If you haven't yet read our @plioceneclimate review of ocean and ice sheet changes in the Pliocene and early Pleistocene, @AGU_Eos have published an overview @theAGU #AGUpubs. Cover photo taken by me in Gulf of Alaska IODP Exp. 341 @uk_iodp @TheJR

Mystery! Still looking for a better shot, but does anyone know what these green orbs are? We saw them on a few dives, mostly at 200 - 500 m depths, off the OR coast and at Axial Seamount. At first I thought they were clogged larvacean houses, but they're all perfectly circular.

Scientific ocean drilling folks! Please consider signing and sharing our letter to @NSF detailing why we need concrete commitments now to support our field given the rapidly approaching retirement of @TheJR

Kaustubh Thirumalai and I were inspired to highlight the accomplishment of @PaleoRoss et al., who’ve put a fresh coral species through its paleo-archive paces: a significant undertaking with a rich scientific history. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

July 30, 1920, birthday of American #geologist Marie Tharp. Her seafloor profiles and maps based on data collected by Bruce Heezen provided evidence that mid-ocean ridges are rift zones, supporting the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s 🌍

People often answer this with "dress timeless," but I don't think that's really the answer. A lot of guys bought tweed sport coats and oxford shoes 15 years ago and are now in totally different clothes because those styles were ultimately not them. 🧵

When those of us who work on CO₂ removal (CDR) meet, it’s apparent that no one wants to do this and no one thinks it’s easy.
It’s far easier and cheaper to stop emitting CO₂.
The fact that some of the smartest people I know decide to work on CDR signals our desperation.

Taylor makes one thing clear to supercontinent Pangaea: We are never, ever, ever getting back together
ALT MESOZOIC ERA (Taylor’s Version) 252 to 66 million years ago Pictures of a Mesozoic Era dinosaurs and the album covers of the three Taylor’s Version albums are set side by side. Under each is a list of bullet points: ⁃ Life slowly recovers from Paleozoic extinction... ⁃ …and recovers fully by end of All to Well (10 Minute Version) ⁃ Dinosaurs, birds, ferns, conifers, flowering plants emerge ⁃ Taylor revisits early work (archaea), makes it more powerful (dinosaurs) ⁃ Supercontinent Pangea breakup + mass extinction event pave way for mammals ⁃ Cuts former personal and professional ties, paves way for new projects We are never, ever, ever getting back together (said the continents as they drifted apart)

New paper in @PNASNews by @UCIrvine, @UCIPhysSci, @UCIESS researchers @paleopatt and @cavesandclimate on using a stalagmite from a cave in Vietnam to reconstruct rainfall records dating to 45,000 years ago. @UCIrvineNews. tinyurl.com/5n74ff29

#paleoceanography question? My student is busy picking forams from a #ODP core off east coast Australia. She just found this black fossil in a sample. Anyone know what it is?

As companies begin selling credits for marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in largely unregulated marketplaces, scientists must develop standards for assessing the effectiveness of removal methods.
