarf mammoth skull!

A large bonfire, burning an effigy of Judas to celebrate the resurrection of Christ.

A narrow inlet between two rocky outcrops. The water is a bright bright, blue and the light is white.

The great tit breeding season has been kind of late, despite the very warm March and beginning of April. It's probably one of the latest in recent years. Only today we got the first confirmed great tit nest with 4 eggs. #ornithology #fieldwork

...and of course you wanted to see a stitched wide angle of #RSVAuroraAustralis parked in ice on a wonderful late winter evening...

Doing some CV-website updating and finding old maps.

Here are a few flights and drift tracks from SIPEX2 ice stations 6 and 7. Ship track is dashed, field site drift track solid sections along ship track, marked by start (pale cyan) and end (orange-red) points. Solid lines are helicopter lidar/imagery/infrared/radar survey tracks. Imagery is MODIS/Terra for a nearby date. Circa 2013, in @qgis - part published as figure 1 in doi:10.3189/2015AoG69A814

Returned from an expedition to the Lower Ice Lake ("Unterer Eissee") beneath Hallstätter Glacier #Dachstein #Austria with @rglueckler, Ulrike Herzschuh (both @awi) and Jakob Korneli (@unileipzig). We wanted to take lake sediment cores to reconstruct the vegetation development of the last c. 130 years.

We previously did some avalanche rescue training. Unfortunately, the snow and avalanche conditions prevented us from reaching our destination, and we had to return.

Snails of Cuba! In the end, we found 5 species, including the most endangered and arguably also most beautiful, Polymita sulphurosa. Unfortunately, we also encountered illegal sale of the shells on mountain pass.

Why? Project is on the evolution and conservation of these snails, led by Dr Bernardo Reyes in Cuba and working with colleagues from London zoo, Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Trying to get my fediverse posting system sorted before #fieldwork this year. What are you all using to edit your @loops videos (ideally on your android phones)?

I found this amusing, expensive 3D printed busts in the souvenir shops inside the Colosseum in Rome. Also smaller models of the Colosseum itself, other busts in larger and smaller sizes. FDM printed so the tell-tale layers that to me are so wonderfully 2010s. (October 2023)

Photograph of a souvenir display inside the Colosseum, Rome. The souvenirs are plastic 3D-printed busts of Caesar Augustus, Julius Caesar, Antonia Minor and Cupid, each in a different colour. Each clearly has the ripple layered texture of the extruded 3D-printing technique. The four busts are on a shelf that is labelled with a sign, "€150.00 Don't touch please". Above the shelf are the personas' names and some information. Colosseum, Rome, Italy, 19 October 2023. Photo Cindy Kohtala

Lauren can be seen here demonstrating the Topock Belly-Crawl, an important technique to master when working in Topock Marsh on the Lower Colorado River project!

First day of field work in eastern Cuba. 5 am depart, 8 pm return. No snails, no breakfast, no lunch, 35°C, ran out of water, no food or drink in shops!

But we did see a dude cow-surfing (?)

Hey Mastodon, we need some expertise on #soil #remediation for a story. Have you ever done any hand-on #fieldwork inoculating dirt with a new #microbiome? Do you know anyone who has?
