I am a climate scientist, focused on paleoclimate, sea level change and the evolution of Quaternary glaciations. I reconstruct ice sheets using glacial isostatic adjustment and ice sheet modelling. In Japan but have been all over the place. 🇨🇦🇯🇵🇦🇺🇩🇪🇸🇪

Time to see if I can jerry-rig up some old Fortran code that I have not worked on in over 7 years, according to the Github. It should work fine, shouldn't it?

🧵🧪 With ongoing reductions in the funding in the US (NSF, NIH, NASA) there are calls for countries like Canada 🇨🇦 to step in to absorb US researchers and their work. However, that requires a significant commitment in resources. Funding for graduate students in the natural sciences in Canada

The Hawaiian Drowned Reefs expedition was one of the coolest things #IODP did before the program ended. Now all the site reports and core descriptions are online. (And I just need to get around to reading them) 🧪⚒️🌊 ... still sad I didn't get to join it. link: publications.iodp.org/proceedings/...

I checked to see if I had cited any of her works, and indeed I had. She published a paleo sea level curve for Vestfold.

Hello Bluesky! 👋 This is the first post from the glaciology group at @geogdurham.bsky.social - give us a follow to hear about our icy research activities and adventures! We had a mini conference today to catch up on the brilliant range of contemporary and palaeo research by members of our group! ❄️

If you are only *now* concerned about multi-metre global sea level rise from ice sheets, even at +1.5C global mean temperature rise, then you haven't been paying attention. It was in the last IPCC reports, there have been multiple studies published and policy briefs. We know it's coming. ❄️🧪🥼⛏️🌊

We interrupt your doomscrolling for a brief rant about scientific journal publishers apparently still not realizing that lots people share scientific journal articles online. Please enjoy "why do so many scientific journal articles still display weird when shared on social media? 🧪

The situation in #Sakurajima volcano is gradually becoming at the concerning level. Today Prof. Emeritus Masato Iguchi told to TV that the level of the edifice inflation right now is one of the largest since the beginning of the observation in 1985. newsdig.tbs.co.jp/articles/-/1...

Collin et al investigate the genetics of Late Pleistocene horses in North America and Beringia. One interesting finding is how the migration of horses through the "ice free corridor" between the Cordillera and Laurentide ice sheets was delayed after initial deglaciation. 🧪🦣 doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Maxwell et al investigate fossil coral reefs on Luzon Island in the Philippines to determine past relative sea level and tectonic uplift rate. They conclude that it is 1.17 mm/yr, based on analysis of the MIS 5e terrace, currently at 155 m. 🦣⚒️🧪🌊 doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...

Paleo sea level estimates from before 12,000 years ago are pretty rare. Medri et al make estimates of paleo sea level between 13.8 and 15.9 thousand years ago off the coast of central California, estimating sea level between 86-99 m below present after tectonic correction. 🦣⚒️ doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...

Alberta Premier demands @mark-carney.bsky.social build a pipeline to Prince Rupert. Besides the childish demanding, there are important marine geohazards reasons why that could be a spectacularly foolish idea ⚒️🇨🇦 calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

I’m safe, but so many of my friends’ homes and cottages are at risk and some of the most beautiful areas in Manitoba are burning. While fire is a natural part of the boreal forest, these are very large and intense and threaten so much. Rain is coming, but not fast enough.

Paper alert! 🚨 Ever wondered how ENSO contributes to Marine Heat Waves #MHVs? In the study conducted in collaboration with PhD candidate Alessandro Gagliardi (@alexgag11.bsky.social), the authors isolated the effect of ENSO in driving SST variability, including MHV extremes! doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

Four weeks ago, my first co-authored @egu.eu preprint « Reviews and syntheses: Best practices for the application of marine #GDGTs as proxy for paleotemperatures: sampling, processing, analyses, interpretation, and archiving protocols » went online! doi.org/10.5194/egus... (1/4) 🧪 ⚒️ 🌊 #PaleoSky

Fatourou et al use biological proxies to investigate the connection of the Gulf of Corinth in Greece with the Mediterranean Sea during the Pleistocene. The connection for the past 400,000 years has been through the western Rion Sill, which is currently at 60 m depth. doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...

Andersen et al investigate the in-situ cosmogenic isotopes from Gaustatoppen Mountain in southern Norway. The amount of cosmogenic isotopes in the rocks can be used to tell how long the mountain was buried by ice from the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. ⚒️🧪🦣 doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...

I have noticed lately that Google Scholar has stopped showing recommended articles on the home page. Anyone know how to bring that back? It has always been useful for me to find new and interesting articles.
