How to destroy “forever chemicals” for good | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

My first sole-author paper is now published! 🎉🎉🎉 It's the culmination of a lot of thinking, so I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to the friends, colleagues, and reviewers who helped make this happen 😊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

As the authors note, it is critical to account for the pattern effects during paleo periods to turn their ECS estimates into modern analogues: eartharxiv.org/repos...

Recent assessments have found the last glacial maximum implies a climate sensitivity of 2.4C (1.4C to 5.0C): www.science.org/doi/... And the Pliocene implies a sensitivity of 3.1C (2.3C to 4.7C): www.pnas.org/doi/10.... Paleoclimate evidence generally provides the strongest constraint on high ECS.

Check out the @pnas.org highlight for our new paper on how Paleoclimate Pattern Effects in the Pliocene lead to tighter constraints on the modern response to CO2 (a.k.a. climate sensitivity)

Really excited to see this paper out!! Led by @vtcoop.bsky.social we show that if you use cold and warm paleoclimates together, you can reduce uncertainty in Earth's climate sensitivity by quantifying the pattern effect and more precisely constrain future climate change www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
