What the world's coastlines must have been like during the #PETM Apectodinium acme ~56Ma 🦠🦠🦠

"Harmful algal blooms display range expansion and increased frequency in coastal areas since the 1980s in response to both climatic and non-climatic drivers such as increased riverine nutrients run-off." 🧪 Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1568988319302045​

A harmful algal bloom offshore of San Diego County, California. Many people use the term “red tide” to refer to harmful algal blooms, but not all HABs turn the water red. Blooms may appear in a variety of colors depending on the species of algae involved – and some HABs have no color at all. (photo by Kai Schumann)

Ditto for paleoclimate. You only have an exciting ‘big picture’ story by amalgamating lots of little ‘parochial’ studies (often that couldn’t attract significant external funding), running some pretty models, and submitting it to Nature. Please recall that the next time you are on a grants panel.

Your big data is only a big data set because a whole bunch of people did the insignificant, unworthy of your time, not important enough to publish, effort to build & maintain collections over the years, which you then scooped up into your dataset for a proper "big picture" study. <6/n>

Grateful to see that Anubhav's research (Kaur, @amjukar.bsky.social et al.) featured @nature.com #India News—v nice article by Sahana Ghosh: "Inside an extinct hyena’s prehistoric pantry" #Pleistocene #paleoclimate #paleoecology 🔨 www.nature.com/articles/d44...

Inside an extinct hyena’s prehistoric pantry

Chemicals in the fossils of the hyena’s prey help palaeontologists reconstruct the mosaic landscape it inhabited.

🚨📜🚨 What did the western Siwalik landscape look like ~1.2 million years ago? Led by A.P. Kaur, we (+@amjukar.bsky.social et al.) have a new paper out using #fossil teeth from the Haro River Quarry—a hyena den—to reconstruct #mammal diets & #vegetation during the early #Pleistocene 🦷 🌾 🔨 (1/4)

Map of South Asia showing the Haro River Quarry in northern Pakistan, alongside nearby Pleistocene sites and modern rainfall patterns; adjacent stratigraphic and magnetic-polarity records locate the fossil bone bed at about 1.2 million years ago.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

As our climate changes, risks like wildfires are becoming more prevalent in places like Scotland Back in 2021, I took part in events organised by Edinburgh Science Festival and Edinburgh Geological Society on How will climate change affect Scotland: youtu.be/6OEvFWtdCDs?...

Excellent photo that shows the problem with Holyrood Park. It's the gorse, not the grass, that burns. Not enough resources to properly deal with the gorse. So this will happen again and again with all the attendant costs and implications for wildlife and human health.

As history shows, universities must adapt to a changing world – or die The institutions that transformed the modern world face existential threats from AI, political hostility and their own inertia, says Geoff Mulgan www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/hist...
