Don't eat that! A large foraminifera trying to eat grains of olivine. It soon realised that they weren't food, but had no problems afterwards, so... not poison!

#exoCeanadvent Day 9: Meet Maxime (again). At @exoceanlab.bsky.social and @climatecerege.bsky.social Maxime has been conducting several experiments focusing on the culture of marine organisms. One project involved culturing foraminifera in the presence of olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4, an igneous mineral.

Clay suggests that this isolation was associated with a moderate uplift generated by an episode of lithospheric foundering, tens of millions of years before what is commonly proposed in the area. This scenario opens new interpretative ways for the rich geomorphological history of Anatolia! (n/n)

In this paper, Clay reconstructed the drainage history of the Cankiri Basin in central Anatolia following the final closure of the seaways straddling across Balkanatolia. He showed that quickly after the final closure, the Cankiri basin got completely isolated (2/n)

🚨New paper alert🚨 The last PhD paper of Clay Campbell, part of the tectonic investigations we did in Turkey to understand the paleogeographic history of #Balkanatolia -- with @megomueller.bsky.social and our paleontologists collaborators.

The amazing, brilliant, and adventurous professor Jay Quade of @uarizona.bsky.social and @nationalacademies.org passed away peacefully last Friday in Tucson, surrounded by loved ones. He was probably the brightest and most honest scientist and human being I had the opportunity to work with.

Last days of fieldwork in Anatolia, with Serkan Akkiraz, Paul Botté and @benjaminraynaud.bsky.social! Exploring the Sivas Basin to date the onset of the modern steppe landscape with various stratigraphic and paleobotanical tools. Part of the @dispersal-erc.bsky.social project!

This change without warning is devastating to a bunch of students who had the rug pulled out from under them! A 1-cycle warning, or even a warning a few months ago would have been game changing for a lot of junior scientists.

Quick update: after we protested the decision this morning, the editor rescinded the rejection and reassigned our manuscript to a new editor for consideration. It’s still unclear whether the manuscript will actually be sent back out for review...

Where is the science in that? It's particularly frustrating, sincetThe first and only review we got was positive and suggested a few moderate comments before publication.

Unbelievable experience with the journal Palaeo3. Our manuscript was rejected because… they couldn’t find a second reviewer, and it had been in their system “too long” (7 weeks), according to the editor. In other words, just to preserve their review-speed metrics, they rejected our submission.

Only two more weeks to register for the RST in Montpellier this October (the Geosciences meeting of the French Geological Society, occurring every two years)!

Probably the most interesting Earth Science meeting in France, we highly recommend it!

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!

We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.

Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑

The paper also precisely refines the Paleogene stratigraphy of the Paratethys. U-Pb dating made at @climatecerege.bsky.social. Mustafa is one of our former postdocs, and now active collaborator of the @dispersal-erc.bsky.social project! (n/n)

His work shows that the fall of sea level during the earliest Oligocene glaciation significantly impacted the oceanic circulation in the Paratethys. A lot of new, cold and freshwater, likely coming from the boreal seas (2/n).
