Some of the food I homemade for my friends 😃

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy caturday

My roses has been blooming nonstop 🌹🌹🌹

glad someone is raising awareness about this!!!

Do not forget that we are still accepting applications for this Mineral Science tenure-track position at the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Science. UHEAS will be at AGU if you have questions 😃

great opportunity for students and ecr

📢 November news is out! Did you know that PAGES has a monthly newsletter for the global #paleoscience community, featuring upcoming deadlines, opportunities, events, and other updates? Catch up on everything in our latest newsletter: pastglobalchanges.org/news/138741

Our Geochemistry Seminar tomorrow will feature Kyra Bennett. The presentation is entitled “Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms for Petroleum Geochemical Fingerprinting in Energy and Environmental Applications”

Again congratulations Gabriel, doing cave monitoring is difficult, but he demonstrates an excellent grasp of the topic and handled very well the problem he was assigned to address 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And I am grateful for IAEA for supporting my efforts in this regard. We are working on data from Rodrigues (as sister island, very tiny tiny island) to expand what I found. (hoping for funding to train more students), I learned a lot by studying these novel proxies!

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

We’re excited to host our very own, Dr. Jiajia Sun, Associate Professor in Geophysics to give a seminar talk about “Advancing Subsurface Imaging with Generative AI: Across Scales from Continents to Deposits”. See details in the flyer and see you this Friday!

cats say happy caturday

and you know what, my student also secured a job, and as a mentor and an advisor, that’s a great outcome!!

Applications are open for the 2025 Student Development Workshop (SDW) at Skukuza, Kruger National Park! 🌿🦓 A great opportunity for students in archaeology & heritage management. 📅 6–10 Dec 2025 See details on SAASS social media & website: www.saassarchaeology.com/upcoming-eve...

Our research on d18O calibration in Puerto Rico revealed a seasonality bias in isotopic fractionation and different seepage effects on isotopes and elements. It belongs to the cave monitoring special issue! Congrats Gabriel! @uh-earth-atm-sci.bsky.social digitalcommons.usf.edu/ijs/vol54/is...

Postdoc vacancy: Microbial dormancy in the cryosphere @erc.europa.eu #ERC_SIESTA 📢 PLEASE RT 🧬 Single cell microbial activity measurements, flow cytometry, cell sorting, omics, ecological interpretation ☀️ Marseille, France ‼️ Apply ASAP & before 7 Nov Link: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

we have a paper accepted just today! We will share when it is out :)

If you’re going to GSA, my talk is this coming Monday @uh-earth-atm-sci.bsky.social

A sad piece of news: I am heartbroken to learn that Jay Quade passed away today—a profound loss for our geoscience community. Jay was an inspirational scientist, an exemplary colleague, and an extraordinary human being. I’ll miss you, Jay! 😞

Come join our Department, we have an open Assistant Professor position for mineral science. Apply here: careers.uh.edu/jobs/assista...

Our next Geochemistry Seminar Series for next Tuesday is with Dr. Voarintsoa. See details in the flyer.

Fullbright program for Pakistanians wishing to do postdoc in the USA (I can host if interested) usefp.org/scholarships...

Congratulations🥳 to Dr. Voarintsoa @voary.bsky.social (my PhD advisor) for her remarkable contributions in Applied Geochemistry. Valuable for understanding and reliably interpreting paleoclimate data. Source: www.linkedin.com/posts/uhnsm_... @uh.edu

fyi

Nice job Nikita!

this is exciting!

I’ve dreamed to make my office greener that time has finally arrived

Happy caturday, says my two lovely cats

🚨August Days of Action is coming to an end! Call your reps and tell them: cuts to science hurt communities, climate leadership & research.

This was really a great kickoff for the new semester!

U of H first football game day of this semester, it’s right outside our building, quite nice to see the band and the music @uh-earth-atm-sci.bsky.social

Great couple days of back to school, with Cougar First Impression, my first time volunteering, and seeing students, faculty &staff all around campus is warming!

Time to highlight another couleage I found is now on this platform: @rilovlab.bsky.social who are working on topicalization, bioenergetic, invasive species, and other interesting things. 🌊 And, oh, look at that, they have an open position!

Back to school with the Shasta’s ❤️ @uh-earth-atm-sci.bsky.social

🚨 Another new paper! 🚨 My coauthors and I gathered data on four planktic foraminiferal species from 115 core tops in the Indian Ocean to test the question: does adding non thermal parameters to Mg/Ca calibrations make them "better" than temperature-only models? Check out our work below! 🌊🧪

📢📢📢 NREE IS HIRING 📢📢📢 We are looking for an Associate or Senior Editor to lead the weather and climate area of the journal. Based in New York or Shanghai Click the link for more info: bit.ly/40Tvux7

checking for leak is always fun 🥹😅, luckily this time was an easy fix

🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨 We reconstructed past ocean salinity in one of the largest Subantarctic Mode Water production centers on the planet: the southeast Indian Ocean. We found a rapid increase in SAMW salinity during the Last Deglaciation. Where did this salt come from? We argue the deep ocean. 🧪🌊

My department @utoronto.ca (www.utm.utoronto.ca/biology/) is hiring a molecular biologist in any field (e.g., ecology, evolutionary biology, etc.). Please encourage any excellent finishing PhD students, postdocs or assistant professor to apply here: jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Mississa...

Come and join me at UNSW Sydney. New fellowships available for world-leading mid- to senior- academics. Escape the USA and enjoy life in Australia. www.unsw.edu.au/research/gre...

it is really wonderful to see when your collaborator send you a photo of your farmed watch glass, with precipitates on it 🥰🥰, can’t wait to have them here for analyses

🧪Have a terminated NSF grant? Or been impacted by such a termination? Call your Senators, esp if they're Repub!! An amendment to restore killed NSF grants will later be debated on the *full Senate* floor, after it narrowly failed in committee today. 🧵 Brief thread 1/4

More rainfall samples for a better understanding of climate tracers, but importantly how they transfer to climate archives!

Journal of #Pyrogeography has launched this week - we warmly welcome your submissions! We cover landscape #fire interactions with #climate, #ecosystems, and #society and welcome studies from diverse research fields spanning the natural and social sciences. www.sciencedirect.com/journal/jour...
