All American Road UT 12, between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef.

This area is full of fossilized seashells, dinosaur bones, ancient petroglyphs and artifacts from early people.

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 () is out in Climate of the Past (): cp.copernicus.org/articles/19/

We look at the consistency (& lack thereof) of simulated temperature responses & impacts on interannual hydroclimate changes over the Indian Ocean rim for the , , last , and an abrupt 4 x CO₂ simulation.

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

Nerdy details: we show using of (δ¹³C) and (δ¹⁸O) that **ONLY** Miliolida benthic foraminifera (including , , & - pictures attached) found **ONLY** in sediments proximal to methane hydrates (site U1446 is in the NW Bay of Bengal) contain wildly negative δ¹³C signatures characteristics associated with methane dynamics in marine sediments. Check out those δ¹³C values!!

🚨🚨New Paper Alert🚨🚨

We have a new paper out in Earth & Planetary Science Letters () entitled “Indian margin methane hydrate dissociation recorded in the carbon isotopes of benthic (Miliolida) foraminifera”

Main take home message: we have identified a group of (unicellular organisms living at the bottom of the ) whose shell chemistry carries signatures of dynamics within .
