💎New preprint: The Rise of Diamond OA Journals in Earth Sciences A decade ago a few scholar-led, no-fee journals started reimagining Earth science publishing. We map the wins & the fragilities that will decide whether this scales. #OpenAccess #DiamondOA doi.org/10.31223/X56...

We need to change how we publish science! New article with @camthomas.bsky.social : “Diamond is the new Green: why Green OA is not sustainable long-term.” About 15 min, perfect for a weekend reading with a coffee: @sedimentologika.bsky.social 💎 doi.org/10.57035/jou...

Very proud of this piece written with @romainvaucher.bsky.social Most research is funded with public money & written and reviewed for free by researchers : yet the results are controlled by corporations that set the rules and capture the profits. As an academic, you can help change the system!

Great talk by Dr Romain Vaucher from James cook uni - on using sediment records from shallow water systems to help understand the habitats and environments of fossils and understanding climate change. Thanks for showing the complex Fitzroy estuary in central qld, Romain.

Hi new followers! 👋 I’m a sedimentologist studying Earth surface processes and how (paleo)climate shapes our planet. 🌍 In a recent study, we found that climate drove repeated advances of a deltaic system ~51 million years ago, during Earth’s hothouse conditions. 🔥 (1/4) 🔗 doi.org/10.1130/G525...

Our new open access paper is out in Geology 📖🔓! Our findings suggest that climate-driven sediment supply variations during the Early Eocene Climate Optimum 🌡 played a more significant role than changes in accommodation space in controlling the Tremp basin's stratigraphy: doi.org/10.1130/G525...

Big news in the publishing landscape of 🇨🇭 The Swiss National Science Foundation will no longer support publications in special issues. This is to fight the unsustainable models pushed by publishing houses like MDPI or Frontiers. There is another way. Go Diamond! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 www.snf.ch/en/g2ICvujLD...
