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👇]

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!
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!

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.
@DaviesswPhD @jess_carilli @coralsncaves @IRockClimate & so many other badass women in scientific diving: let's rebuild it in our own image 💪🧜♀️
All ideas welcome!
For more on how we can use corals to study past climate changes, including for this exciting new work out in @NatureGeosci, check out the @UArizonaNews piece:

Today in @NatureGeosci, a culmination of NINEish years of hard work by 40+ people, lead by the indefatigable @other_rock
Iso2k is the source of & inspiration for some of my best science, and definitely the source of some of my favourite science people.
