Two impacts at the KT boundary? Maybe, looks like better dating is required but great find! www.theguardian.com/science/2024...
Scans of underwater crater in West Africa suggest another large asteroid smashed into the planet around the same time
The past IS the key to the future. Fantastic effort - 485 million years of global temperature correlating with atmospheric CO2 in this new paper by Judd and others www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... . 🧪⚒️
"Scientists have captured Earth’s climate over the last 485 million years. Here’s the surprising place we stand now." by Sarah Kaplan and Simon Ducroquet for the @washingtonpost.comwww.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
An effort to understand Earth’s past climates uncovered a history of wild temperature shifts and offered a warning on the consequences of human-caused warming.
Three weeks of great fieldwork in Turkey, building-up a detailed paleoclimatic record for Paleogene Balkanatolia. With many Turkish, American, and French colleagues to praise. A big part of the ERC DISPERSAL research project.
A fantastic homage to the ship that has probably provided more science than any other. Sad times 😢🧪⚒️🌊
lots of good articles/posts about the JOIDES Resolution going around these days — this one by Suzanne O'Connell is a nice overview and worth reading ⚒️🧪⛴️🧊🌊 theconversation.com/the-workhors...
The National Science Foundation says that the JOIDES Resolution has become too costly to fund. But scientists say its $72 million annual budget pales compared with discoveries the ship has enabled.
Excited to be speaking at the Roual Society if Edinburgh this Wednesday eve on how we can use the climates of the distant past to understand the climate of the future. Free to attend and open to all - please spread the word! ⚒️🧪https://rse.org.uk/event/climate-change-simple-serious-solvable/
How does climate change work? And can our actions truly make a difference? Join climate scientist Dr James Rae for this interactive talk as part of curious festival.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to participate in a consensus study on the potential functions of a new center for paleoenvironmental records of extreme events. www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/fun...
Hoogakker et al present a review of oxygen and carbon isotopes in benthic foraminifera. The measurements of isotopes in forams form the basis of our understanding of paleoclimate changes, and it is clear that there are challenges remaining to interpret them. ⚒️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Stable isotopes in the calcium carbonate of benthic foraminifera provide important paleoenvironmental information about seawater/sedimentary porewater…
