Our new paper presenting a glacial/deglacial stalagmite record from Madagascar is now out in @AGU_Paleo! If you are interested in tropical climate variability and the impacts of high-latitude meltwater forcing, then this one is for you

Kicking off the new year with a 📣New Paper📣in
@AGU_Paleo, led by Alexander James at USC, with @junhu_climate, @StellarGeay, @junglecave and others. In it we explore whether we can find regime changes in the Holocene Asian Summer Monsoons. We can for 8.2, but 4.2 falls short.

The poleward displacement of the ITCZ this fall is evident in a year over year comparison of vegetation greenness over Africa.

🚨 New paper alert! Our ultra high resolution gas measurements show that atmospheric CO2 jumped by as much as 14ppm in 50 yrs during Heinrich Stadials. Where did it come from? 👀 We can't say for sure, but the stable isos in ice point to the Southern Ocean pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

And finally, we can announce that the final version of the SISALv3 database and paper are published! 🎉 Paper in ESSD gives lots of context and synthesis of what is included. We look forward to seeing the DB in use. @PAGES_IPO essd.copernicus.org/articles…

A belated but very exciting update: our newest database SISALv3 is out! paper in preprint at ESSD: essd.copernicus.org/preprint…
Besides a significant update to the number of d18O and d13C records, we also have newly added trace element data. Please share and comment!

In #SouthernAfrica, #ElNiño induced poor seasonal rainfall & an extended dry spell in February & March resulted in crop failure across parts of the center & north, threatening production outcomes & raising concerns for food security. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org @climatehazards

1/5 Out today in @EGU_HESS: new paper summarising Australian multi-year droughts in model simulations of the last millennium.
tl;dr natural variability in Australian rainfall could bring 20 year droughts.

Check out in our new paper how anthropogenic forcing is increasing droughts in mid-east Brasil, which was recorded in isotopes and trace elements in speleothem and cave monitoring data #uni_tue #caves #paleoclimate #isotopes

LGM caused much harsher climate conditions in high altitudes compared to lowlands in the Caucasus. We show that changes in seasonal precipitation and vegetation were spatially diverse allowing for the formation of refugia.

Had a blast teaching high schoolers climate science with @TigerBenjamin at MIT Splash @espmit this morning. The students had fun handling paleoclimate archives and playing with the @IPCC_CH interactive atlas!

New paper by Tao Li on deglacial ice melt in West Antarctica. Using uranium isotopes in deep sea corals we find a unique fingerprint of subglacial discharge from 15.4-14.0 ka - coincident with a pulse of ice rafting & rapid global sea level rise 🪸🧊🌊 rdcu.be/dqWG0 🧵
