New #isotope #isoscape paper.. Sarah Magozzi leads a huge team building isoscapes for the #Mediterranean Tldr: state of the art statistical models cannot compensate for systematic variance in opportunistic data. Important finding in AI meta-analysis world -cannot just rely on compiled data.
Isoscape models for Med Sea - Note short spatial scale as isotope values revert to the global mean  - difficult to resolve larger scale spatial pattern with systematic but un-modelled sources of variance in opportunistic data

A good few degrees cooler than southern England here in Rhossili.. still a LOT of pink skin on show..

I think I had a good science idea this weekend. I’m hoping if I ignore it, it’ll go away and I can try relaxing.
Sunny part of Sussex in summer. Green rolling hills with a strong lazing about and doing nothing vibe, 
possibly with cricket on the radio and ants in a sandwich nearby.

Will there be any #fossil #otoliths in here? Thanks to my London Clay exploratory field assistants.

Ah, I remember now what warm sunshine is like. Charging vitamin D batteries ahead is talking about field metabolic rates at NYU Abu Dhabi. Thanks very much for the invitation!

One nice thing about living at relatively high latitudes in winter:- pubs look very cosy and inviting at 5pm on the way home…

New paper from @louisehosking.bsky.social @zoedoubleday.bsky.social et al reviewing the wealth of chemical information in less-frequently analysed biomineralized tissues from aquatic taxa. If you're bored of otoliths, bivalves, and corals... tinyurl.com/v8p8nxk4. #sclerochronology #marinelife 🦑

End of a very office- bound week- and more of the same to come with a ton of marking on the desk… remembering it’s not always like this….

Conference hotel for 7th international #otolith symposium here in Chile. Otoliths are stony structures in fish ears which grow with rings like trees. Estimating the age of fish from otoliths underpins sustainable fishery management. 🧪
