It was great to see so many STEM enthusiastic high school students on campus last week for the @CurtinUni DISCOVER program 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬
We had a great time showing students our lab facilities, and our many amazing samples! @Geology_Ale @LM_Brosnan

Happy @Aus_ScienceWeek! Did you come down to anti-conference last weekend? We had a great time taking the audience back in time to check out some amazing fossil specimens and how geochemistry can be used to study them 🦖@inspiringaus @Geology_Ale @MadisonTripp_ @LM_Brosnan

Missed teaching fieldwork the last Covid-years, amazing to have this opportunity in such stunning locations!

Check our researcher, Amy Elson (@Geology_Ale), teaching geology students at Nature’s Widow at Kalbarri National Park. The field trip was a great opportunity for undergraduate students to learn about the wonders of geology and explore the beauty of WA’s natural landscape

Check out the amazing view that the @waoigc team and @Curtin_TrEnD recently got to see at #SharkBay! Renowned for their exceptional stromatolites, the team sampled a mix of microbial mat types, coquina shells, and saline water which was twice as salty as the oceans. @Geology_Ale

@joy__geology Happy thoughts sent from Aus, I hope you feel better soon and get to enjoy some quality time for yourself ❤️

We’ve got a new paper out on climate #TippingPoints in @ScienceMagazine: “Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points”

A great lab to work in! Feel free to reach out and ask any q's about the place if you're curious 🧐

[Organic Geochemistry Southampton @OrgGeochem_UOS]

📢3 year PDRA at Southampton📢Ideal for candidates with expertise in biomarkers OR chironomids and an interest in Holocene paleoclimate. Includes 3-month secondment to DEFRA to engage with policymakers + fieldwork!

Closing Date: 04 August 2022.

Fun to work on this lake core with Maria Ramos-Roman, reconstructing Mid-Holocene climate change using both brGDGTs and pollen. Interesting cold event at 4.2 ka seen by both these independent proxies.

[Amy Elson @Geology_Ale]

I survived the move to Australia! Sad to report my stromatolite didn't...

[Organic Geochemistry Southampton @OrgGeochem_UOS]

New paper in @AnnualReviews ("Biomarker Approaches for Reconstructing Terrestrial Environmental Change") led by @climategordon and feat. @emzyholl from @OceanEarthUoS. Link here: https://t.co/csjdX4IYT1

@foramsraqu That's awesome, congratulations for all your amazing successes 💖 you deserve every bit of this!!

[BlackInGeoscience @BlkinGeoscience]

A friendly heads-up!
⚠️*High tweet volume warning*⚠️starting today for #BlackInGeoscienceWeek.

We ask you to join us as we amplify our Black colleagues and their work in Earth and Planetary Science this week.

[Amy Elson @Geology_Ale]

Addition 1763 to my imaginary list if I ever had a lab, such a genius idea to help anyone- love it! 💖

[Tera Levin @tera_levin]

Pretty happy with how our lab emergency personal supplies drawer is coming together!

Any other ideas for what would be useful? Suggestions welcome!

[Amy Elson @Geology_Ale]

My amazing sister will be giving all the profits to those in affected by the recent tragedy to hit my home city 💚

If anyone’s in the south west and wants a Plymouth tattoo. Pop me a message 💚💚

[Amy Elson @Geology_Ale]

@palaeoconnor They seemed to like it! Also look at the awesome cake my sister made!
