Het belang van de geologische geschiedenis van Malta als analoog voor ons toekomstige klimaat Het nauwkeurig voorspellen van klimaatveranderingen is cruciaal. Dit geldt vooral voor dichtbevolkte kustgebieden zoals de Mediterrane regio, waar flash floods steeds vaker voorkomen. Wetenschappers g...

Just started my new Postdoc position @geomarkiel.bsky.social. Working with @eleniwater.bsky.social

Looking forward to producing some exciting research into how our oceans function under different climatic stresses.

Capping off a fantastic visit to #Malta by Maria Mutti and Ben Randall with tea and ftira from one of Malta's authentic bars

(a) Zoned dolomite crystals displaying Ca- and Fe- rich bands, (b) dolomite crystals, (c) blocky calcite crystals in foraminiferal test, (d) Inner test of well-preserved planktic foraminifera containing blocky calcite crystals

We have a new paper, led by @zammitr2.bsky.social, on the complex interactions between climate, water chemistry, and post-depositional sedimentary processes... and how they can produce some wierd minerals. 🧪⚒️

Qammieh Bay, Malta. Mixed carbonte/siliciclastic outcrops spanning from the Late Oligocene (~26 Ma) to the Late Miocene (~6 Ma). A great record of Central Mediterranean climate. #Malta #Geology #Miocene #Oligocene
