Maggie and Anke at ICC Istanbul
Maggie and Anke both presented their research at the International Clay Conference in Istanbul this year. Run as a hybrid meeting, it was a new experience and gave plenty of time and room for networking, research and also exploring Istanbul.
Maggie and Anke also enjoyed the sightseeing tour organised through the conference and meeting old and new colleagues from around the world.
Field work at Force Crag

Field visit to Force Crag
Andy went to Force Crag for his first sampling campaign on 20 and 22 June. We took MSc students along for their field work as part of their dissertation, so it was two intensive days with loads of samples collected and data measured in the field.
