Is the #AMOC approaching a tipping point? Here's my take after researching this topic for over 30 years. Open access, peer-reviewed, in full colour & understandable for non-experts.

How do you discuss geology when you speak a language where equivalent words don't exist yet? If you're geologist Lethu you create new words! Sinelethu tells Simon Clark how she translated #geoscience for #isiXhosa . #scicomm

New article, led by Msc graduate McDonald Mtonda, uses Sr isotopes to correlate rocks across different continents and constrain global weathering patterns around the Precambrian / Cambrian Boundary.

So the £38,700 income threshold *will* apply to spouses of British citizens who are already in the UK.

They need to satisfy new, higher threshold when applying for extension of their visas.

This is unbelievably low and appalling, even for the Tories.

I often hear people say they don't understand what 'British Culture' means.

I think we can all agree this is a shining beacon of Britishness: The reflection of a guy in Hi Vis, the bollard placement, the use of a 'Smoking Shed' as a 'Multi faith area'.

THIS is Britain.

New work from our department shows how mineral precipitation controlled metal availability in Archean oceans, shaping the evolution of early life.

The scientific consensus for #ClimateChange and that is is caused by human activities is 96-100%.

People think it's just 60-70% of climate scientists, because bots and climate change deniers flood social media and newspapers with false data, lies and fossil fuel propaganda.

The UK is planning on massively increasing visa costs.

Currently a researcher looking at a 5-year Global Talent Visa, together with their partner and two children, needs to find £13.4k.

All up front. A big ask.

But that’s now slated to increase to…

**£20.9k**
