“These early herders didn’t put all their eggs in one basket,” said geochemist Dr. Kendra Chritz of UBC’s Dept of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences. Instead, they kept eating a wide mix of foods—fish, wild animals & plants—alongside livestock for at least 1,000 years. @eoas.ubc.ca bit.ly/4uqWaSG
Even after adopting cattle, early herders kept hunting and gathering
Eastern Africa’s earliest livestock herders continued fishing, hunting and gathering for centuries, which may have helped them adapt to a changing climate.

Join PhD Candidate in Oceanography Becca Beutel @bbeutel.bsky.social for her first research cruise on the La Perouse biochemical survey! Spotting whales, dolphins, squid, pteropods... sounds like a pretty great first research cruise experience, even if we agree the night shift sounds a bit scary!
My paper with Susan Allen, @jilian0717.bsky.social, @jaytcullen.bsky.social, & @tiaanderlini.bsky.social is out! We show how Pacific source waters shape property flux into the Salish Sea, and separate dynamical vs property-driven change—useful for understanding coastal conditions in a changing ocean
Water property variability into a semi-enclosed sea dominated by dynamics, modulated by properties
Abstract. The biogeochemistry of the Salish Sea is strongly connected to its Pacific Ocean inflow through Juan de Fuca Strait (JdF), which varies seasonally and interannually in both volume and proper...
