GGRiP Bristol has begun! @alexauderset.bsky.social gave a fantastic keynote on nitrogen isotopes as a tool in paleoceanography!

🚨New paper out with @alexauderset.bsky.social! We show that the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) was better oxygenated during the warm Miocene Climate Optimum than today, but its path to full deoxygenation was slow and complex. Link to paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Our researchers @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social have examined 5 million year old plankton fossils as part of an international research project 🌊 The study suggests tropical Pacific Ocean ecosystems may be more resilient to climate warming than first feared. Find out more 👉 tr.ee/BpAlpo

Today, we published a study long in the making on how upper and subsurface tropical Pacific waters responded (and maybe will adjust) to warmer global climate. Here’s the story of how we got here after 15 years. many authors but shout out @jfarmersalmanac.bsky.social 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Persistent eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean upwelling since the warm Pliocene
Upwelling generates a nutrient-rich “cold tongue” in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean (EEP), with impacts on global climate, oceanic biological productivity, and the carbon cycle. The cold tongue ...

Nitrogen isotopes are a promising tool to reconstruct symbiosis in planktic foraminifera! Check out our latest paper: bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

Just published in Science! Our new study shows an oxygen increase in the tropical subsurface ocean during the PETM, reconstructed by foraminifera-bound nitrogen isotopes (FB-d15N) and a foraminiferal body size model (FS-pO2). Check out the paper: www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....
