I think you mean southeast Iceland ;)

‼️New paper alert ‼️
We combined 16S amplicon sequencing and brGDGT analysis to look for correlations between microbial communities in water intubations. Our work also takes advantage of the latest studies in brGDGT producers to strengthen our findings using a bit of bioinformatics.

5 years ago...when we couldn't get into the lab due to COVID, I started compiling an Icelandic Ice Sheet geochronology database. Whelp, it's finally open for discussion on ESSD. Looking forward to see what we can collectively do with this: essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... 🧪
New discussion paper just dropped that’s taken shall we say a little work to get this far … essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... please be kind. Not on an at all sensitive topic in the slightest.
Would love to get involved!
Calling all Quaternary Geochronology enthusiasts! I'm serving as a Guest Editor for @natureportfolio.nature.com (Scientific Reports) upcoming special issue and would be excited to see your submission. Learn more about the collection and how to contribute👇

To Greenlanders: thank you for years of friendship and partnership; we stand with you. Qujanaq, ilagaasi.
U.S. scientists: Write your reps in D.C. TODAY. Urge them to support Greenland's right to self-determination. Insist the U.S. engage respectfully and peacefully with our ally. bit.ly/3LjITdm
I’m interested! Will follow up by email.
New paper alert ! 🙂
Happy to share our new study published in The Cryosphere !

We modelled the evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet from the LGM (24 ka) to the present and learned a lot on its former history and dynamics !

We're hiring! I'm recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in climate & paleoclimate modeling of the tropical Americas. Come obsess over the tropical rain belt with me! :) Please share w/folks who may be interested. Ad here: wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...
Congrats, great to see this progress - let’s do some lipids!
Huge paper for the Arctic Ocean published today in @science.org - a new 30,000 year history of Arctic Ocean sea-ice cover reconstructed from the accumulation of cosmic dust-derived helium-3! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/n)

Not sure if I’m supposed to promote my work as a furloughed government employee, but our paper comparing vegetation communities of the now-submerged central Bering land bridge and modern (Holocene) Bering Sea islands, with implications for the timing of sea-level transgression, is out!
miriamcjones.bsky.social et al.’s #newarticle on Bering Land Bridge (BLB) climate & vegetation during the Last Glacial Maximum shows Bering Sea island vegetation communities reflect the timing of their isolation from the BLB with sea level transgression: doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2025.2557062
It definitely piqued my interest to see Clark et al's reconstruction of sea level for the past 4.5 million years, something I first heard about several years ago. However, upon reading it, I am very surprised that this was published. 🧵 1/11

Earth scientists Maggie Osburn and Mia Tuccillo bag up plant samples in a rocky Greenland landscape, with an iceberg-spotted fjord and glacier-covered mountains in the background.
New paper! PhD student Mia Tuccillo has uncovered another big impact of past warming in Greenland: lakes lost oxygen for thousands of years and cyanobacteria took over 🦠 🧪 🦠. It's kinda yikes...

🚨 New paleoclimate proxy paper from a team of INSTAARs, working with colleagues from UC Santa Cruz & U of Iceland. 1st author David Harning now works with CIRES & NOAA, but remains an INSTAAR Affiliate. Congrats all! 👏🏽
New paper on ancient DNA and lipids from Icelandic lakes. This one threw some unexpected results and now has me thinking a lot about lake oxygen’s role in organic matter preservation, the climate proxies derived from them, and past methane cycling. #Paleosky www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I'm looking for a driven PhD student to join us at @au.dk and to both generate new paleoclimate data in the lab and work on computational problems to understand climate relationships across timescales.
Get in touch if you'd like to hear more, and apply by Nov 1!
