It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

Top: Plot showing variation in the estimated slopes of the palaeolatitudinal biodiversity gradient through time across the Phanerozoic (including data from Europe and North America) for 1000 km grid cells. Slopes are estimated as the coefficient of per-cell, stage-level SQS diversity on absolute palaeolatitude for individual stages. Triangle data points meet quality criteria; circles do not. Red points are significant; grey points are not. A blue ring around a data point indicates a post-extinction interval. Horizontal blue shaded region highlights slopes close to zero.
Bottom right: Plot illustrating the relationships between per-cell, stage-level diversity estimates and palaeolatitude aggregated across the entire
Phanerozoic, globally. Data point colours indicate palaeolatitude zone: blue triangles, low; green squares, mid; purple circles high latitude. Solid black line is ordinary least squares regression line; dashed line traces the 95th quantile for each latitudinal band.
