🚨New paper out with @alexauderset.bsky.social! We show that the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) was better oxygenated during the warm Miocene Climate Optimum than today, but its path to full deoxygenation was slow and complex. Link to paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I'll have more info in a few weeks when I get back from fieldwork but I'll be recruiting 2 graduate students to begin in 2026 (1 PhD, 1 MS). My lab investigates macroevolutionary dynamics using phylogenetic methods & the fossil record. Please share with students having strong research interests!

In this paper, we present new global calibrations for the I/Ca proxy for ocean oxygenation, with the first Pacific transect. By comparing data from planktonic foram species that live at different water depths, we gain a better understanding of the proxy and its relationship to O2 #paleoceanography

Hugely proud of @sgavirneni.bsky.social for his first paper published last week in Paleobiology. With Linda Ivany, we linked marine #bivalve #extinction risk to adult resting metabolic rate (both whole-body total and mass-specific) over the past 300 million years... [1/5] doi.org/10.1017/pab....

Around extinction events, the shape of shells of certain groups becomes simpler. It's a sort of austerity measure to reduce the energy cost associated with producing a shell. Might be something we need to keep an eye out for in marine organisms now. 🧪🌊 Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
