Clear northward view of the Ochil Hills (here, the fantastic fault scarp) from Larbert 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Devonian age volcanics lie to the north of the Ochil Fault and Carboniferous sedimentary rocks to the south. #backyardgeology

(L) The end of my UNIQ+ internship @oxfordtephra.bsky.social in 2022, and (R) two weeks ago in the 2nd year of my PhD (and in the chaos of #StormÉowyn), continuing to analyse tephra from Campi Flegrei. An insightful experience for those considering PhD life! 🔬🌋
