We find that CO2 levels fluctuated on short timescales (<100,000 years), from background levels of 623 ppm (range: 473 to 773 ppm) to as much as 1373 ppm (range: 882 to 2082 ppm) during the Taghanic Crisis (2/3).
Two graphs: Top graph shows published CO2 estimates for the Eifelian, Givetian, and Frasnian. Values range from ~500 to 1500 ppm. Bottom graph shows new high-resolution CO2 estimates in the Givetian. Values range from ~600 ppm to 4500 ppm, but most likely values reach ~1400 ppm.

We present new high-resolution carbon isotope data from #Svalbard to investigate atmospheric CO2 during the Middle Devonian, particularly the Taghanic crisis (1/3).
Multiple photos of rocks in Svalbard, including an aerial view of the landscape with gray and beige sedimentary rocks and several photos showing these rocks at outcrop scale.

Here are four photos of squiggly rocks on Earth. Can you guess which of these, if any, are evidence of past life on Earth? If we received similar photos, from let's say Mars, would we know if it is life or not?
Four photos of rocks with swirling textures.

This is some really cool work led by Dr(!) Ishita Pal, recent graduate of the Earth and Energy Sciences Program at @ullafayette.bsky.social! Measurements of actual star dust! Check it out open-access here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

What many don't realize is that the annual average daily temperature for Lafayette, Louisiana (69F) falls right between that of Los Angeles (66F) and Bermuda (72F). Some might say we have the optimal Goldilocks temperature. I think the city should market that more.
A totally representative 10-day sample of temperatures in Lafayette, LA.

Is it Gumbo Weather yet? @ullafayette.bsky.social Gumbo weather is defined as 1st day w daily maximum temperature <70F. Last year (2024) was latest in last 120 years. We had to wait til Nov 20! We are not hoping for a repeat. Want to play along? Post your guess below!

Congrats to Victoire Soumano, a MS student in Environmental Resource Science who won 1st place oral presentation at the Tri Societies (ASA, SSSA, CSSA) 2024 meeting in San Antonio. Victoire presented her work: “Bioremediation of lead contaminated soil with biochar and compost treatments.”

Found in the laundry. Obviously not new (coin, nor tree 🤣), but don’t think I’d seen before.

I am looking for a student interested in using stable isotopes to study climate extremes. Please share with students looking to start a PhD program in the next year. Information on our interdisciplinary PhD program here: louisiana.edu/graduatescho...
