After 10 years of ambitious climate research, the Netherlands Earth System Science Centre (NESSC) has now closed.
Our legacy: over 700 peer-reviewed articles, the educational programme @TPAhead, a network of over 100 scientists!
Thank you for following!

There’s no better way to start the Christmas season by ending a decades long squabble between scientists on the extinction of dinosaurs!
A terrific NESSC article by @palaeoconnor and @FP_GDGT was just published in Science Advances!

A new NESSC paper has appeared!
Some nice work by NESSC researcher @HaettigKatrin and colleagues at NIOZ, presenting a reconstruction of Atlantic ocean water temperatures which suggests a period of cooling in the Miocene.
The paper can be found here:

The breakdown of nitrogen in rivers systems has rapidly accelerated in the 20th century, a new NESSC study by Junjie Wang and colleagues at @UUgeo shows.
These natural processes have accelerated up to three to six times.

Is the ocean a carbon sink or source? It depends, a new NESSC paper shows!
Researchers from Nanjing University, together with NESSC researchers Junjie Wang and Jack Middelburg, created the first sink or source world map.

A new NESSC study shows that groundwater with high concentrations of nitrogen will keep rivers polluted for decades.
This is a legacy of past agricultural practices in the twentieth century, when large amounts of fertilisers were used.
