Our new paper led by @rebjham: Forest mosaics, not savanna corridors, dominated in Southeast Asia during the Last Glacial Maximum | PNAS https://t.co/5hQW0Lov5w @conservbytes @GlobEcoFlinders @cabahCoE

[Patrick Roberts @palaeotropics]

Our new paper @PNASNews led by @rebjham provides evidence for seasonally dry tropical forest mosaics in Southeast Asia during the LGM with implications for archaeology, conservation, and forest responses to climate change in the region

Quincy Lingao and Ivana Biong from @upsystem provide a nice recap of our long awaited 2023 #PANTROPOCENE meeting. We learnt all about the history, science and archaeology of colonial impacts on tropical systems in the Philippines and beyond. Read more here https://t.co/PayUEOp0io

After 3 years, we are so excited that the #PANTROPOCENE workshop, headed up by @palaeotropics, has kicked off at @Official_UPD

Reliable rainfall in Lesotho southern Africa during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene supported the supply of freshwater and food, probably contributing to upland human habitation.

[Patrick Roberts @palaeotropics]

Delighted to share our paper on the importance of mapping land use in the tropics for understanding past human Earth system heritages left for the 21st century @MPI_GEA. The work comes out of the @ERC_Research PANTROPOCENE project @PantropicaNet

[Pantropica @PantropicaNet]

New paper by project members @palaeotropics and @RobertPatalano on organic remains from the ancient Great Wall of China and what they can tell us about past environments and climates. Out now in @SpringerNature @SciReports!

Global raster dataset on historical coastline positions and shelf sea extents since the Last Glacial Maximum 🤯 in 500-year timesteps

And, best of all, the most accurate data is in the tropics for once! 🙃
