Exciting 24-month Postdoc opportunity for a peatland palaeoecologist, working with Dr Jenna Sutherland at Leeds Beckett U. on the NERC-funded InSPIRE project. Investigating initiation of new peatlands in deglaciating parts of Alaska, including fieldwork vacancies.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/ce0984li_web...

Not sure if I’m supposed to promote my work as a furloughed government employee, but our paper comparing vegetation communities of the now-submerged central Bering land bridge and modern (Holocene) Bering Sea islands, with implications for the timing of sea-level transgression, is out!

A Review of Abrupt Permafrost Thaw: Definitions, Usage, and a Proposed Conceptual Framework - Current Climate Change Reports Purpose of Review We review how ‘abrupt thaw’ has been used in published studies, compare these definitions to abrupt processes in other Earth science disciplines, and provide a definitive framework f...

The term “abrupt permafrost thaw” is increasingly used in the scientific literature. The concept comes with challenges as authors look at “abrupt“ change with different perspectives on time scales, magnitudes, and impacts. Webb et al developed a new conceptual framework: doi.org/10.1007/s406...

Impact of topographic change on the East Asian monsoon in Japan and Eastern Asia during the Last Glacial Maximum - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science The rainfall patterns in Eastern Asia are largely a consequence of the Asian winter and summer monsoons. On timescales 10 $$^4$$ 4 –10 $$^6$$ 6 of years, the position and strength of the monsoons chan...

I have a new paper out, a result of a postdoctoral project I was doing at Kumamoto University between 2021 and 2023. In this study, we investigate how the ~120 m sea level fall at the Last Glacial Maximum might affected the temperature and precipitation in Eastern Asia. ⚒️🌊🦣 🧵 doi.org/10.1186/s406...

Bring back the wetlands to reduce fire severity. Fire smart landscapes must include wetlands. Protect, restore, reclaim wet soils.

I have never stayed at AGU so long that they announce the poster hall is closing! Great meeting seeing lots of old friends and new, energetic faces.

I will be at my poster from 8:30ish to 10:30 am!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll stop by! Busy day today.

Heading to #AGU24. What should I come see? I’m presenting Tuesday morning on our work reconstructing fire and sea level history in Hawaii

Also still on immuno-suppressant drugs for my breast cancer treatment so I will be behind an N95 mask. Consider doing the same if you are sick or have been around sick people. 😷

Also co-authored a presentation on human modification of coastal wetlands from the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains: eppro01.ativ.me/appinfo.php?...

Also examining fire in peatlands, which can both be Archie’s of fire history and burn themselves. Here we look at charcoal morphology to disentangle the two: eppro01.ativ.me/appinfo.php?...

Looking forward to your talk. Would love to chat about cellulose isotopes!

I’m here, too!

Hi Ben!

Temperate swamp with some dying trees impacted by sea level rise. Open water in the foreground with sparse, saturated forest in the background.

Hi everyone! I have been lurking but probably should introduce myself. I am a research geologist interested in wetland vegetation, climate, and carbon cycle dynamics on sub-centennial to multi-millennial timescales. I have sites from the tropics to the Arctic. I love peat, especially ancient peat.

Thanks for pinging this study @evangowan.bsky.social! We evaluated CH4from coastal wetlands only, so the implications are that they could have been a lot higher if inland wetlands are included, especially once the climate transitioned and permafrost thawed. Good opportunity for follow-up!

In my big thread of #AGU24 talks I missed a couple by @miriamcjones.bsky.social about charcoal methods for paleofire reconstruction (Tuesday morning: PP21E-0510, PP21E-521)
