Landscape reconstructions for Europe during the late Last Glacial (60–20 ka BP): a pollen-based REVEALS approach
Abstract. Vegetation change during the Last Glacial period in Europe plays a crucial role in better understanding the ecosystem dynamics response to abrupt climate change. Yet, most quantitative recon...

🌊 In 2023, oceans should’ve absorbed more CO2 due to El Niño, but they didn’t
Despite cooler tropical Pacific waters, record-high SSTs led to ~10% less ocean CO2 uptake than expected, especially in the Northern Hemisphere
Warming waters = weaker carbon sink

Unexpected decline in the ocean carbon sink under record-high sea surface temperatures in 2023 - Nature Climate Change
The ocean carbon sink strengthened in previous warm El Niño years due to reduced CO2 outgassing in the tropics. Here the authors show that the ocean carbon sink declined in 2023 despite record-high se...

One might think that Nazi crimes and palaeontology never overlapped, and yet... Have you ever wondered what happened to tens of palaeontologists & geologists in the Nazi-occupied Poland? How academics helped to bring down the fascist regime. And a curious story of Schindler-equivalent in geology. 🧵

The mangrove jingle shell lives attached to the lower leaves of mangroves! It is not actually air living, and still needs to be immersed by the tides occasionally to survive. Still, I consider it a sign of hope that the clams are working on invading our lands and it is only a matter of time. (209)

Recent @glamos.bsky.social fieldwork on the #PlaineMorte glacier by @matthias-huss.bsky.social confirms what our models had already indicated: massive ice loss caused by the August heatwave in Switzerland. Even when expected, it is still striking, and sobering, to witness a glacier in its final days
