We have a new paper out in @PNASNews today utilizing phosphate oxygen and clumped isotopes to infer endothermy in extinct megatooth shark, Otodus megalodon. @SoraLKim @ClumpedIsotopes @RobinTrayler @JM_McCormack @aakhtar12 @wpunj_edu

New #ScienceCommunication website blog from me. Here, I look at another recent #megalodon study that used zinc isotopes to find that megalodon wasn't just a whale killer (art by Alberto Gennari); but probably ate whatever it wanted!

That's just one of many instances of distortion and misinformation in the US Department of Energy "Critical Review on the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions".
Which in fact is a fossil fuel propaganda scam.
Let's hope Americans are not that easily fooled.

Our piece in @ConversationEDU today:
As US climate data-gathering is gutted, Australian forecasting is now at real risk theconversation.com/as-us-climate-…
And it's not just Australia that will lose out. Forecasting all around the world will be set back decades if these cuts go through.

Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found. 👇👇👇🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out this important new study by the wonderful @paleopatt out today!

Out today in @NatureComms! We show that correcting a stalagmite oxygen isotope record for the effects of prior calcite precipitation (PCP) improves agreement with regional records and climate models. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excellent @CarbonBrief article by @VTCoop and @karmour_uw discussing their recent paper finding that new estimates from the last glacial maximum suggest that high climate sensitivity (>4C per doubling CO2) may be less likely than previously thought: carbonbrief.org/guest-post-ice…

Fohlin’s husband, John Latting, is the Emory Dean of Admissions. This is going to be an interesting night in @EmoryUniversity’s top administrative echelons.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

In our new paper, we investigate diet-tissue and tissue-tissue zinc isotope fractionation in gilt-head seabreams and discuss the implications for ecological studies using this new dietary proxy. @Klervia_Jaouen @BourgonNicolas @Theo_Tacail and more.

Back from an amazing couple of weeks attending a @PEMSEA workshop and conducting fieldwork in the Philippines. Made new friends, established future collaborations, and visited some caves!

After 10 years in the sciences, my first ever paper just got published I was fortunate enough to be a co-author on (led by the awesome Molly Karnes and @SoraLKim)!
Some cool highlights (1/5)

Just out, a 66 million year history of atmospheric CO2. Key take away: CO2 hasn't been at today's levels for at least 3 million years. These high CO2 worlds in the geological past had less ice and *much* higher sea levels 📈🌊 #COP28 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
