Very honoured to have received the SCNAT Prix Schläfli Geoscience Award 2026 for looking into how vegetation dynamics shaped hyperthermals in Earth‘s past 🌱🌋

If you want to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet, less meat is nearly always better than sustainable meat.

"Eine Gruppe Schweizer Landwirte und Landwirtinnen verklagt die Regierung – nicht wegen zu viel, sondern wegen zu wenig #Klimaschutz...". #Landwirtschaft Landwirt:innen als "Treibkraft für mehr Klimaschutz" auch hierzulande, das wäre was.

🚨Less than 2 weeks to apply for a fully funded PhD position in Functional Vegetation Paleoecology🌿 at @sciencecharles.bsky.social, Prague! 🇨🇿 📅 Deadline: January 15 🔄 Spread the word! #plants #vegetation #global #macroecology #palaeoecology #quantitative #ecology #functional #traits #fossil #pollen

An important review - The ecology of plant extinctions - "Recent warm-edge extirpations demonstrate the growing impact of anthropogenic climate change & show that predictions of massive climate-driven extinctions later this century are plausible" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🌾🌎🧪🌐

Are you studying interactions between biologic, climatic and tectonic processes over geologic time? Consider submitting an abstract to our EGU session on the co-evolution of life and planetary processes! Abstract submission deadline on the 10th of January! More info: tinyurl.com/yshn4vfr

Deadline for fully-funded (!) PhD at @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social on rock organic carbon oxidation is next Monday! Looking for someone with an interest in organic geochemistry or earth system modelling. Co-supervisors are @gernon.bsky.social, @richardstockey.bsky.social and @bjwmills.bsky.social.

Happy to see this out! How does the speed of vegetation recovery affect the long-term climate after a massive magmatic carbon degassing? Find out here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Super stoked to see this paper out today! We've made a model for global C, O and P cycles over Earth history and it does a fair job of matching combined proxies. The key driver for oxygen rise is the build up of crustal carbon. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new paper on the future of ecosystems is out today! We used climate and biome models to infer how anthropogenic CO2 emissions might shape the global distribution of different vegetation types over the next 500 years 🌎🌲🌴🌵 doi.org/10.1098/rstb...

Life and Planet 2024 is happening this July! We're hoping to make it even better than last year. -> FREE abstract submission -> Cheap registration -> 3 days of science, discussion and collaboration Abstract submission open now at: lifeandplanet.com

Happy to start this account by sharing the first part of my PhD work that just got published! 🌱 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
