Great clip. My only quibble is that the Earth would be even colder than he says with no greenhouse effect.

The gardens in front of our office have won a Green Flag Award, recognising them as one of the country’s best parks! It's open to all and a great green space to wander around on a warm sunny day like today. Congratulations to the awesome gardening team! bristol.ac.uk/news/2023/augu…

Very humbled, and happy, to have just accepted a 2 year lectureship at @GeogBristol, as Lecturer (Level C) in Earth System Modelling. It's only part-time, but for the rest of my time I have some equally exciting research grant news that I'm not yet allowed to share - more soon!

I also want to say that it has been humbling to let science tell the story in #PrehistoricPlanet. Cannot stress this enough, the questions asked/story lines proposed by the @bbcstudios team really pushed boundaries generating new exciting scientific discoveries for us as well 3/n

To finally see the first two espisodes in their complete form was an out of this world experience. Hopefully this will inspire the next generation of paleontologists and paleo scientists like Walking with Dinosaurs did for me. 2/n

Awesome time at the Bristol BBC #PrehistoricPlanet premiere. @BristolUni Alex Farnsworth, Paul Valdes and @OpenUniversity Bob Spicer caught up with the fantastic @bbcstudios & @AppleTV team we worked with for over 3 yrs. Still surreal to see your name in the credits!🦖 🧵1/n

Awesome new paper on African hydrology in the Eocene by @charliejrwill . Part of the #DeepMIP special issue in @AGU_Paleo . Love this figure which shows the effect of inverting paleorotations to better interpret the proxy data. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

A great way to understand Earth's atmosphere is by testing our theories on other planets. One of the most exciting papers I've ever written, published today: Polar Vortices in Planetary Atmospheres - it also has the coolest figure I've ever made👇agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.… 1/4
