Velkommen!

Lucky to have gotten the chance to go to URI to see her speak. Because of you!

... and will get reviews on their proposals before their 'interview'.

I've been taking the very intense @au.dk pedagogy course this semester, which has taught me the power of constructive alignment, feedback, scaffolding, and more.

I can't wait to see what the students come up with!

This semester, the students have been performing one big 'literature review', and will now put their new skills in identifying knowledge gaps to the test by writing and defending a grant proposal. They did a 'pitch session' with their classmates, sent the 'program manager' (me) a 'one-pager', ...

And that's a wrap! We finished up Cenozoic Paleoclimate in the last millennium with @kimcobb.bsky.social's coral records and @michaelemann.bsky.social's temperature compilations 📈

It is inspirational to see paleoclimatologists be politically active, standing up for what the data show. #receipts 🌡️

It was a beautiful day today at @au.dk, so we took our paper discussion outside ☀️

We’ve transitioned now to the tropics to learn about sapropels, monsoons, landscape feedbacks, threshold responses, and more! 🌱

I try not to pick favorites, but my excitement was hard to hide 🌍

In the last few weeks, we’ve gone deeper into triggers, processes, and responses of the Pleistocene, with lessons from the MPT (including a lovely virtual visit from @jfarmersalmanac.bsky.social!) and the ice core records. A highlight for me was stepping through the logic of Shakun et al 2012 🙌🏻

Supurr interesting!

To be fair, if you did become a crypto girlie, I might be convinced to buy in.

After delving into the 57-record-stack of LR04 and more, we took a little journey through time over nearly 50 years from Hays, Imbrie, and Shackleton (1976) to the new Barker et al. (2025) on distinct roles for precession, obliquity, and eccentricity the 100-kyr world. 🌐

Literally so exciting.
