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 We've been working on this for a while, and it now feels both timely and out of date: eos.org/opinions/the...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...

La Red Latinoamericana de Polen invita al webminar "Construcción de bases de datos para registros paleoecológicos inusuales del norte de Chile" por Dr. Claudio Latorre. El evento se realizará el 12 de marzo a las 9:00 am (hora chilena). Inscripciones: www.neotomadb.org/outreach/lap...

Great to see these papers going up! Congratulations Simon! A new constituent database in @neotomadb.bsky.social, published in @codata-isc.bsky.social's Data Science Journal. Looking forward to more of these in the future! #FAIR #CARE #pollen @annikaherbert.bsky.social @anu-chl.bsky.social

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

And another cool one for #AGU24 that may be of interest to @neotomadb.bsky.social folks working with CARE principles: Tues. Dec 10: Utilizing Landscape Modeling and Paleoecology to Identify Impacts of Indigenous Stewardship Practices on Fire Ecology in the Sierra Nevada, California (Talk, PP23F-02)

Thanks for putting together the list! These all look like awesome talks!

I’ve created a starter pack for #zooarchaeology and #biomolecular archaeology for all periods. Let me know if you want to be added go.bsky.app/Nv8XE4r 🦣🧪🏺🦴🦷

In the past month, 15 new records from the Indo-Pacific region have been uploaded to @neotomadb.bsky.social. The total for 2024 is 89, the grand total 225, over 165 sites. Please contact me for more info and/or to add your records to this growing list. @anu-chl.bsky.social

Thanks to Callan Morse (nit.com.au/posts/author...) from National Indigenous Times for covering our recent study on fire in Lutruwita/Tasmania - “Study suggests Tasmanian Aboriginal people managed Country using fire thousands of years earlier than first thought” nit.com.au/20-11-2024/1...

Our new study out in @ScienceAdvances shows human presence in Tasmania at least 41,600 years ago, nearly 2000 years earlier than previously thought, and Aboriginal people burned and used wet forests. Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
