Syp is made for extremes. Collect water via gravity feed or pump with continuous T, RH and P sensing and fill times. waikatoscientific.com

It's so satisfying to see researchers build unique and invaluable data sets with the help of Syp 💚 @SebHoepker @wegeochem

Ahoy, folks! Applications are now OPEN for the 2025- Summer School on Speleothem Science (S4)! 📅 When: 21-26 October 2025 📍 Where: Morocco Early bird applications are open until *May 15, 2025*! 👉 Learn more and apply here: speleothemschool.com

@OlaKwiecien3 Frohes Neues euch! Hope to catch up soon :)

The 2024 brought us some losses, a lot of changes and plenty of good memories! Like this one, from our summer holiday camping in Germany. Focus on the good things in life! Team Pebble wishes you all the best in 2025! ☺️🥂🎉

Syp has been pioneering remote water sampling since 2020. Since then our early-adopters have had remarkable successes, but also setbacks as we've learned Syp's limits. We're pleased to announce that we've been taking our learnings from these early deployments, and are now in production with Syp MkII. We are aiming for the first MkII deliveries next month. Syp MkII features: > longer battery life and a new water-proof Li-ion rechargeable battery > additional water proofing, fully-sealed connectors and IP65 rated electronics, including new buttons To our partners around the world: thanks for pushing the limits of what we can learn, in places never before possible. We're also aiming to offer a refurbishment option to bring our fleet of Syp MkI units up to MkII specs. More soon! waikatoscientific.com

A sad day for earth science in New Zealand. More than 10% of the jobs to go at GNS Science, the national research institute for earth science. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

Very excited and grateful for this opportunity!

@OlaKwiecien3 @SFMBreitenbach @NUGeog @LeverhulmeTrust Wow!! Like clouds above!

Look at the caves #IsoPerm team has explored in-depth! Stunning! And very cold too ❄️🧊. We have got some great material which will help us reconstructing #permafrost dynamics in the past! 🙂🇲🇳 @SFMBreitenbach @NUGeog @LeverhulmeTrust #caves #Mongolia

So cool when science comes to life! The theory: tiny magnetic particles (trapped in cave carbonates) mark extreme flooding in the past 🧐 The practice: deploy magnetic collectors in cave stream.. 🤞 The result: check out those beauties! 😍

@LachnietMatthew Very cool, pop by the Waikato sometime for some caves! @wegeochem

Next adventure starts as we get set up in Auckland! Thanks to the New Zealand and US Fulbright associations, UNLV, and my hosts at NIWA for the support. I’m thankful for the opportunity to promote cultural and scientific exchanges with Aotearoa New Zealand. And, volcanics!

@mon_ska1 @royalsociety @NorthumbriaUni Congrats Monika, that's awesome!!!

It’s official! I’m delighted to be have been awarded a @RoyalSociety university research fellowship based at @NorthumbriaUni to lead a long term project on #drylands and #climatechange and past climates #pliocene #miocene #paleoclimate

Available: PhD positions for Australian domestic students on coral-microalgae genomics, genetic engineering & hybridisation. Send me an email if interested. Start early 2024. Scholarship application @Macquarie_Uni. Collaborators are @dorkyM @spectacularia @BriarLlo @MattRNitschke

@DAAD_Germany @educationnz The exchange aims to improve our analytical methods and interpretations of trace metals included in cave carbonates, which we use to study past hydroclimate.

Thanks so much for hosting, we're looking forward to your visit to NZ and another exchange next year! Hugely grateful for this opportunity funded through the PPP mobility agreement between @DAAD_Germany and @educationnz 🙏🇳🇿🇩🇪

What a start to my research fellow role with @wegeochem and @waikato! I spent a fantastic month in August/September with @swinnnyy and Aaron Mielke at @UniHeidelberg, working on speleothem trace metal measurements and method development 🔬🔍🙂

@paleopatt @cavesandclimate @LabajoPahl @AnnabelWlf @uciess Congrats Elizabeth, awesome news! :)

Life update! I defended my dissertation last week. A huge thank you to my advisor (@cavesandclimate), group members, collaborators, friends+fam for all of their support along the way.

@LevanTielidze @MonashEAE @MonashIce @saef_arc @AMacGlac Congrats and all the best!

Goodbye Aotearoa/NZ 🇳🇿and thank you for all the great adventures and wonderful friends❤️Now looking forward and very excited to start a new position at @MonashEAE @MonashIce @saef_arc lead by brillian @AMacGlac and colleagues at Australia's largest Monash University😊🇦🇺

Nothing like changing 58 vials in 4C air. Please let me know if you found the feeling in my fingertips... because I lost it. Plus side - the Syp chugged along for 6 lonely months sampling 31 (?!) atmospheric rivers over the Sierras. See you in a year Syp, you know what to do.

@Geo_Juv Include optional fingertip warmer in the next design - noted! Great news :) @wegeochem @WaikatoLink @SFMBreitenbach
