Final paper from my PhD now published - The climatic resilience of the Sasanian Empire. We compiled and critiqued climate-society evidence in the Sasanian Empire, finding a lack of impacts from the major 6th c. drought that was detrimental elsewhere.

I've moved over to the other place! Find me there :) bsky.app/profile/jacobs…

@RowlandHowland I was once non-consensually included (with THOUSANDS of others) in an email "debate" because someone dare mention Taiwan in a University email. I would be surprised if none of the participants were fired... That's the one time I appreciated an aggressive remove from thread mail😂

@JacobsonMJ_ “Please take me off this thread” as a reply all should require 1000 clicks

"Reply all" should require one more click to execute. "Are you sure you want to respond to all email addresses in the previous message?" I've been caught out by it before and frequently receive emails I shouldn't

New article @HoloceneJ - "Holocene hydroclimate synthesis of the Aegean: Diverging patterns, dry periods and implications for climate-society interactions" - thread coming soon :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…

@EmmCasa @LSCE_IPSL @ERC_Research That sounds like a really interesting project, congratulations!

@MustafaOzkan haha yes and often with a veiled threat about keeping to schedule!

@JacobsonMJ_ Journals: "we can send our review and decision maybe in 6 to 9 months. Also journals: "CORRECT THESE PROOFS IN 2 DAYS!" 🤦 Anyways, congrats!

Final proofs of a paper sent, hopefully it'll be out very soon!
