For centuries, Scotland’s identity has been closely linked to its stone-built heritage. However, maintaining these structures is an exercise that requires engineering expertise, highly skilled artisans and access to materials that will mirror those that were available at the time of construction. BGS research, commissioned by Historic Environment Scotland, reveals an opportunity to re-establish the Scottish building stone market in order to maintain the country’s historic buildings. https://lnkd.in/emptC_uA

With the combined risks of sea level rise, rising temperatures and an increased frequency of extreme weather events, the Philippines is one of the countries most at risk from the effects of climate change. A new ‘Hydro Hub’ project will build a collaborative community of UK and Filipino academics to advance research on the hydrology and effects of climate change in the Philippines. https://lnkd.in/eqe-g5Ze

Enjoy these images of the recent aurora captured by our fireball cameras at the Earth Solar System Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London camera stations at Hartland Observatory. The SCAMP Meteor & UK Fireball network cameras look at the sky 24/7 to spot fireball events. The recordings will enable us to potentially collect meteorite fragments as the meteors fall to Earth.
