Martian mud flows: a little salt makes a big difference In the northern lowlands of Mars, there are thousands of small cones thought to forme tens of millions of years ago by mud flowing from underground. Mud on the surface of Mars behaves very differently to Earth youtu.be/jqozzfqYOb4

Extraterrestrial evaporites. Samples from Asteroid Bennu yield an evaporite sequence from an ancient brine, including "sodium-bearing phosphates and sodium-rich" salts that formed during "evaporation of a late-stage brine early in the history of Bennu’s parent body" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#ThingsWithRings! Read this new @uk.theconversation.com article about some of the surprising biological archives out there, and what we can use them for... theconversation.com/most-animals... #otoliths #archaeology, #forensics #fish #sclerochronology #biochronology @universityofessex.bsky.social

A massive environmental calamity rocked the ancient Mediterranean. It took millions of years for the ecosystem to recover. hakaimagazine.com/news/for-an-...

Attention to this video by @umbamoxos.bsky.social explaining today's article in Nature providing hard evidence that the pre-Columbian Amazonia was populated by advanced agricultural societies managing the landscape for monocultures of corn with two harvests per year.🤯 youtu.be/NdV-C_t_SV0?...

This video by tilscience at IG explaining the PNAS paper that just upgraded the Miller experiment with silica to create spherical protocells and the bases needed for life startup. 1/3

COST Action SaltAges website is live and kicking off with the announcement of our 1st conference 🥳🥳🥳⬇️ 31/3-4/4/2025 Krakow, Poland sites.google.com/view/saltage...

Check out or new preprint incl. new use of otolith isotope data biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... @univie.ac.at @fwf-at.bsky.social @imares-group.bsky.social We’d love your feedback

🌟 Looking for fellowship opportunities for next year? @imares-group.bsky.social has several exciting options! Check out our offers and don’t hesitate to reach out to the respective PIs for more info.🌊 #Fellowships #MarineScience @kagiadi.bsky.social @maria-bas.bsky.social @martacoll.bsky.social

Are you curious about past ecosystems and very, I mean very extreme events? @martacoll.bsky.social @danigeos.bsky.social and I are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate who’s not afraid of challenges DM me to discuss @imares-group.bsky.social

🎓 At @IMARES_group, we offer 2 projects for the INPhINIT fellowships by @FundlaCaixaCAT! 🌊🐟 👉 Led by @MariaBas16, @kagiadi.bsky.social and @ValeSbra, focusing on innovative marine research. If you're passionate about the ocean and science, don't miss this opportunity! 🌟 #PhD #INPhINIT2025 @ICMCSIC

🔬🐟 Over the past weeks, at @imares-group.bsky.social , we’ve studied mesopelagic fish from the Mediterranean! Using stable isotopes, we analyze muscle and otoliths to reveal food webs, climate effects 🌡️, and marine connectivity. Deep-sea research goes on! 🌊 #MarineScience @ICMCSIC

Great keynote on the Formation of the Mediterranean salt giant by @danigeos.bsky.social today at the amazing grant aula of @unibarcelona.bsky.social #medgu24

Le Monde was publishing a few days ago this beautiful infographics about the biological impact of the salinity crisis in the Mediterranean.

This is behind paywall, but quite cool infographics on the MSC www.lemonde.fr/article-offe...

Yesterday's talk by @kagiadi.bsky.social in Barcelona presenting our recent trilogy on the biological impact of the Messinian salinity crisis. Introduced by @martacoll.bsky.social The impact of the Messinian Salinity Crisis on marine biota - Konstantina Agiadi www.youtube.com/live/c_7BbD8...

Geophysical and geological evidence indicate that the Mediterranean became isolated from the ocean ~5 million years ago due to the tearing of a lithospheric slab under S Spain. The dry Mediterranean climate then caused the accumulation of a km-thick layer of salt, today buried under sediment. 1/3

Project members Danai and Rosa had a blast at the @q-mare.bsky.social workshop on Crete! seafront-project.com/post/disenta...

Today I thought my student about two important things scientists do: 1) copy-pasting affiliations, and 2) reimbursements #EGU24

pre-Cenozoic global temperature changes due to orbital wobbles were more extreme than in the Cenozoic ⚒️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Proud to present my student’s first paper: Controls on long-term changes in bathyal bivalve biomass www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Come join our next meeting on Crete island, Greece 2-6 September 2024 funds still available for early-career scientists to participate pastglobalchanges.org/calendar/137...

Happy Anniversary to the awesome earth.nullschool.net 10 years and counting! An amazing project created by @cambecc.bsky.social Our home is unique and beautiful 🌎

New paper by Elwyn de la Vega, @chalkyoceans.bsky.social and lots others (including me!) testing the accuracy of boron isotopes as a proxy for atmospheric CO2. Spoiler - it looks good!! cp.copernicus.org/articles/19/...
