“Ze tane mahavelo ka tanendraza” (the land that sustains you is the land of the ancestors) - Vezo proverb that speaks to the heart of the matter @soulfirefarm @sustainPSU @OBTlab
Had a productive second day of coring with @coralmannie and @kgdouglass! We now have a core of over 1 m from this Porites with several more meters to go. Excited to see what climate history these corals contain! @OBTlab@columbiaclimate@LamontEarth
Panelists will explore examples of research projects that contribute to 30x30 initiatives to protect biodiversity and to DEI initiatives for social equity.
Feat. Miguel Ordeñana @NHMLA, Irene E. Torres Engilis @MWFB, & @KGDouglass@OBTlab. Moderator CCST's @AmberJMace.

Team of researchers incl @columbiaclimate@LamontEarth archaeologist/anthropologist @kgdouglass has used DNA and other info extracted from ancient eggshell fragments to provide a rare glimpse into the history of Madagascar’s extinct giant elephant birds. https://t.co/UyELwcgccf
“It is amazing to think that these thousand-year-old egg fragments can give us insight as to where elephant birds lived, what they ate, how their ancestors might have looked, and how they evolved over the years.” - lead author Dr. Alicia Grealy

In this Q&A, @columbiaclimate@LamontEarth archaeologist and anthropologist @kgdouglass discusses what drew her to her work, her community-centered research in Madagascar, and courses like Black Ecologies she plans to teach at @Columbia Climate School. https://t.co/QKE7Y3XcnH
What happens to a community when a key resource disappears? In SW Madagascar, a tree of great importance in that region appears to be vanishing. On our latest podcast, @kgdouglass discusses her research regarding this phenomenon. https://t.co/9x1mMbDTy7
Excited to continue our @OBTlab work and build new collaborations @columbiaclimate! I am also deeply grateful to my wonderful colleagues @PSU_Anthro, @IEEPennState and @PSULiberalArts for the tremendous support they have given me in my time at Penn State.
Archaeologist and anthropologist @kgdouglass has been appointed the first Columbia Climate School faculty hire, joining faculty from across @Columbia to train the next generation of leaders addressing #climatechange in first-in-the-nation graduate program. https://t.co/gmRwiGUKzu
