It's #FieldworkFriday !

Fieldwork at Brady's Beach near Bamfield Marine Lab, west side of Vancouver Island, Canada. You can see the white rope at the base of the photo, in the process of being set up to record a transect of intertidal organisms attached to the rock.

It's #FossilFriday !

Devonian Desquamatia sp. brachiopod from the Givetian of Iowa, USA encrusted by Aulopora sp. coral and unidentified bryozoans.

A mammoth tooth fragment dredged from the bottom of the North Sea.

We know climate grief, but now we face a new grief: science loss.

We not only feel the grief from our research, but also the loss of colleagues who stood with us.

We grieve for the increase in future deterioration of our Earth.

We grieve over the work we will have to do.

#ClimateChange 🧪🌎

Thank you, whoever created this.

Climate change and global warming are behind more frequent and intense forest fires.

People on the front lines of fighting fires and fighting climate change are under attack.

Thank you, fire fighters and climate change fighters.

#FossilFriday !!!

Let go of your troubles and worries and appreciate this special little fossil.

Brachiopod in a core sample, tangential cross section, the shell is unfilled, and the lophophore supports (spiralia) are recrystallized.

Middle Devonian, Keg River Formation, Alberta, Canada

#FossilFriday on Saturday...aligned pores from original cryptalgal porosity in tidal flat carbonate laminae. Core, over 250 m deep, Keg River Formation, northern Alberta, approx. 385 million years old (early Givetian, Devonian).

2024 was the warmest year on record. Is it an outlier? Is it the harbinger of accelerated global warming, in other words, warming greater and faster than expected? Figure from article (Tollefson, 2025) in Nature, original paper in Science, Goessling et al., 2024:
