My PhD work on foraminiferal acclimation was published in @Nature. Our study shows that modern warming is threatening planktic foraminifera differently than before. URL: nature.com/articles/s4158…

🌟Excited to share that my paper has been published in Climate of the Past! 📝We unveiled global dust emissions over the entire Phanerozoic (the last 540 million years) and determined that palaeogeography is the main driver of the variations. cp.copernicus.org/articles/20/25…

Tiny oceanic plankton adapted to warming during the last ice age, but probably won’t survive future climate change – new study bit.ly/3CoMRwv

@george_hoppit Great thanks George!!

Huge congratulations to Rui, getting his PhD work from Bristol published in Nature

@BristolUni @cabotinstitute full-text access to the paper: rdcu.be/dZ5H1

⏰A Bristol-led study has shown plankton is unable to keep pace with the current speed of temperature rises, putting large groups of marine life, that depend on this organism for food, in danger. 🐟 👉 brnw.ch/21wOBv8 @cabotinstitute #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange

@Nature This paper is a collective effort of @OceanFMonteiro @MalinOdalen, Jamie D. Wilson, and Daniela N. Schmidt.

@Nature Our research overall shows that human-driven global warming is influencing the natural capacity of plankton acclimation in the long geological history. This is concerning given the continously growing CO2 concentration.

@Nature Another important factor is the rate of warming. Modern warming is so fast that ocean stratification occur quickly. Also, too fast change could influence plankton’s life cycle, which is the foundation of acclimation and adaptation.

@Nature This contrast is due to the difference in food availability, which is vital in compensating for the increasing metabolic cost under high temperatures. Food availability is decreasing under modern warming due to stratification, unlike the increased upwelling since deglaciation

@Nature However, when we project the model into the future, this thermal niche shift is more limited than in the past.

@Nature We investigated foraminiferal niche in the last ice age and preindustrial day using both global fossil data and trait-based ecosystem model. We found that some foraminifera could acclimate to geological warming, and our newly developed model can capture this thermal niche change.

Thanks to my advertisement, the downloading static of cgeniepy hits 3K/month!

For all cGENIE users, I have developed and published a Python package (cgeniepy, joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110…) that might help you read and visualise the Netcdf/time series data. Find out more in the documentation and I welcome any advice to improve!

@JamesMulqueeney Congrats James! I admit I was shocked when I saw Chinese in the Abstract 🤣

New review paper on using AI to analyse Evolutionary Morphology is officially out! Was great to part of a large collaborative team writing this. academic.oup.com/iob/article/6/…

Functionalities: 1. read in cGENIE data (both timeseries and timeslices) including ensemble model and multiple variables 2. read in observational data including those downloaded from Pangaea (*.tab) 3. model-data comparison such as searching the nearest data point given location

Huge congratulations to our Professor Dani Schmidt for winning this prestigious award from @GeolSoc!

@HCNg_Bris niubi!

DELIGHTED to share our new publication showing how glacial detritus can support seasonal growth of micro-algae off an Arctic coast! There are important implications for future Arctic ecosystem changes, given the ongoing widespread glacier retreat. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Cool article in @Nature on the fundamentally geological nature of the global biodiversification: "...biodiversity is strongly reliant on landscape dynamics, which ...determine the carrying capacity..." cc: @niles_eldredge @CoelhoPre @Trilolight @svalver nature.com/articles/s4158…
