Delighted to see my colleague and friend @ProfPaulDunlop present his research on failing concrete in Leinster House.

His research was into the cause of the failure (internal sulfate attack) and into the mental health crisis it has caused.

Delighted to see our paper "Lines in the Landscape" published.

Thanks to @MikePeacock86 for organising a great workshop for ditch "experts" a few years ago in Liverpool. They discussions there led to this publication. It highlights the importance of ditches in our landscapes.
