By now, I made three Earth ⚒️ and Marine 🌊 Sciences 🧪 Starter Packs: Paleoenvironmental researchers: bsky.app/starter-pack... Scientific Drilling ( #IODP / #ICDP ) researchers: bsky.app/starter-pack... Marine biogeochemistry researchers: bsky.app/starter-pack... One of them may be interesting.

Reviewer liked Figure 3, so I've got that going for me, which is nice

Last week I had the honor to receive the Walter-Schall-Award by the Society of Natural Sciences Württemberg for my studies in southern Germany. I want to express my gratitude to Klaus Rehfeld and the Society for the warm reception and the opportunity to present my work at the annual meeting

Do you like benthic foraminifera? Do you like the PETM? Boy, I have an article for you! pubs.geoscienceworld.org/cushmanfound...

So many new people, new topics, and new opportunities in my first week as a postdoc at the University of Cologne. Looking forward to an exciting time. Bonus: More snow in one day than during my entire time in Heidelberg

Our first exploration of psychopathological symptoms due to climate change awareness (CCA) in persons with pre-existing mental health diagnoses got published! Our sample showed a heightened vulnerability…🧶 #PsySciSky #ClimateSky www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Excited to announce that I will join HESCOR (Human and Earth System Coupled Research) at the University of Cologne next year. I will investigate the impact of climate fluctuations on hunter-gatherer migration (45-15 ka BP) in Europe using a high-resolution Human and Earth system coupled model.

this is a bloody great name for a climate report www.unep.org/resources/em...
