Could older planets be more habitable all because of the carbon cycle? Only one way to find out! @lithologuy @oshorttle @bjwmills nature.com/articles/s4156…

The schedule for our Cyborgs and Body Augmentation Conference is now live! See our speakers, and claim your free tickets for our event on October 28th eventbrite.co.uk/e/cyborgs-and-…

Commentary by @LewisAlcott and myself on the recent study by @RichardStockey and friends of the Late Proterozoic and early Phanerozoic oxygenation of the biosphere. @BristolPalaeo @UoBEarthScience Geobiology: When did animals develop their oxygen habit? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Call for abstracts! Body Augmentation: Possibilities of Identities and Technology in/of Video Games – October 28th Abstract deadline: Fri August 30th bstracts should be 300 words, to be accompanied with a 100 word author biography. Send to networkmultiplay@gmail.com

To address the growing issue of microplastics in the Great Lakes, we need to curb our consumption. New on the blog from @LewisAlcott and research partners. environment.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2024/07/26/to-…

Reducing plastic consumption is the only strategy that will keep microplastics out of our lakes. Read more in the new @ConversationCA article from @water_institute's #MicroplasticsFingerprinting project: theconversation.com/to-address-the…

The leaky plastic cycle needs to be fixed. The best way to fix it? Have less plastic to begin with.

In @NatureGeosci today, we use our community-driven consortium science approach to reconstruct a Neoproterozoic oxygenation event that may played a role in the Cambrian radiation of marine animals but didn’t oxygenate the deep oceans nature.com/articles/s4156…

How well do we know the Global Methane Budget? Dozens of experts weigh in. Research by @j_a_rosentreter @ResearchSCU @SCU_Australia, @Yong__Zhou @USU_WILD, @XinSun_PUtiger @Yale @YaleBiosphere @YaleEnvironment, @LewisAlcott @UoBEarthScience eos.org/research-spotl…

Two weeks until Life and Planet 2024! Please register as early as you can if you would like to come! lifeandplanet.com

Great to see this out and amazing to work as a cohort with @YaleBiosphere

My first PhD paper is now published looking into how the Earth system recovers from an oceanic anoxic event. Including a new method to consider enrichment factors in carbonates! ajsonline.org/article/118797 #anoxia #oceanicanoxicevents #OAE #tracemetals #nutrientcycling #weathering

Life and Planet 2024 registration is open!! We’re so excited to be building on the success of last year and inviting everyone interested in the coevolution of life and Earth to join us in London in July.

Registration is open for Life and Planet 2024! Talks, posters, workshops, discussion and time to connect and collaborate. Head to lifeandplanet.com to see the programme and register!

Can you recognise real vs virtual worlds? First it was Zelda, now it's @geoguessr! Check out the paper and the youtube video below! @RolfHut @samillingworth @FloodSkinner @georainbolt @EGU_GC gc.copernicus.org/articles/2/117…

Late abstracts still accepted until May 15th! Thanks for all the brilliant submissions so far!

Late abstract submission for the Life and Planet conference closes tomorrow! Get those abstracts in and join us for 3 days of excellent Earth system science 💪🏻

Job opportunity! Pls RT! 3 year post doc position in #biogeochemistry, using field + lab methods to constrain the temperature sensitivity of oxidative #weathering during deglaciation of landscapes #CO2 @OxUniEarthSci @NERCscience Get in touch if Qs! my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

TWO funded PhD projects starting this October. 1. Green Planet: phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1972-g… 2. Alternative Earths: phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1973-a… Part of a project to understand the evolution of Earth's surface environment, and planetary surface environments in general. Please apply!
