A workshop group learning about the integration of speleothem data from SISAL into the Neotoma Paleoecology Database. People are arranged around a square table, while the presented talks.
Really exciting to see the SISAL and speleothem community working with @neotomadb.bsky.social to improve a whole-environment understanding of the past! #kr10 #paleoecology #paleoclimatology
I think this work would be really interesting to do with @neotomadb.bsky.social. We have site locations and linked publications through the database. Let me know if you’re interested support!
Great talk by @pickeringrobyn.bsky.social at #kr10 talking about issues of neo-colonialism in karst & speleothem research. Includes this cool paper looking at volcanology: doi.org/10.30909/vol... @pages-ipo.bsky.social
Just saw this really cool paper using paleoecological data to discuss conservation issues around settlement in Madagascar.
Good pollen, great multiproxy #palaeoecology #paleoecology

A plot of Neotoma sample sites from Africa plotted using R. Each sample site is represented by a single circle on a graph of latitude by longitude. The point cloud generated by these sites looks like the continent of Africa.
It's a small thing, but thanks to all the African researchers who have been contributing records to the African Pollen Database, the plot of African data in Neotoma now actually looks like Africa. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! #paleoecology #pollen #APD

A picture of the opening slide for the Karst Record 10 meeting. A lecture hall filled with happy and excited people.
Excited to be representing @neotomadb.bsky.social at the #kr10 karst and speleothem meeting in Cape Town, South Africa! Looking forward to learning more about speleothems!
Now Christopher Kinsley talking about Curaçao stalagmites and the IBIS Bayesian approach for age-depth models in U-Th dating. Learning lots about how we need to modify our age modeling tables in @neotomadb.bsky.social! #kr10 @pages-ipo.bsky.social @pickeringrobyn.bsky.social
Really excited for #KR10 in Cape Town! Cant wait to show everyone the work Socorro Dominguez and @sjgoring.bsky.social have been doing to get the SISAL database integrated with all the other amazing resources in the database.
@akthom.bsky.social is Andrea, just did a bad job of searching her handle.
New op ed estimating the replacement value of community curated data resources and "long tail" data they contain by me, Jack Williams, @sjgoring.bsky.social and Jessica Blois. We've been working on this for a while, and it now feels both timely and out of date: eos.org/opinions/the...
Thanks to Andrea Thomer, @iceageecologist.bsky.social, and Jessica Blois for showing the value of Neotoma. $1.5 billion in replacement cost. The critical role of community curated data resources in @agu.org’s @eos.org : eos.org/opinions/the...

Great to see these papers going up! Congratulations Simon! A new constituent database in @neotomadb.bsky.social, published in @codata-isc.bsky.social's Data Science Journal. Looking forward to more of these in the future! #FAIR #CARE #pollen @annikaherbert.bsky.social @anu-chl.bsky.social

Exciting to see more #paleoecology talks in #spanish by the LAPD & @neotomadb.bsky.social group! @geolatinas.bsky.social
So much stuff going on! We’re getting ready to finish uploading a database of European ostracodes, building tools to work with #speleothem researchers around the world, and getting ready to meet a fantastic group of #aeDNA folks for one of our next grants. Neotoma really is one big packrat midden!
Awesome! Cant wait to see how it goes!
