Thrilled to share my invited review paper on environmental records from coral skeletons: a follow-on from Lough 2010 (talk about giant shoes to fill!). An incredibly daunting & rewarding chance to highlight a decade of advances in our field [Thread👇] wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

Cheers to Professor Jay Quade! Being elected to the National Academy of Sciences is one of the highest honors that a U.S. scientist can receive kgun9.com/news/local-news/un…

BUT rest-assured, he also finds geochemical proxies that are robust and insensitive to calcite diagenesis. Read the paper to learn more on which!

All-in-all, this work emphasizes the importance of pairwise screening of samples when studying climate variability (e.g., ENSO)--- statistical metrics that are sensitive to small changes in preservation!

Stay tuned for more on the hydroclimate record & implications for water resources in the Marshall Islands, coming next!

Using a refined method that allows screening of the same sample used for geochem, @MudithW shows that even intra-skeletal calcite with small % contribution to a sample can result in significant paleo-temperature offsets

"Spot-checking" the core for diagenesis on co-located skeleton has therefore become standard for screening for diagenesis

The impact of these seemingly "minor" features (not visible by x-ray) have been largely overlooked by traditional screening methods, which require large sample sizes and/or time-consuming methods

Found preparing for remote field work as a lactating momma challenging, so wanted to share my hot tips after a huge success & ~8L of frozen milk safely home! uathompsonlab.com/2024/03/13… #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #womeninSTEM @AcademicMamas @mamacademic @AcademicMomLife

Lactating, working momma: travel edition

Hey mommas!  Have your first postpartum work trip, sans baby, coming up?  Not sure how to handle your breastmilk and pumping while away, but determined to keep breastfeeding going? Well y…

I’m recruiting PhD students for Fall 2024 at @CUBoulderATOC! 🌊⛈️❄️🏔️ I’m looking for students interested in the interplay between forced and internal variability in the tropics using some diverse data sources— climate models, instrumental observations and paleoclimate proxies.

Our new paper on the #climate and #vegetation of the last 7 interglacials in the Peruvian Andes just came out rdcu.be/drd2e. We find that the #Holocene followed a similar trajectory to other interglacials until about 4000 years ago…an early start to the #Anthropocene!

There's nothing like trying to be cleared for scientific diving after a period of infertility and pregnancy related inactivity to make you want to burn down the f^$@# patriarchy.
