Want to turn your research idea into a funded project with expert support?

The #MPIM Incubator Program offers short, funded research stays (2 weeks–3 months) to help postdocs develop top-notch #proposals (Humboldt, MSCA, ERC & more) in an outstanding scientific environment.

Join us at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology & take your project idea to the next level.

Joshua Davies spoke today on linking the Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP) with the end of the Triassic extinction. Isotopes and trace elements suggest that it wasn't the lava directly but the cooked carbon-rich sediments that did the damage.

#Climate scientist #MarkMaslin: ‘We have all the #technology we need to move to a cleaner, #RenewableWorld’

The professor of #EarthSystemScience on the hottest year on record, using humour – with a little help from #JoBrand – to get his message across, and why there are reasons to be positive

The Guardian has covered the research of Robert Bogue (in John Stix's group). Robert is using satellite multispectral images to characterize diffuse volcanic gas emissions. The degassing magma can either enhance vegetation (due to CO2) or harm it (due to sulfur, acidified groundwater, or heat). The vegetation response can give early warning of changes to the hydrothermal system.

A very productive hour spent learning about Earth's primary productivity (organic molecules produced) over time via a talk by Peter Crockford, Carleton University.

Fun fact: every carbon atom has likely be cycled through an organism ~100 times over the last 3+ billion years!

Repost of Charlotte Spruzen's NOVA PBS post from the X site. "Ancient Earth: Frozen" debuted this week. It describes a time when Earth's oceans froze to the equator, but life survived. https://www.charlottespruzen.com/

Charlotte Spruzen (doctoral student in Galen Halverson's group) and Maxwell Lechte (post-doc, same group) were involved in creating the new PBS NOVA documentary, "Ancient Earth: Frozen". It debuted this week.

This episode focused on Snowball Earth events and how they influenced eukaryote evolution. Charlotte helped explain how and why Snowball Earth began, how eukaryotes might have survived, what caused the deglaciation.

On your mark, get set, go!

The 2nd cohort of NFDI4Earth Pilots just started. Join our public kick-off meeting and get to know the 7 pilots, which will run until September 2024. They contribute to FAIR RDM in diverse earth system science subdomains.

When? October 16th, 10:30-12:30h

Where? https://uni-leipzig.zoom.us/j/4458433042

The event will be held in English. For more information contact the pilot coordinator veronika.grupp@uni-leipzig.de

Not only was #ammineite recently discovered, it's only been present for a short part of Earth history; copper and guano in dry areas.

#Serpentine minerals: low temperature #lizardite, high temperature #antigorite transport water into the mantle and lubricate the subduction channel; they're why we have subduction and also facilitate the return of some eclogites back up to the surface.
