I got this comment on Youtube. I had to click on his username, only to find out that his last upload is a 'documentary' about an alien city in Antarctica. 🤦

Our recent paper in @ScienceAdvances. We may have a better picture of how the Mediterranean level evolved during the Lago-Mare: "Kilometric sea level changes during the Messinian salinity crisis caused by river erosion and climate" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmUn...

Fresh article in PNAS, by Udara Amarathunga & co. Using geochemical data and numerical models, we identify oxygenation of the Mediterranean and a 33kyr salinity stratification in the earliest Pliocene, both consistent with the Zanclean Megaflood hypothesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Small populations of Stone Age people drove dwarf hippos and elephants to extinction on Cyprus

Pig-sized hippos and elephants the size of horses once roamed the lush forests of Cyprus – until humans arrived.

La llamada 'tercera España' no fue un partido, fue una idea: diálogo frente al fanatismo. Un día como hoy de 1936 comenzaba la guerra civil española.

¿Qué fue la ‘tercera España’?

En el conocido como ‘Contubernio de Múnich’ se sentaron las bases para una posterior reconciliación española en base a una idea que se alejaba de las ‘dos Españas’.

Happy that the paper linked to this model is now 'in press' in Science Advances. First time we run this was 2009. It took us 13 years to understand what's the question it could answer: The mystery of the extreme sea levels of the Mediterranean Sea during the Lago-Mare period. youtu.be/AmUn-RYUfZc

I just learned from an American colleague that the US administration is massively cancelling active scientific projects dealing with global climate change. They are not even waiting for the next call. I'm searching the web and it is appalling. Not in my worst nightmares only a year ago.
