Being on social media is fine but if it’s getting in the way of you doing deep reading and deep thinking, then your balance of how you spend your time is off Lots of interesting threads here and none of them are a substitute for reading a good book or essay

Incredible serac fall from Hengsteren Glacier on Wetterhorn (3,690 m, Grindelwald) 🧊 37 degrees in the valley yesterday when this serac carve off 🥵 Meanwhile on the Monta Rosa the same day the temp at 3500m was between 6 and 13°C! 🔥 🎥 Kenton Cool

Melting over 80.6% of the area of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This is the highest value in our data set, which starts in 1981. @polarportal.bsky.social

Writing is hard because the process of getting something onto the page helps us figure out what we think—about a topic, a problem or an idea. If we turn to AI to do the writing, we’re not going to be doing the thinking either. (Rosenzweig 2023)

Can we infer fire intensity from charcoal counts alone in #palaeoecology? Most possibly not! Using several charcoal-based methods & novel Raman spectroscopy we recommend using several #paleofire methods for more informative past fire reconstructions @ncn.gov.pl #AMUPoznań @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social

There was so much going on #peatland & #palaeoecology-wise at the #EGU25 this year! Lots of great talks, posters, discussions, gatherings... 😊 As I have almost 0 photos from the congress, here you go, a beautiful finding from a quick visit at @leopoldmuseum.bsky.social, a wetland by Carl Moll

A great summary of our paper published this week in @pnas.org! #palaeoecology #numismatics #history #archaeology

Our new paper in @pnas.org shows how the first Polish dynasty established a state and later, due to social and ecological imbalance, orchestrated its colapse. We used #palaeoecology #archaeology #historical sources & #numismatics to show this complex process. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The new #EFFIS #Copernicus report is published. Wildfires burned around 148000 ha of protected areas in the EU in 2024, including areas that are part of Natura 2000, the network of protected areas covering Europe’s most valuable and threatened species and habitats.  op.europa.eu/en/publicati...

Arctic update for Mar. 1, 2025: Arctic sea-ice extent set a record daily low every day in February and is poised to set an all-time record low maximum this month.

🌍 Global peatland drainage - 3 key facts🌱 1️⃣ Artificial drainage damages peatlands and their ecosystem services. 2️⃣ Drained peatlands are more susceptible to flooding and burning. 3️⃣ 85% of drained peatlands are located in Europe and Southeast Asia. 📚For more info check www.unep.org/resources/re...

Fantastic graphics by the Wildlife Conservation Society on where peatlands are globally, where they're protected, and extent of human pressures on these intensely carbon & biodiversity important ecosystems #peatlands #peatsky storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/3265...

🌍 For World Wetlands Day we're launching 🚀 the most comprehensive European Wetland Map (EWM) 📅🗺️ yet! It shines a light on • types of wetlands such as peatlands, floodplains and coastal peatlands • their distribution • areas in risk of flooding Download here 👉 zenodo.org/records/1474...

On the one hand, I’m appreciating all the conversations about the turning point in social media, and that more people are quitting for more generative spaces like blogs and newsletters. On the other hand, that only works if you have an audience (often built on social media) to follow you there.

Hello, so, I'm an anthropologist who has studied wildfires for over a decade and, just recently, handed in a book manuscript for peer review on the pathologies of wildfire management in Australia and, to a lesser extent, Canada and the US. It's called "How to Control Fire" (TBC).

There's still a few days left to submit your abstract for the #EGU25. If you didn't decide yet on the suitable session for your #peatland #palaeoecology contribution consider our session on long-term peatland records! Cc. @utriculator.bsky.social @eurogeosciences.bsky.social

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

“Women are asked more questions during a seminar and the questions asked of women presenters are more likely to be patronizing or hostile. These effects are not due to women presenting in different fields, different seminar series, or different topics…” www.nber.org/papers/w28494

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water. Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️⭐️ Merry 4th Advent-week, cherished #peatland people! “Alas! How dreary would be the world if there was no #PeatECR!

Are you working on #peatland #palaeoecology and plan on coming for #EGU25? Than get swamped and submit your abstract to session BG3.26 on all things connected with long-term peatlands development! Can't wait to see you there! Cc. @eurogeosciences.bsky.social @utriculator.bsky.social

New paper out: Ten simple rules to publish palaeoecological data in ecology journals. Especially for ECRs, I hope it can be useful. dx.doi.org/10.1371/jour... It mostly reads as a 'how to write and publish an article', but we added many tips and references from palaeoecology.

A little summary of an epic fieldwork we did this year on peatlands on Disko Island, #Greenland with @peatblogger.bsky.social & Sambor Czerwiński was published this week in our Życie Uniwersyteckie AMU Magazine. It's in Polish but the photo says it all 😍 #INTERACT #ArcticStation #disco

So happy to share this! Our newest paper led by Mariusz Bąk has just been published! 🎉 We used long-term #peatland record, #dendrochronology, historical data & #remotesensing to assess the response of #wetlands to changing forest management strategies 🌲 ➡️ bg.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
