I have a new PhD position open in my research group, for a project studying how soil microbial communities, metabolism, and carbon use efficiency respond to drought 🧪. The application window closes on April 30, full instructions and more information here: jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stell...

Can we use H isotope offsets among lipids as proxies of algal community composition? New paper led by Antonia Klatt shows that changes with community throughout a year in Rotsee aren similar results from cultures and indicate minimal influence from heterotrophs: doi.org/10.1016/j.gc...

Back in 2019 we screened an obscure lineage of bacteria for a side project and noticed something quite unusual. A quinone, used in cellular electron transport, that looked similar to the type used by plants and algae to perform photosynthesis.

Anyone in my network know an excellent, German-speaking administrator who would be interested in working at the University of Basel? We are looking for a new Managing Director of the Department of Environmental Sciences jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stell...

For those interested in publishing in a 💎*~diamond~*💎 open access geochemistry journal, consider submitting your manuscripts to @weareagc.bsky.social---opening for submissions next week! #isotopes #geochemistry #cosmochemistry #openaccess

To all prospective PhD students with an interest in organic geochemistry and paleoclimate - we have three competition-funded PhDs on offer this year via our DTP (deadline 8th Jan). More details below!

Achieving climate targets is primarily limited by politics, institutions and humans, not technology, solutions or money. It's values and priorities, about who we are. (1/7)

Wait, when did Emiliania huxleyi become Gephyrocapsa huxleyi???? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gephyro...

When did people first inhabit islands in Remote Oceania, and how did they feed themselves when they arrived? Our new study, led by Giorgia Camperio, constrains the timing of human arrival on Efate, Vanuatu, and demonstrates that the first inhabitants cultivated taro: rdcu.be/dZmgY

Just voted in the US election. I continue to be grateful to Washington state for making this process so easy for citizens living abroad! But then I look at the polls and wish I was still registered in Pennsylvania instead...

It's a wrap! Toni and Theresa have just spent six days carefully sampling sediment cores from lakes Owasco, Neuchatel and Biel for ancient DNA. In the coming months we will see if we find evidence of harmful algal blooms in these systems throughout the past ~12000 years

Job alert: #postdoc in environmental geochemistry, University of Freiburg (DE). Apply by 15 October or position open until filled. More info: www.eag.org/jobs/

New paper from Julio and I on marine OH-GDGTs around Iceland. TL;DR nitrate concentrations and water-column stratification are best correlated to OH-GDGT distributions, and not temperature (at least for Iceland...) www.frontiersin.org/journals/ear...

Heads up my climate science colleagues, UW's Department of Atmospheric and Climate Science is looking for an assistant professor in atmospheric dynamics, including the study of weather and climate phenomena. Great department, great colleagues, great location. Info here! apply.interfolio.com/149349
