We have a new #article out in #JGR #Atmospheres focusing on the tropical Pacific – Asian Monsoon relationship (and how it varies) across the last millennium using #paleoclimate data assimilation products: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023JD039207
A nice, new #study out by Jörg Lippold & colleagues on #radiocarbon differences in co-occurring planktic #foraminifera. They document how subsurface-dwellers like G. truncatulinoides have ages offset, on average, by ~300 14-C yrs compared to surface-ocean species (like G. ruber & T. sacculifer).
Costa's Hummingbird — one of my favorite #hummingbird species!
Interesting to see what the #LoopCurrent is up to right now: looks like it is about to shed a warm-core #eddy — especially considering the prevailing easterlies. Wonder how this might affect the upcoming #Atlantic #storm season...

New article out in #Paleoceanography & #Paleoclimatology where we (Chris Maupin & myself) briefly recount how scientists have sought to understand past year-to-year (#interannual) temperature variations in the marine realm: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2023PA004723
Mainly focusing on coral-derived records, we also highlight a recent article by Ong et al. (2022; https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022PA004483) who add a new #coral genus to the #paleoclimate toolkit.

Very proud of our #NSF-funded #REU students at the Dept of Geosciences, University of Arizona — our program called “Clouds 2 Core” (C2C) is only for students enrolled in 2-Yr Community and Tribal Colleges and the current cohort of 11 students are from colleges and towns all over #Arizona (and #NM and #TX). Today is their final presentations after 8 weeks of research work, here in #Tucson. Some photos below!

New species of #foraminifera (Globigerinoides rublobatus) erected from #Pleistocene sediments in the tropical #Indian Ocean — from the Journal of #Micropaleontology by Latas & colleagues: https://jm.copernicus.org/articles/42/57/2023/
Woah - look at those westerlies being churned out, crossing the subcontinent! #CycloneBiparjoy

Cool new #preprint out by Chris Lowery and colleagues where they use #seismic #stratigraphy to understand #contourite deposits associated with the #LoopCurrent in the #GulfOfMexico: https://eartharxiv.org/repository/view/5495/
