Oh blogs you fickle things! I forget about you for a year or two and magically you have disappeared (it’s both fortunate and lamentable that embarassing teenage diaries don’t do that)

Anyway here we are, back at the first post, and I should probably set out why this blog existed in the first place…

• To give me an outlet for extolling the many (occasionally well-hidden) virtues of working in the Earth Sciences
• To broadcast some of the awesome things which you can’t help but come across when working at a University
• For occasional rants about great / terrible / hilarious science

So there we have it. More installments soon (or at least within the next year or two!)
