#geos2291 — Public Fediverse posts

I'm teaching a water isotope lab class this morning on the UNSW Earth Systems and Sustainability course. It is a nice mix of data analysis of Sydney rainfall isotope data and a tour of our water isotope lab.

I always hope for a bit of rain, so that the students can gain the hands on skills of water sampling in the class.

This year I ordered a bit too much rain, and I have had to warn the class of a severe weather warning and they have the option of working remotely.

100 mm down and at least the same forecast for today...

The #UNSW #earthscience teaching lab is all set up for start of term.

We have a new 'cave animal' poster on display for 2023 - this year it is the glow worm. Thanks to the 'Australian Cave Animal of the Year'. We have hundreds of free stickers for the students.

And an isotope analyser is analysing the #carbondioxide and #methane of the air in the lab. In a couple of weeks, students will be collecting air quality data from all over #sydney for their project.
