#Tilia_v3_2_Update Neotoma Paleoecology Database has released Tilia v3.2 for the full community. Tested by Tilia stewards, this major update is ready for use. Explore the new version and share bugs or feedback. lnkd.in/gSuTan7g lnkd.in/gxxe2WkB #Tilia #neotomadb #Paleoecology #OpenScience

🌍 Neotoma is built through global collaboration. Funders, partners, stewards, educators, developers, and researchers help connect Pliocene–Quaternary fossil data so we can understand climate change, biodiversity shifts, and ecosystem transformation through time. #NeotomaDB #OpenScience

🌍 Paleoecology is global. So is Neotoma. Neotoma is more than a database—it’s a community-curated scientific infrastructure where contributors, stewards, educators, and researchers turn complex fossil data into trusted, reusable knowledge. #NeotomaDB #Paleoecology #OpenScience

Neotoma’s software ecosystem includes apps, APIs, and an SDK that let users prepare, validate, submit, revise, archive, retrieve, explore, and visualize paleoecological data—while enabling developers to build web frontends and analysis tools. #Neotoma #OpenScience

Neotoma covers mainly the Pliocene–Quaternary record, supports many fossil data types, and offers open, community-curated, standardized paleoecological data with flexible models for sites, proxies, cores, age controls, and more. #Neotoma #Paleoecology #OpenScience

🌿 Neotoma is more than a database—it’s a software ecosystem and community supporting global-change research with open, community-curated paleoecological data for biodiversity, species dynamics, ecological forecasting, and long-term environmental change. #Neotoma #OpenScience

Neotoma Paleoecology Database supports global-change research through open, community-curated paleoecological data. State of the Database: Sites: 30,520 Datapoints: 13,717,625 Datasets: 45,257 Publications: 15,075 Website: www.neotomadb.org #Neotoma #Paleoecology #OpenData

Really exciting to see the SISAL and speleothem community working with @neotomadb.bsky.social to improve a whole-environment understanding of the past! #kr10 #paleoecology #paleoclimatology

I think this work would be really interesting to do with @neotomadb.bsky.social. We have site locations and linked publications through the database. Let me know if you’re interested support!

Great talk by @pickeringrobyn.bsky.social at #kr10 talking about issues of neo-colonialism in karst & speleothem research. Includes this cool paper looking at volcanology: doi.org/10.30909/vol... @pages-ipo.bsky.social

Just saw this really cool paper using paleoecological data to discuss conservation issues around settlement in Madagascar. Good pollen, great multiproxy #palaeoecology #paleoecology @neotomadb.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/0959...

It's a small thing, but thanks to all the African researchers who have been contributing records to the African Pollen Database, the plot of African data in Neotoma now actually looks like Africa. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! #paleoecology #pollen #APD

Postdoctoral Fellow in Paleoecology The ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Paleoecology to join our interdisciplinary research team at The University of Melbourne. 🔗 jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/91951...

Excited to be representing @neotomadb.bsky.social at the #kr10 karst and speleothem meeting in Cape Town, South Africa! Looking forward to learning more about speleothems!

Now Christopher Kinsley talking about Curaçao stalagmites and the IBIS Bayesian approach for age-depth models in U-Th dating. Learning lots about how we need to modify our age modeling tables in @neotomadb.bsky.social! #kr10 @pages-ipo.bsky.social @pickeringrobyn.bsky.social

Really excited for #KR10 in Cape Town! Cant wait to show everyone the work Socorro Dominguez and @sjgoring.bsky.social have been doing to get the SISAL database integrated with all the other amazing resources in the database.

New op ed estimating the replacement value of community curated data resources and "long tail" data they contain by me, Jack Williams, @sjgoring.bsky.social and Jessica Blois. We've been working on this for a while, and it now feels both timely and out of date: eos.org/opinions/the...

Thanks to Andrea Thomer, @iceageecologist.bsky.social, and Jessica Blois for showing the value of Neotoma. $1.5 billion in replacement cost. The critical role of community curated data resources in @agu.org’s @eos.org : eos.org/opinions/the...

Exciting to see more #paleoecology talks in #spanish by the LAPD & @neotomadb.bsky.social group! @geolatinas.bsky.social

So much stuff going on! We’re getting ready to finish uploading a database of European ostracodes, building tools to work with #speleothem researchers around the world, and getting ready to meet a fantastic group of #aeDNA folks for one of our next grants. Neotoma really is one big packrat midden!

Awesome! Cant wait to see how it goes!

Dear all, it is almost time for our annual meeting in #Erlangen, Germany. Here the program: palass.org/meetings-eve... The official conference hashtag is #PalAss24 See you there! #FossilFriday

I've been putting together a list of talks at #AGU24 that might be of interest or relevant to folks who work with @neotomadb.bsky.social or are active in #paleoecology and #paleoclimatology. I haven't searched for Bluesky names yet, so please tag yourself if you see anyone you know mentioned!

Also @otherrock.bsky.social talking about lipid biomarkers in the Andes on Tuesday morning (GC21B-08) looks cool #agu24 @neotomadb.bsky.social
