New paper out in Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology: We used Cenozoic-spanning marine sediments to determine whether archived grain-size sorted sediments can be resurrected for biomarker analysis.
Great to see my first piece of PhD work published, available #openaccess: doi.org/10.1029/2025...

🚨NEW PAPER OUT🚨
The anatomy of bird lower jaw bones has been understudied...until now! Here, we examine avian mandibular anatomy, answering some and raising more questions about the phylogenetic affinities of key early crown-group birds. Read on!

The power of non-destructive techniques! #2025SVP

Does anyone know if min-max normalization was ever used on environmental data to visualize contributions of variables with differing units/scales? (Or why it might not work?)
I can only find applications in machine learning 🧪⚒️

The announcement you have all been waiting for... Save the date for BOGS 2025! The 35th meeting of the British Organic Geochemical Society will be held in Bristol on the 1st and 2nd of July 2025. www.bogs2025.com #BOGS2025

🚨 My first PhD paper is out! 🚨
In it we characterise the 3D structure of medullary bone, a type of bone tissue found only in female birds and (possibly) non-bird dinosaurs.
