Cores of turtle scutes (shells) are not an archive I usually analyse! Nice to go back to my marine science roots 😃

We identify a link between changes in turtle scute growth rates and environmental stressors.

I have also made the code for the changepoint analysis public: github.com/MRPHarris/Tu...

So happy to announce this new publication on Marine Biology involving 14C & turtle conservation 🔊👇

The work was led by the brilliant R.A.Prof Bethan Linscott (@miamirosenstiel.bsky.social) & included some of the nicest colleagues one could hope for (e.g., @mattrpharris.bsky.social)!
