Christmas lights in La Fortuna

Christmas lights in La Fortuna

Christmas in Costa Rica was very different to in the UK; certainly far less showy and commercialised. It did feel very weird seeing Christmas lights while it was warm enough to walk around in just a t-shirt at night. Taken on my recent holiday to Costa Rica over Christmas 2022.

I’m Alex Clarke

Geologist, educator, photographer, first aider, leathercrafter… I am a person of diverse interests and expertise.

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Johannes Gutenberg–Universität Mainz. My research focusses on the tectonics of subduction zones and understanding how the physical heterogeneity the plate boundary interface influences the wider-scale tectonics and hazards. I also love to teach and am interested in innovative and engaging methods of teaching earth sciences, both in the classroom and in the field.

I am also a hobbyist nature photographer and my images highlight the hidden wonder and diversity of our natural world. In my remaining time, I volunteer as an Advanced First Aider for St John Ambulance and am a hobbyist leathercrafter.
