Why would we look 75,000 years in the past to learn something about modern droughts in the Horn of Africa? Our new paper, published today in Nature, explains why. A thread! (1/9)

Very excited that our article on the influences of climate versus long-term lake system evolution on GDGT climate proxies is out! This uses the incredible Lake Chala record with GDGT measurements from ~1000 samples. A huge effort! Stay tuned for the brGMGT story coming soon...

Does anyone have experience going from working in Overleaf to submitting the latex files to the journal Organic Geochemistry (Elsevier)??🙃 I am a little lost here.....

One monsoon system, two conflicting records: one indicating a 100,000 years cycle, the other a 23,000 years cycle. Which one represents the most accurate signal? Louise Fuchs @nesscresearch @UUEarthSciences manage to solve the riddle uu.nl/en/news/nessc-study-mi… @CommsEarth

A scientific detective story just appeared...
NESSC researcher Louise Fuchs (@UUGeo) and her colleagues (literally) dug into the scientific riddle of the East Asian monsoon.
Louise details in her own words how their work discovered the missing link!

I had a great week meeting other scientists and presenting at @ial_ipa in Bariloche! Big thanks to the organizers and to @EAG_ for giving me financial support to attend the meeting through the Early Career Science Ambassador Program. Feeling so excited about lake research!

We hope to see you mid September for another book discussion.
Take care and some time for yourself!
