Evidence for millennial-scale interactions between Hg cycling and hydroclimate from Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana
Abstract. Changing hydrology impacts the biogeochemical cycling of elements such as mercury (Hg), whose transport and transformation in the environment appear linked to hydroclimate on diverse timesca...

This is one of the ways we show up for each other, to build community and strengthen our networks while. Science is an iterative, collaborative practice.
To the people reviewing right now: thank you. To the people who suggest reviewers when they can't review: thank you.

I had the pleasure of working, and publishing, with some truly ace research teams in 2024 - on topics ranging from speleothems, to volcanoes, to wildfires, to Quaternary climate change 🌍
Here are some highlights, with links in case you fancy having a read:
