We have a new perspective piece out at Nature Geoscience taking a critical view of how we talk about ice sheet stability and where we can go from here. Check it out! rdcu.be/faUdM

“Cleaning up” plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch with giant nets will skin the sea raw, and plastic will continue to come. “Cleaning” the garbage patch has never been about healing nature. It has always been about cleaning our shame.

Last day of my affiliation with Kumamoto University. Next week, Kikaijima!

@zifeiyang.bsky.social has been working hard on getting laser boron isotope analysis of individual benthic forams working and I am pleased to say her paper just came out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... . Shows that single benthics can capture the evolution of T and pH on seasonal timescales

Talked to some seismologists. We want to know if the era of tectonics, structure and Earth dynamics below, say, 10 km depth observed via geophysical methods is over. At least as far as the American research geoscience community is concerned. The community is certainly *acting* that way....

In 2025, the ocean gained 24 Zettajoules of heat, but what is a zettajoule? diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/2026/03/28/w...

We have an open postdoc position at @ccrc.bsky.social. This postdoc will work with @jasonpevans.bsky.social, Fiona Johnson, and me, together with partner organisations NSW DCEEW and @nswses.bsky.social, on rainfall extremes and flooding. external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/53...

I have read countless studies on lake sediment cores from the Holocene and Pleistocene. Here's one from the late Cretaceous! The Lac de Gras kimberlite pipes have a wondrous record of deep past climatic conditions, including one that preserves unfossilized Paleogene aged wood doi.org/10.1139/cjes...

Uh oh.

This week I am visiting the IBS Center for Climate Physics at Pusan National University in Busan, South Korea. I decided to add the paleo sea level data from Busan to GAPSLIP for the occasion. It is one of the nicest Holocene sea level curves in the world!

Geomorphtweeps - does anyone know of a bedrock canyon being carved by a single flood event? I know Mike Lamb @caltech.edu has published on some (Box Canyon and Canyon Lake Gorge) but are there others? Reskeet widely! 🧪⚒️

🧵🧪❄️🌊As today is UN World Day for Glaciers I'm taking the opportunity to post this reminder that the main reason nobody can confidently predict how much sea-level will rise over the rest of this century and beyond is "deep uncertainty in ice sheet processes" (IPPC AR6). #WorldDayOfGlaciers #Sealevel

If you've ever wondered what would happen if a response to a review was filled with really bad puns and references to Star Wars, I’ve got you covered. I just hope the reviewers rise to the occasion because I think we can do something really special here.

Congrats to @aecpaleo.bsky.social on her new first authored paper, just published in @egubg.bsky.social! doi.org/10.5194/bg-2... With @cindydejonge.bsky.social and @sebjoannin.bsky.social. Please also check out @sebjoannin.bsky.social’s post! 👇🏻 #brGDGTs #TeamBacteria @egu.eu 🧪 ⚒️ 🦣 👩‍🔬 #PaleoSky

Um. Yeah. fediscience.org is a cool server for scientists on Mastodon

Katsuko Saruhashi created Saruhashi’s Table, the first method for measuring carbon dioxide in the ocean using temperature, chlorinity, and pH level. She also founded the Society of Japanese Women Scientists. #WomensHistoryMonth

Getting direct measurements of CO2 from Pliocene-aged ice has been a Holy Grail of climate science! A new paper by @jmarkspeterson.bsky.social provides a record of CO2 going back 3million years(!), with (let's say) intriguing implications for anthropogenic climate change doi.org/10.1038/s415... 1/

Next month, I will be starting a new position as a researcher at the KIKAI Institute for Coral Reef Sciences! Kikaijima is a small island in southern Japan. I have written a blog post about this and some reflections on my time in Kumamoto during the past 5 years. raisedbeaches.net/2026/03/10/t...

One thing I have learned over the years is to only use institutional email addresses for institution business. Anything outside of that, including correspondence with colleagues and submitting papers, should be done with Gmail or similar service.

A nice reminder that 1) some impact records are, in fact, real and 2) they can get published in legit journals.

I’ve watched Next Goal Wins and so I am probably qualified for this job at the University of the South Pacific. plusportal.perrettlaver.com/VacancyDetai...

I just started up writing a second manuscript. Can I finish both manuscripts this month? It would be a good conclusion to all the work I have done in my spare time during the past two years.
