I’m grateful to have Devika Varma and Lisa Schellenberg supporting me as my paranymphs on this special day. If you’d like to attend the defence in Utrecht, feel free to reach out to me or my paranymphs for an invitation. Please let me know if you would like to receive a printed copy of the thesis.

I hope the paleoceanographic community feels inspired by this work and continues exploring and applying this proxy.

Nearly there—and excited for what lies ahead! 🌊🎓 On 26 May, I will be defending my PhD thesis: “Reconstruction of the Cenozoic evolution of the hydrogen isotopic composition of seawater using C₃₇ alkenones.”

Who knows GPlates and could generate me a Paleogeographic world map spanning the Eocene...?

Ammonites survived the end-Cretaceous mass extinction. I always learned that they went extinct. Very cool finding! Against all odds, a curious sea creature survived the dino-killing asteroid | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

💼 I’m seeking a position in Scientific Coordinator/Outreach, laboratory/analytical Research & Development (R&D), or as a Project Manager. 🧭 I love organizing things – whether it’s in the lab, managing projects, engaging in science communication, or working out in the field.

I’m currently looking for a new professional opportunity in the Bremen area – maybe you can help me with that. If you hear of any suitable positions or just want to reconnect, I’d be happy to hear from you or see a comment below. #OpenToWork

How did global air temperatures vary before 1850? We can now answer this from direct instrumental observations. The new GloSAT dataset is under review! Morice et al.: essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...

Project 4 and 5 go deeper in time - stay tuned for more hydrogen isotope records of alkenones.

My 3. Paper spans the Mid Miocene, one of my favorite record so far, proud that I was able to measure so many samples manually during covidlabrestrictions. For this open-ocean North Atlantic core site we are confident in our surface seawater isotope reconstruction which fits recent publications.

My 2. Paper spans the Pliocene-Miocene, interesting Equatorial Pacific core and time period but it turned out that we are not able to interpret the surface seawater isotopes based on allenones here. But we learned more about the proxy 🤷‍♀️

My 1. PhD Paper spans the last 20.000 years and we demonstrate that the d2HC37 proxy is reproducible and we provide an interpretation on the surface seawater isotope change.

My PhD project focuses on d2H of alkenones and I tried to combine it to inorganic d18O records and other proxies 🤓 And applied it to different marine sediment cores from different locations and different timespans of the Cenozoic (thousand to million years)

Since my Bachelor I am fascinated by isotopes and marine geochemistry. My first proxy project back then was on oxygen isotopes of 🦈teeth then I discovered the world of foraminifera (e.g. 14C, d18O, d13C) and meanwhile digged into the organic geochemistry world.

Hello, I am new to this space and want to introduce myself the next few weeks. After my Geoscience Master in Bremen, I started my PhD project march 2020, 2 weeks before lockdown as I use to say 😅, at NIOZ on the beautiful island of Texel 🏖️🦭

The past IS the key to the future. Fantastic effort - 485 million years of global temperature correlating with atmospheric CO2 in this new paper by Judd and others www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... . 🧪⚒️
Top panel shows two black wiggly lines going up and down in parallel- one is CO2 the other is global temperature.  They cover the last 485 million years. Panel on the bottom left shows a x-plot of CO2 vs Global Temperature- the data are beautifully correlated implying an Earth System Sensitivity of around 8 oC per CO2 doubling.  Not sure what the figure in the bottom right panel shows but it looks cool!
