Third day on the Orkney Islands was a great success! Two cores, one >2m long, from the deepest secrion of the lake! Let's see what the sedaDNA will tell us about the history of the area

Communicating Interdisciplinary Data - Hescor

Researchers at universities rarely work with researchers in other departments - why? Dr. Elena Robakiewicz highlights the difficulties of understanding #research and #data in other fields and what HESCOR is doing to address data #communication issues!

✍️ HESCOR Comics
We are collaborating with Dr Frederik von Reumont (Institute of Geography Education) to create easily digestible #educational #comics about the #interdisciplinary scientific process for the public, ranging in age from school children to the young at heart!

HESCOR: Human & Earth System Coupled Research HESCOR unites Earth system science, human modelling & humanities to study how climate and culture have co-evolved across history.

Hello Bluesky! 👋
Welcome to the official Bluesky account of #HESCOR - an interdisciplinary research project based at the #UniCologne!
We explore how the human and earth system co-evolve, bridging natural sciences, system modelling, and the humanities.

Large scale and regional demographic responses to climatic changes in Europe during the Final Palaeolithic The European Final Palaeolithic witnessed marked changes in almost all societal domains. Despite a rich body of evidence, our knowledge of human palaeodemographic processes and regional population dyn...

Our study on #demograpic responses of #huntergatherers during the #FinalPalaeolithic in #Europe is out now:

💪🏼 Thanks to the great collaborative effort that has gone into putting together an #archaeological #database - available at zenodo.org/records/1313...

Interested in vegetation reconstructions from the Last Glacial in Europe? How do different approaches (pollen/models) compare? And most importantly, how to visualize all these data for a quick overview without spending weeks?

Check out an early version here:

🚨We developed a simple app to facilitate access to pollen-based vegetation 🌿reconstructions from Europe during the Late Pleistocene ☃️to scientists from other fields:

long story short:
- 98% of CO2 from flights
- noticeable decrease during and after (!) COVID-19
- lots of room to emit less CO2

you took a slight detour to make it a 45-minute bike ride

but parking on the bike lane just doesn't feel that same if the car does not fully cover it (and some more) and block the view for everyone

not a botanist, but here is my take

(1) Armeria pungens (2) Silene dioica (3) no idea (4) Setaria

Thanks to @gebhardtpsych.bsky.social !

These cookies might be 40,000 years past their "use before" date, but I will eat them anyways, for science

what can I say...

Oops, I looked myself up on ClearSky and it didn't show. Thanks!

Thank you for this gigantic list of people! It would be great if you could add me, as I work on (paleo-)climate and paleoenvironments.

Thank you very much!
