My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

This was a bonus extension of our NSFfunded late Pleistocene work at Searles with glacial termination pluvials at T1 and T2, with the same suite of biomarkers (doi.org/10.1029/2022...). Almost all the same suite of biomarkers worked for the longer core collected 50 yrs ago by the USGS.

Really enjoyed figuring out this story with Dr. Mark Peaple
and our salty lake team - while the Pliocene warmth is famous, deep lakes filled in SoCal during the M2 glacial pluvial, biomarkers say. Open access doi.org/10.1029/2023...
