BIG CONGRATS to MSc candidate Meg who completed her final seminar on in yesterday 🥳. Over the past 9 months, she did an amazing job trialing methods to find one that actually works for (this was a huge achievement in its own right and the lessons learned will greatly benefit the broader community) 👏

🚨🚨New Paper Alert🚨🚨

We have a new paper out in Earth & Planetary Science Letters () entitled “Indian margin methane hydrate dissociation recorded in the carbon isotopes of benthic (Miliolida) foraminifera”

For meet what we can *probably* consider the oldest body of a land (until we find more, older fossils) - this is Casiogrammus. It's a millipede preserved in rocks from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 that are ~430–433 million years old.

It was entombed in that were probably at the bottom of a relatively permanent lake.

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 recent MSc graduate Karli Mylius has published her first, first-author paper - yay yay👏
Our research focused on the ingestion of by as few data exist, globally. To do this, we also collected data on particles in beach from locations where we saw the birds actively feeding in .
We studied (Vulnerable species) and (📸 credit Eric J Woehler) & found 1000s of tiny plastics in ALL of the birds and sediments we examined, no matter how remote the location.
Hooded Plovers have shorter beaks, and because of this, they feed in shallower (surface) sediments where more plastic has been shown to accumulate. Not surprisingly, their 💩 contained 32× more plastics, on average, than Pied Oystercatchers! 😳😢
We gratefully acknowledge the of lutruwita, where this research was undertaken and funding from BirdLife TAS and a generous philanthropist who directly supported both students involved in this project during the 2022 cost of living crisis.

@ionferrico also presented a poster on , about association networks based on of a time series from . In summary, very cool and exploratory stuff. Not that easy to interpret ecologically, but we're working on it

Nice walk today on the beach on Petit Manan Peninsula in Downeast Maine. Great ripples in the intertidal.

Earth Hasn’t Warmed This Fast in Tens of Millions of Years

Chemical analyses of ancient allowed scientists to put together one of the most comprehensive of the planet.

,,,They found that the planet has passed through four distinct climate phases: , , and states.
Transitions from one state to another have generally depended on changing
