Our researchers have been part of an international team that found climate change contributed to permafrost thawing and glacial thinning, which caused the catastrophic rock and ice collapse on the northern Nepalese border in August. ⬇️

Key factors include permafrost degradation, ice-filled fracture thaw, earthquake preconditioning, increased meltwater infiltration, and heavier rainfall. The mountain and surrounding areas are marked with red lines highlighting the failure location. The background shows snow-capped peaks with some rocky areas exposed.

Happy 25th birthday to the Gateshead Millennium Bridge! 🥳

One of seven iconic bridges crossing the Tyne, the Millennium Bridge is famous for its striking curved design and innovative tilting mechanism.

Were you ever lucky enough to catch it tilting when you were on the Quayside? 👀

You might have seen some of the 96 Peter Rabbit sculptures taking over the Toon, but did you know some were designed by a Newcastle medical graduate?

Having studied to become a doctor on campus, today Joseph (aka Arty Joe) is a GP and professional landscape artist based in Whitley Bay.
