Well worth a watch
New Video! Today we're diving into the great unknown; caves, to learn both how/where they form and how life adapts to them so that we can begin to understand their biogeography!

Fascinating to see geography in action
A large channel has been eroded in #ChesilBeach possibly a result of flooding. The scale of this feature is unusually large, providing a fascinating glimpse into the structure of Chesil Beach. It may naturally heal itself as the sea continues to move the shingle, time will tell.

This is amazing
My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share

BRILLIANT NEWS!! MEPs have approved the Nature Restoration Law! Now we all need to roll up our sleeves, and work together for outcomes that are fair to both nature *and* farmers. We can do this. rte.ie/news/europe/2024/0227…

Today, the paperback edition of 'An Irish Atlantic Rainforest' goes on sale. So far, about 20k copies of the hardback have sold: fantastic for an 'Irish nature book'! We're seeing a real revolution in attitudes towards the natural world in Ireland, and there's NO going back. 🌍

🌏On #WorldWetlandsDay we're marking Ireland's beautiful Raised Bog Programme! 🌿These vital ecosystems provide a habitat for many flora and fauna, and are crucial in climate regulation. 📈We are making progress with an extensive restoration program for protected raised bogs.

We’ve had a few messages come in, with followers asking about these “strange lights” in the sky over Cork this evening. They’re Starlink Satellites, Elon Musks Broadband service.
