I am 🌟stolked🌟 to be apart of this awesome session on Pacific Ocean (aka the best ocean). Submit an abstract, and join in to hear about Westerlies influence on West Antarctic ice and Hadley Cell dynamics across the Middle Miocene!
The #AGU23 *Pacific Paleoclimate Party* session conveners are delighted to announce our invited authors: 📣Dr. Adriane Lam @BinghamtonGeol 📣 📣Dr. John Chiang @UCBerkeley 📣 We can't wait to hear from them, and hope that you will join us too - start writing those abstracts!

I’m traveling today so I haven’t had a chance to post but check out my most recent paper in PNAS! I’ll post a thread with details soon but this tweet sums up one our major findings (and the implication when thinking about abrupt climate change records) nicely!
"We find that nearly one-half of foraminifer shells in a deep-sea #PETM record from the central Pacific (#IODP Site 865) are reworked contaminants." Wondering how much this #sediment mixing plays a role in the study of #hyperthermals. pnas.org/node/1034249.abstra…

My time series course notes, in development since 2016, are now available on Github as a complete distribution, with a DOI from Zenodo. Now in both Matlab and Python! Online version: jmlilly.net/courses.html Github: github.com/jonathanlilly/tim… Zenodo: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.59779… Enjoy!

(1/6) It’s official: 2021 was Earth’s 6th-warmest year on record according to NOAA and @NASA scientists. The average global surface temperature rose 1.51°F (0.84°C) above average, per findings by @NOAANCEI. bit.ly/NOAA2021GlobalClimate… #StateOfClimate

Great first day processing cores at @CSDFacility. This is for project on abrupt tree declines in Holocene with @WyClimate and @dave_m_nelson - caused by drought, fire, special interactions, or...? Thanks to @NSF !

Hey all - the American Quaternary Association (#AmQua) has just opened its call for award nominations. There are several NEW awards, and we would love to see a broad and diverse set of nominees. Here I'll briefly describe each award, new awards 1st. (1/n)

I am glad to announce: two postdoc positions are opening to work on plant/crop ecophysiology (processes relate to fluxes of water, N and C in natural and agricultural ecosystems). If you know anyone interested, please give them a heads up.

After hearing from many people who were interested in my #QGIS and #Python courses, but could not afford the online instructor-led classes - I have made all 6 courses available for free for self-study. Full material and data packages are at courses.spatialthoughts.com/

I'm desperately looking for a #remotesensing specialist who is willing to collaborate in a very interesting project to map drought-resilient #pastoralism in #Somaliland and believes spaceborne surveying of animals is not impossible! :) @ILRI @MAXAR
