We are really pleased to announce a super-exciting opportunity for a 2-year postdoc to work understanding changes in latitudinal temperature gradient in Earth’s past history. More info and apply here: jobs.ac.uk/job/DLB419/sen…

Nature Geoscience piece: "Ocean drilling makes for more robust climate modelling of the future" nature.com/articles/s4156… . Data from IODP and other sources is essential for evaluating climate models under extreme conditions. Jiang Zhu @NCAR_Science , RIchard Wood @metoffice .

📢📢PhD position available!! 📢📢 "A unified approach to multiple timescale climate, sea-level, and coastal change projections in the UK" For more info, and how to apply, see here: noc.ac.uk/gsnocs/project…

🌟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…

Ever wondered how giant Miocene crocodylians (e.g. Purussaurus and Mourasuchus) attained such large sizes? In this new paper led by PhD student @paiva_als, we show that climate of the Western Amazonian region played a key role! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Follow the thread 🧵 👇

Currently at Nanjing University, visiting collaborators, including Junxuan Fan, at the School of Earth Sciences and Engineering.

Currently working at @NCAR_Science ...not a bad view from my office window...and not bad hikes too!

Paleoclimate data provide constraints on climate models’ large-scale response to past #CO2 changes! Read more at Lunt et al.! nature.com/articles/s4324… @ClimateSamwell

New paper led by Dan Lunt (@ClimateSamwell) in @CommsEarth that highlights the benefits of using the paleoclimate record in the model development and evaluation cycle, in particular for screening models with too-high or too-low climate sensitivity.(tinyurl.com/yz798rbh)

20yrs ago Valdes moved to Bristol and our climate/biochemistry group (BRIDGE) was born. We celebrated our anniversary by bringing back many of our alumni. I love co-leading the group with @OceanFMonteiro - life is a lot of fun when you have such friendly and exciting colleagues❤️

Really pleased for Freya Bennett, who just won an award from the @RGS_IBG for her undergraduate dissertation at @GeogBristol, on ENSO variability in deep time - congratulations to her!! She found some super-interesting changes in ENSO strength as a function of paleogeography.

New paper out! doi.org/10.1144/SP549-… Everything you need to know about the impacts Tibetan tectonic evolution had on monsoons, climate, and biodiversity. Long story short, it's complex! Led by Bob Spicer, with me, @Climate_AlexF, @rpancost, @ClimateSamwell, and many others!

🚨New paper @ScienceMagazine led by my PhD student Cooper Malanoski on extinction selectivity. We find taxa will go extinct regardless of their traits if climate change is great enough: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @UniofOxford @ClimateSamwell @Climate_AlexF Graphic by: @MaijaKarala

📢Job alert! Are you interested in palaeoclimate over geological timescales? If so, we have an open post-doc @OxUniEarthSci on @NERCscience project, with me @ClimateSamwell @sebsteinig & others @bridge_geog Please RT! Deadline Feb 20th. tinyurl.com/3n8kp9c6

*DEADLINE 10th JAN* Attending EGU? Interested in past warm climates? Want to explore future directions for the next phase of DeepMIP? Then consider submitting to our EGU session on PETM and Eocene climate! More info here: tinyurl.com/deepmipeocene

This beautiful hand-sewn bookmark tells a serious message - temperatures are increasing (in this case, in Dorset, UK). It was made as a reminder of the urgency of the climate crisis, by my mum! One of the "makers and shakers" of Wimborne. #ShowYourStripes

Exciting postdoc position in paleoclimate modelling at @BristolUni and @UniofExeter to work with @OceanFMonteiro, @ClimateSamwell and @egw_gasson. Link to apply: jobs.ac.uk/job/DED895/res…

Attending EGU next year? Interested in the Eocene and PETM? Want to explore future directions for the next phase of DeepMIP-Eocene? Then consider submitting to our EGU session! Deadline 10th Jan. More info here: tinyurl.com/deepmipeocene
