#quaternary — Public Fediverse posts

I have made claims about a lagoon of unfrozen water along the east coast of england and scotland during the last ice age. The evidence for this and other absurd claims is laid out here.

A re-interpretation of evidence for how the ice sheets developed during the last ice age and how deglaciation changed the face of Britain.

One downside of migrating servers is that your posts disappear (at least mine did). So here's my #introduction! I am a #geomorphologist at #UCalgary, focusing on rapid geological changes in high altitude & high latitude environments. In other words, I study #geohazards and #Quaternary environmental change in #glacial and alpine environments. I use variety of tools incl #satellite remote sensing & field mapping to understand how Earth changes shape on timescales of a few seconds to millennia.
