Hi #speleothem folks, April is the month for third episode of ICCP speleothem lecture series. Dr. @annabelwolf.bsky.social will share her insight about Southeast Asian monsoon in past, present and future using water isotopes. E-see you on 21st April, 09:00 am KST

Don’t look up 👇🙈🙉🙊

My poster is up (number 38)..Drop by if EASM isotope hydrology interests you..

After the excellent talk from @paleopatt.bsky.social, March is the time for second episode of ICCP speleothem lecture series. Dr. Elizabeth Olson from Union College will share her insight about the South American hydroclimatic change over the last 450 kyr. E-see you on 14th March, 09:00 am KST

Reminder for tomorrow
See you there

Happy to invite climate enthusiasts to our online seminar series at ICCP, Busan on Friday 21st February 09:00 KST. @paleopatt.bsky.social will discuss the potential of speleothem δ⁴⁴Ca and Mg/Ca as quantitative rainfall proxies.

The AMOC is slowing, it’s stable, it’s slowing, no, yes, … There's been a bit of media whiplash on the issue of AMOC slowing lately - ranging from the AMOC being on the brink of collapse to it being more stable than previously thought. AMOC, of course, refers...

AMOC news can be confusing—is it slowing? Collapsing? Remaining stable? There’s studies that claim each!

That’s why, instead of the latest headline, I always rely on what @rahmstorf.bsky.social has to say—he’s studied it for nearly 40 yrs and knows how each new study fits into the bigger picture.

Pliocene Warmth and Patterns of Climate Change Inferred From Paleoclimate Data Assimilation Pliocene sea-surface temperature (SST) data are assimilated with model simulations from pliocene modeling intercomparison project phase 2 (PlioMIP2) and Community Earth System Model (CESM) The mi...

It's been such a crazy week, I haven't had time to post about it yet...but yeah, we have a new paper out 🎉 in @aguadvances.bsky.social about the Pliocene - the last time Earth experienced CO2 level like we have now. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Australopithecus at Sterkfontein did not consume substantial mammalian meat Incorporation of animal-based foods into early hominin diets has been hypothesized to be a major catalyst of many important evolutionary events, including brain expansion. However, direct evidence of ...

Hot off the press, in a study published today in Science, we show that Australopithecus did not consume
substantial mammalian meat

I will be attending the entire conference..it would be a nice opportunity to talk to you

🚨 My colleague Mads Knudsen and I have a new project exploring the timing and paleoenvironment of early human migration through the southern Caucasus and we're looking for a PhD student to join us in the field and in the cosmo and biomarker labs!

📣 Please share, and find me at #AGU24!

This is a misunderstanding of the 1.5C target, which was never based on a special significance of 1.5C with respect to tipping points, but rather a recognition that we were already experiencing dangerous and escalating climate change, and 2.0C allowed too much further escalation.

Tropical Leaf Wax n‐Alkane and n‐Alkanoic Acid Reflect δD of Precipitation During Early Stages of Leaf Growth: Insights From an Isotope Labeling Experiment Hydrogen isotope records of leaf wax n-alkane and n-alkanoic acid from the tropics reflect climatic conditions during the early leaf growth Both deciduous and evergreen leaf wax hydrogen isotope ...

A really cool new study on leaf wax hydrogen isotopes and their seasonality. We use measurements of hydrogen isotopic ratios in ancient leaf waxes to reconstruct ancient rainfall, studies like these help constrain what these paleo signals mean agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
