Fun #AGU22 Day 2 yesterday with a variety of #Paleoclimate & #Ocean #Science talks; particularly enjoyed this session:
Koll ends his talk with the quote: “We don’t inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” #climatechange
Roxy Koll (https://twitter.com/rocksea) now focuses on how ongoing Indo-Pacific warming is “warping” the Madden-Julien Oscillation (#MJO) & modifying global rainfall patterns.
Now at #AGU22 - the lakeside building (E352) - Roxy Koll from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (Pune) gives the Devendra Lal Memorial Medal lecture on his Indian Ocean/monsoon research.
A full on #Rutgers lineup here at the Indian & Southern Ocean (paleo)circulation session in S403b. First, Jim Wright provides a fresh (first?) look into Argentine drift sediments and the insights they hold regarding Neogene glaciation.
Now: Liz Sykes talks about the history of δ¹³C in the southeastern Indian Ocean and its implications for deglacial carbon change.
Take Home MEssage: Differential δ¹³C histories of proximal cores
Mark Yu, from #Rutgers, gives an interesting talk about reconstructing #monsoon variability from sediment cores offshore the #Maldives and finds that the isotopic difference between this record and foraminiferal records from the Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal, are a reflection of monsoon variability. #AGU22 #Paleoceanography
Now at S403b at #AGU22: Pedro DiNezio presents research on Indian Ocean climate variability and its similarities across past global states and projected states for the future; in particular, Pedro focuses on the related hydroclimate response.
At the #EOS Science Advisors meeting right now at #AGU22 & here is a list of the top 5 most popular scientist-authored articles of 2022. I sense a theme! #ice #climatechange #Antarctica

Now at S405a (#AGU22) - Central University of #Kerala Ph.D. student, Ammoose Jayan (also currently a Fulbright visitor at the #UniversityOfArizona), talks about #paleoceanography investigations in the Gulf of #Mannar (#IndianOcean) focusing on paleoproductivity changes across the late Holocene using #planktic #foraminifera. Main result: lower productivity in Gulf of Mannar along with a relatively weaker #Indian summer #monsoon winds during the Little Ice Age (#LIA), some ~500-700 years ago.
I wonder about the potential impact on coastal southern Indian societies & seafood intake during the time!
July 2022: A superb #Superb #Starling seen in #Amboseli, #Kenya.

One of my favorite #birds to see out in the wild - an Indian Paradise Flycatcher- this one seen a few weeks ago at Hunasinakere in Hassan Taluk, #Karnataka. They seem so ethereal & otherworldly upon first sight!

July, 2022: Greater Flamingos in #flight (+ African #megafauna in the background) at Amboseli, Kenya.

I missed these birbs - here is a House #Crow at the banks of the #Kaveri River & confluence of its tributaries in #Srirangapatna, #Karnataka, chomping down on rice leftover from an ash scattering (death) ritual.
Earth/climate scientist at the #UniversityOfArizona (#Tucson).
