Hey #earthscience friends-
I’m teaching a class on cores (retrieval, processing, storage, sampling & uses) this week so I’m collecting papers:
What are your favorite/coolest studies using core data- can be rock, sediment, or ice cores! Thanks!

Made the jump here, so trying to find my paleo community again! I’m a PhD candidate at @uoft.bsky.social working on taphonomy of Paleozoic Lagerstätten, specifically the Silurian Eramosa Fm. I also focus on museum collections and anthropogenic biases that affect research conclusions. 🪱🔬⚒️🏷️
