Excited to share that I was fortunate to designed the first "Geoarchaeology" course in India at Department of Applied Geology at Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad.
The course is designed for students to develop transdisciplinary thinking following National Education Policy of India 2020.

So much to think about after "Not all that glitters is green" by Verónica Zuccarelli Freire. A powerful reminder that the costs of the energy transition are not shared equally, especially in the #Andes. True climate action requires environmental justice.

Recurrent humid phases in Arabia over the past 8 million years - Nature
A climatic record from desert speleothems shows that the central Arabian interior experienced recurrent humid intervals over the past 8 million years, which likely facilitated mammalian dispersals between Africa and Eurasia.
