Ever wanted to catch a falling star? @FireballsUK, a new project led by @Daly_Planet from @UofGGES, is tracking meteorites streaking across the sky - and they're looking for volunteers to help find them when they land! https://t.co/tipiogsFTi pic.twitter.com/ClBIJFOxYn

Finding solutions
Here at the School of Geographical & Earth Sciences we investigate and work towards finding innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues: from the climate crisis and energy production, to widespread inequalities and poverty.
Find out more about how we tackle these issues locally and globally in these featured stories.
Join our students on a field class to the River South Esk as they investigate the decline in numbers of Scottish freshwater pearl mussels,
and seek solutions to the various challenges that threaten this endangered species.
