We have another exciting opening for a postdoctoral researcher! Full time, 24-month post on #Greenland Ice Sheet Change (1600-2023), working with Prof. Edward Hanna and our growing Lincoln Climate Research Group 👇 jobs.lincoln.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r… #academicjobs #climate UoL College of Health and Science


New paper out today in Nature Food on deep histories of food systems in eastern Africa and current patterns of food insecurity - nature.com/articles/s4301… Using historical, archaeological and palaeoecological records, I explore two main themes... Short 🧵

New article by Matthew Hannaford on historical geographies of food insecurity in eastern Africa, published in the journal Nature Food 👇 UoL College of Health and Science

The Department has advertised a new 3-year PDRA post on Antarctic extreme weather, as part of a NERC-funded project on the Processes, Impacts and Changes of Antarctic Extreme Weather. Closing date 7th January 2024 More info here - jobs.lincoln.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r… #academicjobs #climate

Reminiscing about some amazing fieldwork at ELA in Sept 2023 IISD Experimental Lakes Area. Just started counting the pollen this week and looking forward to seeing the results! Stay tuned... CCRG - Catchments and Coasts Research Group Lincoln Palaeo Lab

The 1st Women in Science Symposium hosted by CCRG - Catchments and Coasts Research Group was a huge success! Thank you all for your participation and presenting your work. We have a wonderful community of female scientists here at University of Lincoln, UK. Looking forward to fostering this community and the next event



Great to catch up with Kristen Beck again, these 'guys' the second contingent of students from Lincoln Department of Geography visiting Lincs Wildlife Trust Crowle Moors SSSI to take peat cores, both of today's groups managed c.3.5m which is a good depth here in the #humberheadlevels 🙂 #ClimateCrisis


On Monday, Crowle Moor welcomed Palaeoecological students on their annual trip from University of Lincoln, UK to take peat cores. They achieved the deepest core yet and left with (mostly) dry feet and a hot drink from the Crowle Peatland Railway! #humberheadlevels #EULIFEMoorSpace #LOVEpeat


Last week the Lincoln Climate Research Group & Lincoln Geographical Association hosted climate scientist Dr Julie Jones (of Sheffield Geography). Photo: inspecting our automatic weather station on the rooftop of the Isaac Newton Building - lincoln.ac.uk/geography/weat…


Absolutely loved this book and could not recommend it enough! Great read about palaeo, climate and science and from a woman in STEM to boot. Thank you Matthew Hannaford for the lovely wedding gift. #treestory



Last week, senior lecturer Kristen Beck and MSc student James Cameron from Lincoln Department of Geography started a new project with our Wilder Doddington team. By taking sediment samples from the Fishpond they aim to uncover details about the landscape from centuries ago. #wilderwednesday #UoL


The Department and CCRG - Catchments and Coasts Research Group currently have *three* PDRA openings: Modelling Coastal Nature-based Solutions - jobs.lincoln.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r… Economics of Groundwater Salinisation - jobs.lincoln.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r… Sustainable Agri-food Systems (with Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology (LIAT)) - jobs.lincoln.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r…

One of our students made a vlog of our recent undergraduate field trip to Crete. Here's a glimpse of our students working hard during the day and socialising together in the evening 🇬🇷👇 youtu.be/O3fB-O1dc6A?si… University of Lincoln, UK UoL College of Health and Science Prof Jo Rushworth NTF(非凡)

Delighted to have been awarded a UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship to develop new work on the origins and ongoing forms of climate coloniality in southern Africa.

Congratulations Matthew Hannaford. Looking forward to seeing the exciting work that will come out of this FLF!
