The Neotoma Paleoecology Database

Lorena Becerra-Valdivia, PhD, of University of Bristol, will present on radiocarbon dating and Bayesian chronological modeling in paleoenvironmental applications using OxCal next October 31st, 2025, at 9am (Eastern Time). Registrations: psu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The Outreach and Community Engagement invites you to the online talk "Fundamentals of Radiocarbon DAting" by Ph.D. Brendan Culleton, Pennsylvania State University. Registration: psu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The LAP invites you to the online workshop R-Fossilpol hosted by Ph.D. Ondřej Mottl & Ph.D. Suzette Flantua. R-fossilpol is an R package that allows the compilation of large-scale fossil pollen databases for multiproxy analysis at various scales. Registration: www.neotomadb.org/outreach/lap...

A workshop group learning about the integration of speleothem data from SISAL into the Neotoma Paleoecology Database. People are arranged around a square table, while the presented talks.

Really exciting to see the SISAL and speleothem community working with @neotomadb.bsky.social to improve a whole-environment understanding of the past! #kr10 #paleoecology #paleoclimatology

I think this work would be really interesting to do with @neotomadb.bsky.social. We have site locations and linked publications through the database. Let me know if you’re interested support!

Great talk by @pickeringrobyn.bsky.social at #kr10 talking about issues of neo-colonialism in karst & speleothem research. Includes this cool paper looking at volcanology: doi.org/10.30909/vol... @pages-ipo.bsky.social

Just saw this really cool paper using paleoecological data to discuss conservation issues around settlement in Madagascar.
Good pollen, great multiproxy #palaeoecology #paleoecology

A plot of Neotoma sample sites from Africa plotted using R. Each sample site is represented by a single circle on a graph of latitude by longitude. The point cloud generated by these sites looks like the continent of Africa.

It's a small thing, but thanks to all the African researchers who have been contributing records to the African Pollen Database, the plot of African data in Neotoma now actually looks like Africa. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! #paleoecology #pollen #APD

A picture of the opening slide for the Karst Record 10 meeting. A lecture hall filled with happy and excited people.

Excited to be representing @neotomadb.bsky.social at the #kr10 karst and speleothem meeting in Cape Town, South Africa! Looking forward to learning more about speleothems!

Now Christopher Kinsley talking about Curaçao stalagmites and the IBIS Bayesian approach for age-depth models in U-Th dating. Learning lots about how we need to modify our age modeling tables in @neotomadb.bsky.social! #kr10 @pages-ipo.bsky.social @pickeringrobyn.bsky.social

Really excited for #KR10 in Cape Town! Cant wait to show everyone the work Socorro Dominguez and @sjgoring.bsky.social have been doing to get the SISAL database integrated with all the other amazing resources in the database.

@akthom.bsky.social is Andrea, just did a bad job of searching her handle.

Exciting to see more #paleoecology talks in #spanish by the LAPD & @neotomadb.bsky.social group! @geolatinas.bsky.social

So much stuff going on! We’re getting ready to finish uploading a database of European ostracodes, building tools to work with #speleothem researchers around the world, and getting ready to meet a fantastic group of #aeDNA folks for one of our next grants. Neotoma really is one big packrat midden!

Awesome! Cant wait to see how it goes!
