Sediment in my wine and the Cumbrian floods

 Last week I blogged about sediment and linked to a paper on the historic flooding record as shown in the sediments in Bassenthwaite Lake. Having told my class about sediment in wine, I found some at the weekend.

Since then it has rained non-stop in Cumbria. I found this tweet yesterday. His mention of the sediment plume will be one way that events like today will show up in the record in decades and centuries to come.
