One of Sinnesael’s most impactful efforts was the co-ordination of a global meeting that brought together researchers to critically evaluate existing methodologies in his field. This led to community-wide recommendations for best practices, and the resulting publication has been influential in shaping how studies of Earth’s past are conducted.

On a lighter note, the end of July also saw the delayed start of the Tokyo Olympics, and as guest blogger Aoife Glass explained, there is a lot more geology in the Olympics than you would think, especially with the introduction of new sports such as climbing and mountain biking!

Javier Amezcua – Tecnologico de Monterrey CCM Topic: Exploiting underused datasets to probe the middle and high atmosphere Knowing the current state of the atmosphere is essential to initialize numerical weather forecasts. It is not an easy task, however, to observe the global atmosphere adequately. In particular, few observations of the middle and upper atmosphere exist. Some phenomena in the Earth’s surface generate infrasound waves.
