I'm glad to share our new study on the nature of distributions of gaps in empirical geochronologies of geological section as a function of time scale. Measurements of proxies are highly uneven if measured through time. 1/5  www.nature.com/articles/s43... 🧪 #Geology ⚒️ #Paleobio #EvoBio

🚨New paper out with @alexauderset.bsky.social! We show that the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) was better oxygenated during the warm Miocene Climate Optimum than today, but its path to full deoxygenation was slow and complex. Link to paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

🌊✨ From @iMARES_group, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a 2026 full of ocean discoveries! We’ll keep advancing knowledge to conserve marine ecosystems and ensure their sustainable use. Thank you for being part of this mission! #MerryChristmas #Happy2026 #BlueScience @icmcsic.bsky.social

So... somehow @oscarsproject.bsky.social funded our project! 🎉 FAME - A new open science Framework for spatio-temporal Analysis of Marine Ecosystems. Basically: making marine SDMs easier, FAIR, and slightly less painful. Huge thanks to @mgraziapennino.bsky.social and @imares-group.bsky.social

FunSeas - Functional connectivity in ancient seas 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 my first project in Spain starts next month Now looking for students DM me if you’re interested sites.google.com/view/kagiadi... @icmcsic.bsky.social @imares-group.bsky.social @maria-bas.bsky.social

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: https://scim.ag/48bLsGI

Hello! we have a new paper out today in @science.org reviewing Calcifying Plankton : from Biomineralization to Global change 🌊🧪🐚 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Brachiopods once were the dominant invert group, but after the Permian-Triassic extinction, bivalves began to run the show. There are 100s of brachs alive, but >20,000 species of bivalves by some counts! Brachs to me are the elves of invert paleo. A noble race reminding us of a better age. (302)

Incidentally, the very nice schematic of cryosphere changes over both ice sheets was drawn by @jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social Tak! 🙏 New paper out today in @nature Geosciences: The Greenlandification of Antarctica Readcube pdf: rdcu.be/eJiqJ

🌊 Ocean stratification has increased since the 1960s, rising 0.8%/decade due to warming, with projections of up to 2.9%/decade by 2100 depending on emissions Impacts: reduced vertical mixing, altered heat and carbon uptake, intensified cyclones, and ⬆️ ecosystem stress www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

That moment when you spot a deep-sea cutie 😍 Deep-sea hatchetfishes cleverly camouflage themselves in the dark depths of the ocean with light-producing organs along their bellies. This allows them to match the daylight filtering from surface waters above and hide from predators lurking below.

🌊 In 2023, the ocean carbon sink weakened for the first time in a record-hot year 🌡️🌎 Our new study in Nature Climate Change quantifies this unexpected decline and explains how it came about. 👇 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

"An analysis... of 25 different #climate models shows that the #AMOC could begin to collapse by 2063 (2026-2095, 25th-75th percentiles) under an intermediate emission scenario... When the AMOC collapses, the NW European climate changes drastically & this will likely induce severe societal impacts"

Hi Everyone. This was just published on the "Conversation" website. An important discussion of "who owns history". theconversation.com/fossils-are-...

the authors made their global map of source-to-sink systems available for download as well –– if you want to load into a GIS application and do your own analyses: figshare.com/articles/dat...

this is a very cool paper –– and timely, will be a great one to dive into with students in my Sedimentary Basins course this fall pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/...
