🌊 Ancient “burps” of CO₂ ago triggered ocean anoxia, killing bottom‑dwelling life. Today’s CO₂ surge is happening faster, raising the risk of repeating deadly marine events. Using Scripps FAQs, @discovermag.bsky.social dives deeper into this topic. ⬇️

Now published in @agu.org Geophysical Research Letters! What happens to marine archaea when they’re hungry? And what does that mean for the TEX₈₆ paleothermometer? Full paper here: doi.org/10.1029/2025... Thanks to my coauthors and mentors for their support — and stay tuned, more is coming!

Surely this can't be a surprise to anybody... UK temperatures could reach 45°C, according to the Met Office. The risk of temperatures hitting 40°C has nearly tripled since 2000, with a 50/50 chance of reaching that mark within the next 12 years. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

66 million years ago, an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs - and a lot of marine life too! Bivalves (mussels, scallops and co.) barely hung on but eventually bounced back. Discover why studying this mass extinction could help today's species survive the Anthropocene 👇 www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

As a kid/teen in the 90's-early 00's, Walking With Dinosaurs was THE piece of media that sparked my fascination in palaeontology & using rocks/fossils to reconstruct ancient environments (more so than those movies). It remains a benchmark in how to bring the geological record to life on screen.

I guess I'll just continue to beat this drum until it's through everyone's head - warming (as a response to things like changes in CO2) is not uniform across latitudes! Not in models, not in reconstructions of Earth's past, or observations. 🧪⚒️ Link: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

This is a great visualization of something terrible, a climate tipping point. This shows how a rainforest can tip into rapid deforestation with longer droughts, as global warming worsens. Similar tipping points can cause changes in corral reefs, permafrost, ocean currents, and ice sheets 👇

I am first-gen (and I think fair to say reasonably successful in my field), and I think one thing that helped a lot was having supervisors, both in undergrad and PhD, who were also first-gen. Still it was a mountain of bullshit, and it still is, but if it helps anyone like me: It gets easier.
