Excited to (finally) share my new paper on Pacific SST and western North America hydroclimate during the Holocene! TL;DR They are connected, CO2 and precession both affect hydroclimate. Thanks @xiaojingdu.bsky.social @meredithparish.bsky.social @baylorfk.bsky.social+others

The Influence of Carbon Dioxide and Precession on Western North American Hydroclimate and Pacific Sea Surface Temperature During the Holocene
A network of proxy records shows western North American hydroclimate and Pacific sea surface temperature co-evolved during the Holocene The western North America became wetter while the eastern e...

Have you been following @profmattjones.bsky.social and @raindrop-herder.bsky.social who are sharing insights into the work of the PAGES 2k Network working group?
Drop them a follow to see what else they have in store during the #21daysof2k!

Check out @cpallone.bsky.social et al. (2025) in QSR, which reconstructs eastern equatorial Pacific thermocline response to orbital forcing. Exciting to see research I contributed to for my undergrad thesis now published!!

Orbital forcing of the eastern equatorial Pacific thermocline in the late Pleistocene
Eastern equatorial Pacific thermocline depth is an important component of the tropical Pacific's coupled ocean-atmosphere system and varies across El …

Big up to @rdzombak.bsky.social for bringing eyes to this story. 🧪

So many people beyond my little cohort of fellows are impacted by slowdowns at NOAA. America is rapidly losing footing as a leader in climate science and we all are paying the cost.

New Science Advances paper on Plio-Pleistocene northern African hydroclimate! Tl;dr the wet summer monsoon = summer insolation & the dry winter monsoon = global ice volume

Paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...), Brown press release here (www.brown.edu/news/2025-06...)
Fundamentally unchanged northwestern African rainfall regimes across the Plio-Pleistocene transition
The northern African summer monsoon was unaffected by global cooling at the end of the Pliocene 3 million years ago.

Excited to present my work at #AGU24 on decadal-scale sychronous pan-Pacific hydroclimate extremes over the last millennium! Stop by and learn about what I've been up to lately at Lamont!
