Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I'll have more info in a few weeks when I get back from fieldwork but I'll be recruiting 2 graduate students to begin in 2026 (1 PhD, 1 MS). My lab investigates macroevolutionary dynamics using phylogenetic methods & the fossil record. Please share with students having strong research interests!

In this paper, we present new global calibrations for the I/Ca proxy for ocean oxygenation, with the first Pacific transect. By comparing data from planktonic foram species that live at different water depths, we gain a better understanding of the proxy and its relationship to O2

#paleoceanography
South-North cross section through the eastern tropical Pacific oxygen minimum zone. It shows the north and south lobe of the oxygen minimum zone, separated by the equatorial undercurrent. The Peru-Chile current and California Current ventilate the near-surface waters, North Pacific Intermediate waters bring low-oxygen waters to the northern lobe at ~550m, and Antarctic Intermediate Waters ventilate the southern lobe at the same depth. The oxygen minimum zone is fueled by Ekman upwelling and remineralization of sinking organic material.

Cool study. Shows low dispersal of mammals across continents. Most are continental scale endemics. Significant in understanding the modern structure of the Bretskyan hierarchy from mammalian perspective.

Around extinction events, the shape of shells of certain groups becomes simpler. It's a sort of austerity measure to reduce the energy cost associated with producing a shell. Might be something we need to keep an eye out for in marine organisms now. 🧪🌊

We've had a Very Important Ice delivery!

These precious ancient ice core samples from Antarctica are expected to reveal a climate record stretching back more than 1.5 million years 🤯

That's further than we've ever looked back before.
