🐚🔬 This July, the Exeter SEACHANGE team hosted four visiting students for hands-on training in sclerochronology. From acetate peels to shell chronologies, it was a fantastic two weeks of learning, collaboration and knowledge exchange. seachange-erc.eu/news/27/37/S... #SEACHANGEERC

A couple of years ago we were beginning to see exciting interdisciplinary datasets coming out of @erc.europa.eu 🌍 @seachange-erc.bsky.social 🌊. It was amazing to begin to understand the complex dance of climate 🌡️, humans 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️, and marine biodiversity 🐟🪸 across centuries! ⏳✨

The recent SEACHANGE annual meeting in Cornwall was a great success. The past year's work and achievements were reviewed and a plan made for the next year of work. It was great for everyone to catch up in person in the stunning location on the the North Cornish coast.
