@trinsec 😅
Delighted to have two Great Horned Owls move into the neighborhood recently. A few #photographs below.
I painted this portrait of a redbreast European Robin - Erithacus rubecula - in acrylic on a loose abstract background in vibrant orange.
I have great fun watching the birds in my garden and in nature. In winter they come to the bird feeder and enjoy sunflower seeds. In spring and summer they visit the garden looking for insects. So much inspiration for an artist!

🌊 🌊 New Paper Out! 🌊 🌊
Led by Chris Brierley, our manuscript on Indian Ocean variability across the latest edition of various paleoclimate modeling intercomparison projects (#PMIP) is out in Climate of the Past (#CotP): https://cp.copernicus.org/articles/19/681/2023/cp-19-681-2023.pdf
We look at the consistency (& lack thereof) of simulated temperature responses & impacts on interannual hydroclimate changes over the Indian Ocean rim for the #midHolocene, #LGM, last #interglacial, and an abrupt 4 x CO₂ simulation. #Paleoclimate #Climate #IndianOcean #ClimateSimulations #ClimateOfThePast #ClimateChange
@DrEvanGowan I'm guessing *someone* has probably made a visualization with the #Neotoma pollen database: https://apps.neotomadb.org/explorer/
@DrEvanGowan Emphasis on Late #Pleistocene, but perhaps this paper is something that could be useful? https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.aan5360
An intruder appeared while doing #Raman spectroscopy on submarine volcanic tephra... a #foraminifera! #ThinSectionThursday
@ct_bergstrom Thank you!

@TheMetalDog A fantastic album!! Although, admittedly I think I am slightly more partial to The Politics of Ecstasy.
Map showing which climate element was most unusual in winter (Dec-Feb) 2022-23. I looked at high snowfall, warm anomalies, cold anomalies, wet anomalies, dry anomalies, cloudy anomalies, and uncloudy anomalies. The period of analysis is the last 50 winters and whichever element had the highest rank (most uncommon) was mapped. @AlaskaWx
@willerstorfi Super cool work man! Congrats!
Gorgeous sunset last evening at #Biosphere2 viewing the northern face of the #SantaCatalina #mountains
