Last week, we successfully cored Tingstädeträsk on Gotland, Sweden, site of the famous Bulverket, the remains of a medieval bulwark. As part of the MEMELAND project (memeland.no), we will use #sedaDNA to unravel the ecological history and human impact in the area. Photos by Peter d'Argnan

🧪 calling deep water drill core paleo people! I'm searching for a "nice", ca. 3m long section of a drill core - spanning at least 100k years - visibly layered - somewhat ok studied (hyperthermals? Eocene?) - preferable #IODP / #ODP / #DSDP for a "science dry run" for visitors at a museum.

What?! Paying people for their labor works? I’m shocked! Shocked!

Why paying peer reviewers works, according to a journal’s editor-in-chief

A biology journal which paid peer reviewers found that the approach cut the time to a first editorial decision by 85% and maintained high-quality reviews.

Beautiful field-day to the Steindalsbreen Glacier 90min away from Tromsø with @arcecogen.bsky.social. Enjoying this breath-taking Nature, we were discussing the shocking retreat of the glacier, upcoming proposals, local flora and geology (plus some sampling for genome projects!).

After 23 days and 16 lakes in Sweden, Denmark, and Northern Germany, we brought back >50 m of cores for the MEMELAND ERC project (memeland.no) Stay tuned for large-scale landscape ecology using sedaDNA from the Middle Ages and onwards

After 3 days of driving south, we finally got to start coring. MEMELAND Fieldwork Day 1 started off with great weather Southern Sweden.
