Been thinking about student writing assignments and how to describe what AI-soup-speak sounds like. My take now is, that if a piece of writing sounds like a horoscope reading or prediction, it's written by generative AI

It's been a good few months of getting some fieldwork in. There's lots of Holocene muds and sands in WA, NSW, and VIC that still have many secrets to tell about past coastal change. I have some wonderful colleagues I get to work with along on the way! : )

Global sea-level rise in the early Holocene revealed from North Sea peats - Nature
An early Holocene sea-level curve based on data from the North Sea reveals two phases of accelerated sea-level rise owing to meltwater from the North American and Antarctic ice sheets.

🔥New paper alert! 🔥 Jacky Austermann and I show that simultaneous Antarctic collapse + Laurentide persistence during the Last Interglacial (130,000 - 115,000 years ago) could explain the local sea level oscillation observed in the Bahamas, Seychelles, Australia, and elsewhere. tinyurl.com/yjj7w2mr 🧵

Truly appalling decision. My fear is that other governments will see it as a great idea. Science does not, and cannot, operate in a vacuum. Almost all the impact comes from collaboration with non-scientists.

It’s not ok that many people are confusing a policy goal (1.5 C) with a physical limit of the climate system. It threatens rash actions, it threatens despair, and it threatens loss of credibility.

Deadline extended for abstract submission to the 2025 PAGES OSM! It's looking like a great meeting, with 600+ abstracts so far. For all my Common Era friends, we've got a 2k session which is looking great so far but would also love YOUR amazing science.

Our new study out in @ScienceAdvances shows human presence in Tasmania at least 41,600 years ago, nearly 2000 years earlier than previously thought, and Aboriginal people burned and used wet forests. Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Landscape burning facilitated Aboriginal migration into Lutruwita/Tasmania 41,600 years ago
Paleoecological records show that Aboriginal people burned wet forest to first settle in Tasmania 41,600 years ago.

Ancient warning of a rising sea
Fossil coral reefs in the islands of the Seychelles may indicate where sea level rise will be felt the hardest as human-caused climate change impacts the world’s oceans.
