It was a fantastic chance not only to share my research but also to connect with fellow palaeontologists and geochemists interested into palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. Inspiring to see the exciting directions our field is heading! (2/3)

In my talk, I'll explore the drivers behind said these ecological changes and highlight our multi-proxy approachโ€”combining fossil evidence, elemental geochemistry, and clay mineralogyโ€”to reconstruct past environments. (3/4)

I recently published a high-resolution timeline of floral change, calibrated to the global chronostratigraphy. Our group (Tracy Frank, Christopher Fielding, Michael Hren, Chris Mays) revealed that the most dramatic shifts were driven by two distinct climatic events during the Early Triassic. (2/4)

Plants struggled for millions of years after Earthโ€™s worst climate catastrophe โ€“ new study A deep dive into Earthโ€™s distant past shows how life on land struggled to recover long after the worst warming event of all time.

I have just published the first paper of my PhD. If you are keen about ancient climates and how plants fared extreme events, please read about it in our piece for @theconversation.com!

In my case, geochemistry allowed us (Chris Mays, Tracy D. Frank, Christopher Fielding, Michael Hren) to precisely date plant community changes across time following the end-Permian mass extinction ~252 million years ago. (2/3)

A week ago I had the chance to present one facet of the fractal that are Earth Sciences at the 10th anniversary of iCRAG. I was happy to share (on stage and in poster format) the power that interdisciplinary has in complementing findings. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿชจ (1/3)
