Projection of post-drought recovery of intact Amazonian rainforests after the 2023–2024 droughts. (A) Time series of annual median recovery projections after the 2023–2024 droughts. The error bars represent the medians of the lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence intervals across all pixels. (B) Spatial pattern of recovery at 7th year after the 2023–2024 droughts.

The Amazon rainforest was hit with two severe droughts during 2023–2024. Models suggest that just over half the forest will not recover within seven years, which is the maximum time between droughts in recent decades. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/BKQ150YySOw

Climate snapshots trapped in ancient ice tell a surprising story Antarctic ice cores hint that changes in the ocean might have played a larger part than have greenhouse gases in key climate shifts of the past three million years.

Really proud of @jysuarezibarra.bsky.social for his upcoming #MSCA research position with us @climatecerege.bsky.social. Not only a really exciting project to help us find out more about the climate system, but also an excellent career step for a superb young researcher.

In the latest @exoceanlab.bsky.social interview, Jaime shares how his project eCO₂-MorpH uses planktonic foraminifera to reconstruct past CO₂ and inform climate models.

Morphological change.
Habitat shifts.
Speciation.

We need to track it all if we want robust boundary conditions for modeling past climates.

My project (eCO2-MorpH) integrates morphometrics, AI and geochemistry to refine Neogene CO₂ reconstructions.

Planktonic foraminifera record seawater chemistry (δ¹¹B → pH → atmospheric CO₂).

But evolution complicates the signal.

Four days later, I think I can finally process this:

I’ve been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (#MSCA -PF 2025).

Still feels slightly unreal.

CO2-driven warming during the Pliocene can be used as an analog for present-day warming. A temperature record from a Colombian sedimentary core suggests that the tropics were 4.8 °C warmer in the Pliocene than during the late Pleistocene. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/iJ1c50YbG8B
