It's so great to see this package (on CRAN since 2021) finally formally described in a journal! Here's to many more years of standardized, customizable, and reproducible geology data visualization! And shout out to @richardstockey.bsky.social and @lewisajones.bsky.social for years of encouragement!

Heard from a former (undergrad) student who just defended her PhD. Students: tell your old profs about your successes and achievements. It's not bragging, and we love to hear about it. It's one of the best parts of being an educator. #academicsky

See you later today for our next Lecture! 🤩

Really excited for this talk by @richardstockey.bsky.social next week! You won't want to miss it! I hear he'll even be announcing a new R package 📦?! 😯🤫

Hey check out my dire wolf

!New Paper Alert! Matrix independent and interference free in situ boron isotope analysis by laser ablation MC-ICP-MS/MS pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a.... In it we use our Neoma MC-ICPMS/MS to overcome the complexities of measuring boron isotopes by Laser Ablation in carbonates and other minerals. ⚒️🧪🌊🪸

The SCION Earth Evolution Model is turning 4 years old this spring. We have celebrated by extending the framework back to ~1 Ga before present We find some agreement with broad environmental trends from the rock record, but there is still plenty to learn! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@uoscommsallison.bsky.social @uosmedia.bsky.social @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social Come one come all... Launch event 4th April, 6-9pm

Really sad to report that our friend and colleague Richard Fortey passed away this morning after a short battle with cancer. We’ll all miss his wit and wisdom. Here he is checking out a dino footprint we found while filming together on the Isle of Wight

🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series🚨 🗓️27th February, 16:00 UTC Next week we are looking forward to hosting Dr Xia Wang from Chengdu University of Technology, who will give a talk on “DDE-Outcrop3D: an interactive platform for digital outcrop models” Don’t miss it! Register here: bit.ly/palaeoverse-...

Over its multimillion-year history, multiple planetary cooling mechanisms working together were required to push Earth into 'icehouse' conditions and to form ice caps. See our new paper on this here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We’d like to announce the Spring 2025 line-up of the 🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series🚨 Don’t miss these four excellent speakers! Register for a Zoom link here: bit.ly/palaeoverse-lecture-series-2025

Strong evidence of ecosystem engineering 🪱🪸 increasing biodiversity 🎨 throughout the Phanerozoic! Really awesome work by @alisoncribb.bsky.social; I'm honored to have been involved! #ecosystemengineering #paleontology #paleobiology #rstats

New preprint live today on ecosystem engineers during the Phanerozoic, and evidence we have found that metazoan bioturbators and reef-builders have had persistent positive impacts on community biodiversity since the Cambrian 🪱🪸 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

Southampton palaeobiology having a great time at #PalAss2024 this year 🌍🦕🪸🐚 @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social

Merry PalAss to all who celebrate 🎄🪨🦖🪼🐚 @richardstockey.bsky.social

Hello! 👋 We are Fossils in t'Hills, a volunteer science communication group based in Yorkshire, England! Our team are all experienced palaeontologists who have full-time 'day jobs' in museums and science education.

🚨Fully-Funded PhD Alert! 🚨 Want to join the @unisouthampton.bsky.social Leverhulme Resilience Centre? This project, supervised by me, @profjulianleyland.bsky.social and Dr Nick Dorward, explores links between sand mining, urbanisation and river-related risks: www.southampton.ac.uk/study/postgr...

New paper led by Emily Hollingsworth in Geochemical Perspective Letters. We use Raman spectroscopy to evaluate rock organic carbon oxidation during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum and assess its role as a positive feedback mechanism! (1/3) www.geochemicalperspectivesletters.org/article2444/

A very pointless & unproductive thing I did is analyze electoral durations of U.S. House Representatives. Two superficial similarities to Phanerozoic taxon durations jump out: (1) declining turnover rates through time & (2) the election of 1932 was basically the P-Tr mass extinction for Republicans.

Migrating back to the good place... and speaking of good places, why not consider coming to the University of Southampton to do a PhD in coral reef palaeoecology??! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Not sure if #FossilFriday is a thing here, but just in case here's sunrise and sunset on a 4x4-cm landscape of brachiopods, bryozoans, and crinoid fragments from the Late Ordovician Ellis Bay Formation of Anticosti Island, Québec. Imaged with a Keyence vhx-7000.

In Nature Geoscience today, we use our community-driven consortium science approach to reconstruct a Neoproterozoic oxygenation event that may have played a role in the Cambrian radiation of marine animals but didn’t oxygenate the deep oceans www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great opportunity for geo- and data scientists to work with @gernon.bsky.social here:🧪⚒️

Pleasantly surprised to see @gernon.bsky.social and colleagues research mentioned in my kids science magazine (Oyla) in their article about greenhouse gases and climate change 👍👍👍
