It's so great to see this package (on CRAN since 2021) finally formally described in a journal! Here's to many more years of standardized, customizable, and reproducible geology data visualization! And shout out to @richardstockey.bsky.social and @lewisajones.bsky.social for years of encouragement!

Lecturer in Palaeobiology at University of Southampton ––– trying to understand how environmental change has impacted oceans and the animals that live in them through Earth's history |he/him|
Heard from a former (undergrad) student who just defended her PhD. Students: tell your old profs about your successes and achievements. It's not bragging, and we love to hear about it. It's one of the best parts of being an educator. #academicsky
See you later today for our next Lecture! 🤩

!New Paper Alert! Matrix independent and interference free in situ boron isotope analysis by laser ablation MC-ICP-MS/MS pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a.... In it we use our Neoma MC-ICPMS/MS to overcome the complexities of measuring boron isotopes by Laser Ablation in carbonates and other minerals. ⚒️🧪🌊🪸
The SCION Earth Evolution Model is turning 4 years old this spring. We have celebrated by extending the framework back to ~1 Ga before present We find some agreement with broad environmental trends from the rock record, but there is still plenty to learn! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Really sad to report that our friend and colleague Richard Fortey passed away this morning after a short battle with cancer. We’ll all miss his wit and wisdom. Here he is checking out a dino footprint we found while filming together on the Isle of Wight
🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series🚨 🗓️27th February, 16:00 UTC Next week we are looking forward to hosting Dr Xia Wang from Chengdu University of Technology, who will give a talk on “DDE-Outcrop3D: an interactive platform for digital outcrop models” Don’t miss it! Register here: bit.ly/palaeoverse-...
Over its multimillion-year history, multiple planetary cooling mechanisms working together were required to push Earth into 'icehouse' conditions and to form ice caps. See our new paper on this here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
We’d like to announce the Spring 2025 line-up of the 🚨Palaeoverse Lecture Series🚨 Don’t miss these four excellent speakers! Register for a Zoom link here: bit.ly/palaeoverse-lecture-series-2025
Strong evidence of ecosystem engineering 🪱🪸 increasing biodiversity 🎨 throughout the Phanerozoic! Really awesome work by @alisoncribb.bsky.social; I'm honored to have been involved! #ecosystemengineering #paleontology #paleobiology #rstats

Hello! 👋 We are Fossils in t'Hills, a volunteer science communication group based in Yorkshire, England! Our team are all experienced palaeontologists who have full-time 'day jobs' in museums and science education.
🚨Fully-Funded PhD Alert! 🚨 Want to join the @unisouthampton.bsky.social Leverhulme Resilience Centre? This project, supervised by me, @profjulianleyland.bsky.social and Dr Nick Dorward, explores links between sand mining, urbanisation and river-related risks: www.southampton.ac.uk/study/postgr...
New paper led by Emily Hollingsworth in Geochemical Perspective Letters. We use Raman spectroscopy to evaluate rock organic carbon oxidation during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum and assess its role as a positive feedback mechanism! (1/3) www.geochemicalperspectivesletters.org/article2444/
A very pointless & unproductive thing I did is analyze electoral durations of U.S. House Representatives. Two superficial similarities to Phanerozoic taxon durations jump out: (1) declining turnover rates through time & (2) the election of 1932 was basically the P-Tr mass extinction for Republicans.
Migrating back to the good place... and speaking of good places, why not consider coming to the University of Southampton to do a PhD in coral reef palaeoecology??! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
Not sure if #FossilFriday is a thing here, but just in case here's sunrise and sunset on a 4x4-cm landscape of brachiopods, bryozoans, and crinoid fragments from the Late Ordovician Ellis Bay Formation of Anticosti Island, Québec. Imaged with a Keyence vhx-7000.
In Nature Geoscience today, we use our community-driven consortium science approach to reconstruct a Neoproterozoic oxygenation event that may have played a role in the Cambrian radiation of marine animals but didn’t oxygenate the deep oceans www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Sustained increases in atmospheric oxygen and marine productivity in the Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic eras - Nature Geoscience
Oxygen in shallow shelf waters rose linearly with atmospheric oxygen in the Neoproterozoic era, potentially driving the first radiation of marine animals, but widespread ocean oxygenation came later, ...

Great opportunity for geo- and data scientists to work with @gernon.bsky.social here:🧪⚒️
Are you interested in paleoclimate and data-driven geoscience? We are a dynamic and diverse team in search of bright, creative scientists who think broadly about the Earth system, at both postdoctoral (spanning junior to senior) and PhD levels. (1/2)
Pleasantly surprised to see @gernon.bsky.social and colleagues research mentioned in my kids science magazine (Oyla) in their article about greenhouse gases and climate change 👍👍👍
Job alert! Are you interested in palaeoclimate over geological timescales? If so, we have an open post-doc @OxUniEarthSci on @NERCscience project, with me @ClimateSamwell @sebsteinig & others @bridge_geog Please spread the word! Deadline Feb 20th. tinyurl.com/3n8kp9c6
New paper (led by Emily Hollingsworth) in P&P assessing spatial and temporal patterns in petrogenic organic carbon mobilization during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. It's also Emily's first first-author paper - wooo! #proudsupervisor agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
