What have you done over the last 5 yrs (Sept, 2018-July, 2023)? Sadly my fav glacier (Klinaklini) has lost 5 Gt of water. 😪Cloudy shots omitted. B. Floyd @VIUniversity @UNBC @HakaiInstitute met station.
Really neat video by @InspireExplore with George Denton from @UMaine , who discusses early explorer contributions to understanding Antarctica and global climate. I’m forever grateful that George helped me get there as a student.

Lovely to see mentor and colleague Paul Williams from @AucklandUni honoured with an ONZM today - an absolute legend in physical geography and especially speleothem research in Aotearoa
Lots of familiar names here. Congratulations to Nigel French and Ralph Sims (CNZM) and Rochelle Constantine of @MMEG_UoA (ONZM) nzherald.co.nz/nz/kings-birt…

Im so happy to announce my first PhD paper has been published in Quaternary Research!!! I explored the spatial distribution of pollen within stalagmites 🥳

Southern Ocean circulation can be viewed as a supergyre—several inter-connected, leaky sub-gyres—as opposed to isolated gyres in the Weddell and Ross Seas

Electric light show tonight over Riverhead…. Preceded by strong winds, small hydrometeors and quite raucous thunder.
The single frame I pulled out of this clip was the brightest part of the lightning flash that passed over us…
Again….and again…and again. 2023 has seen 3 inundations of part of my little village of Riverhead much like this one after heavy rainfall. Fences taken out this time in places. Please consider sharing flood evidence at NZFP.niwa.co.nz @Emily_M_Lane @niwa_nz @NZFloodPics

Unpacking amazing taonga with Jonathan Palmer - accession of ancient kauri into the @niwa_nz 🌳💍 archive includes this ginormous cross section from Ngawha Springs. It lived about 42,000-41,000 years ago through the Adams Event and Laschamps geomagnetic weakening/reversal #14C

In history: 24th April 1771. The Great Yaeyama tsunami struck the Ryūkyū Islands. A tsunami ~30m high killed around 12000 people on Ishigaki and Miyako Islands. A post-tsunami famine lasted for 80 years #lifeinthepacific #boulders #thetsunamiprof bit.ly/3ymzU0V

Are you a PhD who loves stable isotopes, hands-on lab work, teaching & mentoring? We're hiring a Research Assistant Prof to be our next colleague @NU_EARTHSCI. My students and I can't wait to work with you on lots of fun paleoclimate research! 1/2 (Please RT)
