and another one: has anyone here gone through the arduous process (e.g., for teaching graphics) of converting the various past1000 forcings (volcanic, solar, GHG) to radiative forcings in W/m2? This seems like....a big job. And surely someone here has the code for it(!) Hence my attempt at laziness

Has anyone here used the PMIP4 past1000 submissions from IPSL-CM6A-LR or MPI-ESM1-2-LR? And more importantly: could point me to where I could find them?! I only recently learned that they exist but can't find them. At this stage I'm only after tas (past1000 and the associated historical sim) tyty

I won this sweet prize for being the biggest nerd at an enormous meeting of nerds @linkedearth.bsky.social #AGU25

It's been a fantastic #AGU25 week for Hydroclimate2k - lots of new H2k friends made at the poster session, SO many amazing Common Era hydroclimate talks, and an H2k lunch so fun that I forgot to take a photo. A great reminder of what a wonderful global community we have :) #21daysof2k

#AGU25 folks, there is a rapid- response town hall TODAY on the #NCAR dismantling at 1 pm, La Nouvelle Orleans ballroom C (per an AGU media advisory)

Typically, I forgot to ask someone to take a photo of my #AGU25 talk. But I liked the part where people giggled instead of hurling fruit every time I (mostly accidentally) threw shade on various parts of the community.

At #AGU25? Come by my poster this afternoon to chat about our in-development @pages-ipo.bsky.social database or indeed any of my absurd number of current projects

Can days 1-4 of #AGU25 exceed the lofty heights of day 1, which featured a full day of fun presentations but most importantly this incredible exhibition hall prize?? Immediately my new map projection of choice

The snowgum (Eucalyptus pauciflora) is one of the (relatively) few Australian tree species with clear annual rings. Researchers at Adelaide Uni and ANU are using snowgum cellulose d18O to produce a new record of alpine hydroclimate over past centuries #21daysof2k @pages-ipo.bsky.social

Interested in tropical (paleo)hydroclimate dynamics, water isotopes, and data-model comparison? Going to #AGU25? My supervisor, Alyssa Atwood, is giving an invited talk on our research into the 8.2 ka Event on Thurs., 18 Dec. between 11:40-11:50 CT! 🌊🪨🧪👩🏻‍💻 agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...

Did you know the current Hydroclimate2k project isn't the first time PAGES 2k has dipped a toe into understanding global hydroclimate? In 2016, researchers gathered in Palisades, USA to discuss data-model comparisons of Common Era hydroclimate. Read about it here: pages2kpmip3.github.io #21daysof2k

Have you been following @profmattjones.bsky.social and @raindrop-herder.bsky.social who are sharing insights into the work of the PAGES 2k Network working group? Drop them a follow to see what else they have in store during the #21daysof2k! Website: pastglobalchanges.org/science/wg/2...

Some of the beautiful varves from Nar Gölü, Türkiye. Each pair of layers represents one year of lake sediment. The varves tell us about hydroclimate e.g. where they change colour, as do the proxies we measure from them e.g. Dean et al 2015 QSR 124:162 #21daysof2k @pages-ipo.bsky.social

One of the current flagship activities of PAGES 2k is compilation of the Hydroclimate2k database. This map shows records currently being assessed for inclusion, with more records being added by a global team of project members. Read more here: agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me... #21daysof2k

Throwback to 2017 when Iso2k project members met up in Zaragoza, Spain for the first (and only!) in-person workshop of a mammoth five-year database collation effort. Here we are, variably spelling out the name of the project or providing an enthusiastic backdrop #21daysof2k @pages-ipo.bsky.social

In 2019/2020 Kangaroo Island (Australia) was devastated by severe bushfires. Researchers at the University of Adelaide are developing new Common Era lake and speleothem records to discover how fire and rainfall regimes on KI are changing with climate change #21daysof2k @pages-ipo.bsky.social

Hydroclimate2k will be at #AGU25! Come along to poster PP33C-1090 from 2:15 on Weds 17th to say hi and see what we're up to. #21daysof2k @pages-ipo.bsky.social agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...

One of the great things about @pages-ipo.bsky.social projects is the opportunity to work with amazing scientists from all over the world; here's a few of the 2k Network at a workshop in Nottingham last year #21daysof2k

The PAGES 2k Network (pastglobalchanges.org/science/wg/2k-network) has been investigating the climate of the last 2000 years since 2008. The Network is currently focusing on hydroclimate, co-ordinated by scientists from 8 countries over 5 continents #21daysof2k @pages-ipo.bsky.social

Yaal Chac, Mexico – a new site for inclusion in the Hydroclimate2k database (Metcalfe SE et al., 2022, Quat Sci Rev 282: 107445) and a photogenic start to our #21daysof2k event. Over the next 3 weeks we'll be giving daily insights into the work of the PAGES 2k Network. @pages-ipo.bsky.social

new water isotope preprint! egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20... We used the MAGIC of machine learning (ok, random forests) to predict monthly precipitation stable isotopes over the Australian continent, at monthly resolution from 1962-2023. Details at the paper; pretty animation below

I’m very pleased to share that our paper on Early Neolithic boar feasting at Asiab is out in @commsearth.nature.com. rdcu.be/euyuO. Many thanks for all the Early Career Research support that made this study possible 🐗🦷👩‍🔬 @raindrop-herder.bsky.social

absolutely thrilled to have spent two hours this morning sorting out GST assignments on my purchase card acquittals when apparently there is an entire finance department at the University of Adelaide busy doing...something else. I swear this place is set up to actively discourage research

No advert out yet, but I will recruiting a 2yr postdoc, start date autumn 2025, at @livunigeog.bsky.social soon. Lowland and upland peatlands, GHGs, DOM and water chemistry. Plenty of fieldwork. Feel free to drop me a DM or email if you might be interested, and please spread the word.

In a drought-prone country such as Australia, there’s an age-old question: why do the rains sometimes disappear? Recent research from @21stcenturyweather.bsky.social shows Australian scientists are getting closer to answering this question. science.anu.edu.au/news-events/...

Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970. A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes. It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:

in these dark times, I am thrilled to announce I just sent off a finalised paper draft to co-authors, featuring SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINETEEN panels across 28 figures (that's a personal best or personal worst, depending on your preferences)

two weeks into my DECRA at the University of Adelaide: my project funds still don't exist, I don't have building access, and I won't have a computer until mid-May. I'm not sure what's going on with the admin/HR/finance in this place but the results are.....shambolic.

Just out - incredibly important analysis led by Dr Chiara Holgate with @raindrop-herder.bsky.social @climatenerilie.bsky.social and a very large impressive team on causes of Australian droughts. A timely read in SA and WA for sure... www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Out today: our comprehensive review of Australian droughts. It covers the nature and drivers of drought development, intensification & termination - and how those are changing with climate change. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

DECRA day #1: got stuck in a bizarre loop where to find out my finance project codes I needed access to a system that could only be granted entering, into an online form, the correct project codes. In better news, there's a feijoa tree outside my new building.

@agu.org has a tool to find & contact your legislators about FY25 #science funding. It provides scripts, email text, phone numbers & sends emails. agu.quorum.us/campaign/FY2...

After three jam-packed years, today was my last day at ANU. During my postdoc here I learned a LOT, went to cool places, did fun science, and met a truly delightful bunch of people. I'll miss ANU but looking forward to starting my DECRA fellowship at Adelaide Uni in just under a month

Rumours in Canberra that election will be called on Monday. We still have choices Australia. I want to preserve them. Putting my money where my mouth is. www.climate200.com.au/campaign/fight-back-against-coal-funded-lies-meta?utm_source=copylink&utm_medium=social&utm_content=sharelink

90 minutes to get home, get glam, and get to the National Museum? No problems, with a classic Georgy slapdash black tie effort* Now off to the #SMP2025 Gala Dinner to see how many times I can work the word 'megadrought' into casual conversation

40% of the mass of everything transported by a ship in 2023 was a fossil fuel. That stat paired with this new study shines a pretty harsh spotlight on how obscenely bad-faith the right-wing concern trolling around offshore wind + whales is www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
