Waiting for the @MicrobioSoc conference to start - looking forward to some great #Geomicrobiology this week!
Some great talks so far at today's @geolsoc #lyell17 meeting - #microbiology and #sedimentology, a match made in mud!
A beautiful afternoon for #biogeochemistry #fieldwork in the @biosfferdyfi - two cores collected ready for analysis! #WetlandsForOurFuture
Another day of #fieldwork completed in #Norfolk. Thanks to the @Holkham Estate for looking after our beautiful coast! #WetlandsForOurFuture
