🚨postdoc opportunity🚨 come and join our team at @climatecerege.bsky.social to work with @sulpis.bsky.social and his @exoceanlab.bsky.social lab!

Last days of fieldwork in Anatolia, with Serkan Akkiraz, Paul Botté and @benjaminraynaud.bsky.social! Exploring the Sivas Basin to date the onset of the modern steppe landscape with various stratigraphic and paleobotanical tools. Part of the @dispersal-erc.bsky.social project!

This change without warning is devastating to a bunch of students who had the rug pulled out from under them! A 1-cycle warning, or even a warning a few months ago would have been game changing for a lot of junior scientists.

🎉 Good news! The paper ‘Persistence of Gondwanan woods in Myanmar through the Paleogene’ in @annbot.bsky.social by Nicolas Gentis and co-authors is now #free for 2 weeks 🧵(1/6) 👉 doi.org/p6mt @nicolasgentis.bsky.social @alexislicht.bsky.social @cr2p.bsky.social @mnhn.fr @cerege.bsky.social

Looking for pollen, vertebrate fossils and pedogenic carbonates in Anatolia! With @benjaminraynaud.bsky.social, Paul Botté, @dispersal-erc.bsky.social

For the 30th anniversary of @cerege.bsky.social, our own Edouard Bard gave a plenary talk synthesizing the history of our lab. It's right here:

Nice day of fieldwork in the Luberon Geopark, trying to date some of their iconic fossil sites. With Pauline Coster, @benjaminraynaud.bsky.social, and many others from @dispersal-erc.bsky.social

Have you heard of @dispersal-erc.bsky.social? It's one of our ERC-funded research projects focusing on understanding the role of climate and paleogeography on some iconic dispersals of the paleontological record. Follow their bluesky for more info!

@guillaume-leduc.bsky.social, isotope geochemist and paleoclimatologist in our team, just joined us on #bluesky! Welcome!

It's Mineral Cup time again! Team #Chrysotile

Unbelievable experience with the journal Palaeo3. Our manuscript was rejected because… they couldn’t find a second reviewer, and it had been in their system “too long” (7 weeks), according to the editor. In other words, just to preserve their review-speed metrics, they rejected our submission.

Only two more weeks to register for the RST in Montpellier this October (the Geosciences meeting of the French Geological Society, occurring every two years)! rst-montpellier.sciencesconf.org Probably the most interesting Earth Science meeting in France, we highly recommend it!

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

🚨New paper Alert! 🚨 An impressive field and lab study led by @mustafayk.bsky.social, who dated and studied a high-resolution Eocene-Oligocene Transition section in northwest Turkey. (1/n) doi.org/10.5194/cp-2...

🚨Job offer 🚨 Postdoctoral position in micropaleontology opened in our team!

A short highlight on some of our paleontologist & field collaborators in Turkey! From right to left: K.Chris Beard, Faruk Oçakoglu, Grégoire Métais, and @mustafayk.bsky.social Shot in an Eocene coal mine full of endemic fossils from #Balkanatolia. Many discoveries to come soon from this site.

Have you heard of our @exoceanlab.bsky.social lab? It's a new facility for experimental oceanography -- We culture, measure, and dissolve carbonates there. Register to the account to get fresh updates from what we are doing there!

🚨New paper🚨 When studying paleoenvironments and paleogeography in Asia, at some point in your career, you have to take a stab at the India-Asia collision. Well, I just did—in a freshly published paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.gr... (1/n)

One of the delights of living in an antique Roman city: concerts at dawn in the ruins of the amphitheater.

Check the social media account of our ERC project @dispersal-erc.bsky.social focusing on past mammalian dispersals! Multiple news to come, including neat videos and field updates.

Interested in joining our team to study past mammalian dispersals? We just opened a new postdoctoral position in climate modeling to work with me and Yannick Donnadieu at @climatecerege.bsky.social. All the info here: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U... Application deadline on July 23.

End of the academic year meeting for our stable isotope platform, an opportunity for a good swim! with @r0seturqu0ise.bsky.social, @alexislicht.bsky.social and many others

🏅 Congratulations to Isabelle Basile-Doelsch, Research Director at INRAE/CEREGE, for winning an @erc.europa.eu Advanced Grant for her NanoCLICS project. Learn more about her project: www.cerege.fr/en/nanoclick...

🚨new paper alert !🚨 In this study led by Anna Musolino and multiple @cerege.bsky.social colleagues, we tortured a bunch of zircon minerals to test their processes of alteration. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... (1/n)

Our two weeks of work in the Eocene of Kazakhstan are now over. A fantastic field season, with many discoveries -- new fossil mammals, geological sections, and promising paleoclimatic archives. Many things to write down now, we'll keep you posted of our future publications!

US climate scientists need all the help they can get. Including from foul-mouthed comedians! 🤡😱😱 Watch Emmy Award-Winning David Cross team up with Prof Michael Oppenheimer in the US launch of the hit series "Climate Science Translated". #climate #arresteddevelopment #climatescience

64 paleomag core in one day! Record beaten for this field season in Kazakhstan. With @mustafayk.bsky.social and Arman Seidali. Across the Eocene Oligocene Transition, hopefully.

After several days of intense logging and sampling in northeastern Kazakhstan, we just took a day off at Lake Markakol, a mountain lake close to the Chinese border (and its massive sand dunes). Amazing landscapes and a nice spot to pick microfossils from our screenwashing residue!

For #fossilFriday, a picture of our team in Kazakhstan screen-washing sediment for Eocene microfossils!

First days of fieldwork in the Eocene of Kazakhstan, looking for vertebrate remains and paleoclimatic archives. With @mustafayk.bsky.social and many others

The best piece I have ever read on the paleontological drama that has been impacting the French academic community for the last two decades. A story of egos, ethics in academic research, and early hominids. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Still looking for a postdoc at @climatecerege.bsky.social !

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Registration for the RST in Montpellier this October (the Geosciences meeting of the French Geological Society, occurring every two years) just opened! rst-montpellier.sciencesconf.org It's definitely my favorite Earth Sciences conference and I encourage you to join if you have never attended one.

Check out our new paper on the protracted closure of the Neotethys ocean -- looking for its tectonic and geodynamic drivers, and its impact on faunal dispersal between Asia and Africa!

Amazing workshop last week in Arles, focused on how integrating geological and paleoclimatological constraints in phylogenetic and biogeographic reconstructions! 11 countries, 55 people, and 3 days of talks and brainstorming with a balanced group of biologists, geologists and climatologists.

I'm reposting this again, because we are still offering a 2-year postdoc position at @climatecerege.bsky.social and we are looking for applicants!

A good day to introduce our LA-ICP-MS facility, led by Pierre Deschamps (to the right) and Abel Guihou (to the left), where we date rocks and study their paleoenvironmental record!

📢 Today, CEREGE and other research laboratories from the Technopole de l’Arbois mobilized for research and academic freedom as part of the #StandUpForScience movement. Together, let’s defend free and independent science!

The Climate team and all @cerege.bsky.social support our numerous American colleagues today. If you feel threatened or hindered in your Climate research in the US and is interested in joining our team, contact @alexislicht.bsky.social to know more about our opportunities.

Dear US colleagues, In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France. There are several M$ in the budget. www.univ-amu.fr/en/public/ac...
