Hello #sciencetwitter universe - does anyone have any recommendations for the best (free, but we do have access to Zoom) online platforms for hosting virtual participant training events (up to, or > 100 participants possibly)? Any recommendations/advice is welcomed, thanks!
#sciencetwitter can anyone recommend the best (free) online platform for hosting virtual #participant training events please? GoogleMeets, Zoom? My colleague in Peru is looking to run a online event for participants to show them how to use a #CitizenScience app! Thanks! 💻 🇵🇪 💧
New #blog post from the SIGMA team attending at this years #vEGU21 - come and read about the work presented by our researchers and some reflections on #virtual #conferences 🌞💻sigmaperu.wordpress.com/2021…
Yesterday our sister project @NuestroRioPeru launched their @GCRF citizen science app to collect local perceptions of water quality in the Peruvian Rio Santa basin via a photo of their local #river. Please share with your friends, colleagues and family in #Peru! 🌎
¡Hoy celebramos el #DiaDeLaTierra con el lanzamiento de la nueva app Nuestro Río! Descárgala y colabora con la recolección de datos en la cuenca del río Santa: solo tienes que seguir las instrucciones del video👇🏽@igp_peru @InaigemPeru @TheMountainInst
#SinCienciaNoHayFuturo
Keep up the fantastic work @PlymUni @igp_peru @TheMountainInst @InaigemPeru @Caroline_Clason @kitch_jess @BeardyDylan @SRangecroft @ocean_isabel @alejandrisu @NuestroRioPeru

@Caroline_Clason & @SRangecroft just explored some fun & free flowing creative writing inspired by their research and fieldwork in the SIGMA project with @WritingBright! Here's to more #creative #sciencecommunication in the future
One of our team members has recently finished her thesis looking at ecosystem services in the Rio Santa! 🙌
Presentación de mi investigación realizada en el marco del proyecto @sigmaperu con apoyo del @igp_peru y el @InaigemPeru.
Agradecimientos sentidos a @mirthacamacho y a todo el equipo del UK: @SRangecroft, @Caroline_Clason y @LaurenceWRT.

Our GlacierMap prize draw has happened! 🎉 Keep an eye on your email if you entered to see if you were one of the lucky winners (£20 Waterstones voucher)!
GlacierMap is still online collecting #glaciermapping data. It is never too late to get involved 🇵🇪❄️ peruglaciers.org/
GlacierMap needs you! Come and map a glacier in Peru on our app ‘GlacierMap’ and contribute to science. Plus the chance of winning a £20 Waterstones voucher for participating. The perfect Friday work-break distraction! peruglaciers.org/
We are excited to announce today the release of our new citizen science app, GlacierMap! We have a new blog post about GlacierMap on our website - Come and read more about the project & participate to map a #glacier in Peru and contribute to #science 🇵🇪❄️shorturl.at/fuvP6

New blog post on our website about our @girlsingeosci workshop on Peruvian glaciers and water resources, life in the field and some recommended resources for those interested in learning more about glaciers and glacier retreat! #GiG2020 #virtualGiG sigmaperu.wordpress.com/2020…
SIGMA Peru's @Caroline_Clason and @SRangecroft held their virtual @girlsingeosci workshop yesterday with great engagement from the girls participating as they explored our study region using Google Earth and investigated the processes and impacts of glacier retreat!
Our first 2 workshops are in action! Volcanoes, landslides and tsunamis with @Irene_Manzella, and @Caroline_Clason and @SRangecroft are presenting Peruvian glaciers and water resources! Fantastic interaction and virtual fun! #virtualGiG #GiG2020
Caroline and Sally from the SIGMA project will be running a workshop on glacier change and water resources at @girlsingeosci this year. Sign up, sign up! ❄💧
Bookings are now open for Virtual GiG 2020! We have some amazing inspiring speakers, workshops, fieldtrips, panels and more! For more information check out our webpage plymouth.ac.uk/whats-on/girl… and we'll be tweeting out all the news, so watch this space!
The @sigmaperu team can't wait to get to work on the GlacierMap citizen science project, funded by @UKRI_News, to contribute to a better understanding of glacier change and water resources in schools! The GlacierMap tool will also help to track Peruvian glacier change over time.
Innovative research projects will use citizen science to assess the impacts of climate change. 🌎
Funded by @UKRI_News, the two initiatives in Peru and East Africa will examine the impacts of melting glaciers and soil erosion respectively.

Brilliant two day UK meeting for all UK-Peru #NERC projects discussing project synergies, collaborations, sharing of good practice, and ideas for future work & impact: Survivors photo @DuncanQuincey @DrNickBarrand @Moya_Macd @hydrojon @eisstrom #NewtonFund #UKPeruGlaciers #water
Annual @CORIF_PLYMUNI Christmas walk on Dartmoor on Monday! We were lucky with the weather @Caroline_Clason @kitch_jess @BeardyDylan
Fancy finding out more about our fieldwork sampling and analysis for sediment origin and movement in the Rio Santa basin? Our PhD student @kitch_jess has written a blog to describe her work on the SIGMA project in Peru bit.ly/2s4PwHn @PlymUni @CORIF_PLYMUNI @PlymGeog
SIGMA Peru's first fieldwork blog entry is up, describing first impressions from our study area of the Rio Santa when @SRangecroft and @kitch_jess travelled across to Peru for sampling earlier this month bit.ly/2Drgrzq @PlymGeog @PlymUni
Great second day with the UK & Peru team planning field work sampling and collaborations. Back into the field tomorrow collecting samples with @kitch_jess for sediment fingerprinting of the Rio Santa catchment
