Recently in Nature Geoscience, a culmination of NINEish years of work by 40+ people, led by the indefatigable @otherrock.bsky.social Iso2k is the source of & inspiration for some of my best science & also the source of some of my favourite science people so it is WILDLY exciting to see this out
Global temperature fluctuations during the last 2,000 years caused consistent changes in ocean evaporation and atmospheric moisture condensation processes, reflected in coherent water isotope signals ...
Yeah, I need to go read it in detail. Paleohydrology is so interesting. . .
We were just informed that due to a new Florida law we are no longer allowed to accept grad students or postdocs from a number of "countries of concern" including China. I've benefited from many interactions with amazing Chinese students & postdocs in my career. This is a huge loss for everyone.
