Global and regional Pleistocene benthic δ18O stacks with a comparison of different age modeling strategies Abstract. Constructing accurate age models for Pleistocene marine sediments is crucial for our understanding of glacial-interglacial cycles and other climatic processes. Benthic foraminiferal δ18O sta...

A suite of benthic δ18O stacks intended as updates to the LR04 has been published. We compiled new data, updated the chronology, and provided regional stacks. gchron.copernicus.org/articles/8/8...

Paleotemperatures through the Phanerozoic and the variation of measurement densities through time.

I'm glad to share our new study on the nature of distributions of gaps in empirical geochronologies of geological section as a function of time scale. Measurements of proxies are highly uneven if measured through time.

Contrasting evolution of the Arabian Sea and Pacific Ocean oxygen minimum zones during the Miocene - Communications Earth & Environment The Arabian Sea and eastern tropical Pacific oxygen minimum zones were better oxygenated during the warm Miocene, but with regional complexities, according to analysis of trace elements and nitro...

🚨New paper out with @alexauderset.bsky.social! We show that the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) was better oxygenated during the warm Miocene Climate Optimum than today, but its path to full deoxygenation was slow and complex.

Calling all Palaeoanthropology Researchers to please check whether this "Fast Fact" in my kids' book lines up with the beginning of human origins and Palaeolithic populations

So... somehow @oscarsproject.bsky.social funded our project! 🎉

FAME - A new open science Framework for spatio-temporal Analysis of Marine Ecosystems. Basically: making marine SDMs easier, FAIR, and slightly less painful.

Huge thanks to @mgraziapennino.bsky.social and @imares-group.bsky.social

Congratulations!!!!

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago. The quantity and diversity of marine reptile and amphibian fossils show that these groups had already radiated into complex oceanic ecosystems by ~249 million years ago.

Fig from Guo et al 2023, showing how brachiopod diversity crashed around 250 million years ago after peaking during the Permian, while bivalves show a slow steady increase over the record, except for one small crash in the end-Cretaceous extinction

Brachiopods once were the dominant invert group, but after the Permian-Triassic extinction, bivalves began to run the show. There are 100s of brachs alive, but >20,000 species of bivalves by some counts! Brachs to me are the elves of invert paleo. A noble race reminding us of a better age. (302)

The Greenlandification of Antarctica | Nature Geoscience Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

Incidentally, the very nice schematic of cryosphere changes over both ice sheets was drawn by @jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social Tak! 🙏

Ocean stratification in a warming climate - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment Ocean stratification — density-related layering of seawater — influences oceanographic and climatic processes. This Review outlines observed and projected changes in stratification, noting a 0.8% dec−1 increase in 0–2,000 m stratification from 1960–2024, and a further 1.4% dec−1 increase by 2100 under SSP2-4.5.

🌊 Ocean stratification has increased since the 1960s, rising 0.8%/decade due to warming, with projections of up to 2.9%/decade by 2100 depending on emissions

Impacts: reduced vertical mixing, altered heat and carbon uptake, intensified cyclones, and ⬆️ ecosystem stress
