What if a lost continent could reveal hidden chapters of evolution? New interview out 🎥 Meet Chris Beard and explore Balkanatolia, an echo of African faunas, where fossils and new techniques uncover mammal dispersal 🦴 youtu.be/8vUZkenrvzo

Check the interview of @carinahoorn.bsky.social, a great intro on how we work with pollen when reconstructing deep time paleoenvironments!

@mustafayk.bsky.social was postdoc in our team and is now lecturer at Aachen University in Germany. Check his interview!

Check out the video of @mustafayk.bsky.social speaking about his work on past climate and dispersals !

The first PhD paper of @benjaminraynaud.bsky.social, also featuring @carinahoorn.bsky.social, @mustafayk.bsky.social, and many others! A dive into the Eocene flora of Balkanatolia.

A new preprint from our research group is online! In this paper, Paul Botté, PhD student in the project at @climatecerege.bsky.social, studied the evolution of continental environmental through the late Eocene and earliest Oligocene in central Anatolia. egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

🎙️ Our first interview is out! Meet Leny Montheil, geodynamicist and paleogeography specialist, as he takes us back to the Eocene to explore how primates dispersed across a changing world. ▶️ Watch it now on YouTube youtu.be/bjzU_UIXseU

How did mammals cross oceans millions of years ago? Our first video introducing the ERC-funded DISPERSAL project is live on YouTube 🎉 👇 Check it out! youtu.be/COdGQYkdraw 🎙️ First episode of a series of interviews with the scientists involved. Stay tuned — more interviews coming soon!

64 paleomag core in one day! Record beaten for this field season in Kazakhstan. With @mustafayk.bsky.social and Arman Seidali. Across the Eocene Oligocene Transition, hopefully.

First days of fieldwork in the Eocene of Kazakhstan, looking for vertebrate remains and paleoclimatic archives. With @mustafayk.bsky.social and many others

We show that endemism started at least by 47 Ma, and possibly much earlier, in the Paleocene. Older sites are so far lacking, but we expect to publish some in the next few years (stay tuned!). With @benjaminraynaud.bsky.social @mustafayk.bsky.social and many others at @climatecerege.bsky.social

‘All models are wrong, but some are useful’ And when we combine them in ensembles they are less wrong and more useful Sharing again our paper on this issue - as I still encounter people touting their model as ‘the best’ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
