My paper is on TV!!! See our research presented on BBC North West about the sewage crisis in the Mersey

Thanks to all colleagues - staff and students alike - who have helped out at the Durham Earth Science Open Day today. Another one tomorrow - great to meet prospective students and their families.

The first paper from our FACE-UP consortium has been submitted for journal review! Thanks so much to the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) team and everyone involved in the work package for getting us to this point!

Delighted to see the National Geothermal Centre launched, and looking forwards to close involvement with Durham Earth Science

our open-access paper (Freya Alldred GeraldineR) is being presented tonight on BBC north-west at 6.30pm BBC North West - hear about the historical record of sewage in the River Mersey / Mersey Estuary
