Wife taking interest in the societal value of geoscience! 🥰 Organized afternoon meetings for her at our amazing institute. Topic: carbon neutrality, like carbon capture, both surface and underground.(Day capped with open pit coal-roasted lamb leg bbq🐑🤤) #carboncapture
Recent PhD looking for postdoc?
Or looking for 2nd postdoc upgrade?
We've got the program for you!
With me or anyone else at our amazing Institute..
Special 3-year postdoc programs for both situations Message me or email for great package details [email protected]
Chinese Academy of Sciences 🇨🇳 🌏 🔬 bold move to stop paying to publish in expensive OA Western journals. I was interviewed about this in the South China Morning Post https://t.co/qjociapzhU
New in The Innovation Geoscience! Microclimatic impacts of wind farm Reduced diurnal temperature range.
This study demonstrates that large wind farms can significantly influence local land surface temperature, producing opposite effects during the day and night, and ultimately reducing the diurnal temperature range.

Amazing visit in Beijing with Chris Spencer and his dear family too this year! 🌍 💯 Building ties between China 🇨🇳 Canada🇨🇦 research institutions by two Americans 🇺🇸 😊 @travelinggeolog@queensu
Nature runs on laws—motion, energy, heat. But what about complexity?
Carnegie's Robert Hazen and Michael L. Wong (@miquai) think it needs a law of its own.

Found a clever (we think) way to take the ocean temperature during #SnowballEarth … coldest measured ocean temperatures on record! -15 degrees below.. Brrrr! 🧊 🌍 ❄️ 💯 @NatureComms@maxlechte Thanks @elisecutts for your smart, engaging voice

National Geographic featured our new paper reporting Earth’s coldest ocean temps on record—only 700 million years ago at a time when nearly every continent preserves evidence of ice!🌍 ❄️ #SnowballEarth@NatureComms@NatGeo

#NBAPlayoffs@NBA@ESPNNBA 🏀 double-standard alert 🚨 All the hand-wringing over the “European” players who (Luka @luka7doncic ) is said to “indulge” in beer 🍺 too much and (now Jokic @JokicWIN_fan ) who mentioned drinking some beer 🍻 after a tough end to the season… and no *players* are allowed to endorse any beer 🍺 brands (LeBron can only mention wine 🍷—praise him—for reminding us that these are still *humans* we’re dealing with) and **YET** two MAJOR SPONSORS with their logos *enshrined on the courts* during the **playoffs** are @MichelobULTRA and @harbinbeer_jp 啤酒 (popular Chinese beer brand) … So, cheers to the NBA for profiting on not from what you preach 🙂↕️
Science must go on! Given today's research climate, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is hoping to poach Chinese PhDs that might be keen in coming back to China for a relatively lucrative postdoc! Please comment, message, or email me ([email protected]) if it's you or you know of someone good! 🌍🌖💥Many exciting opportunities in many fields of earth and planetary sciences going on in China (and at IGGCAS with me in particular ;) Some pics evidencing the fun we have discovering Nature's secrets below 加油!
Great obit @niles_eldredge for an amazing woman Elizabeth Vrba whose Macroevolution class—sat around her desk in her office—often spilled over into one-on-one conversations about speciation dynamics.. so blessed to have met her!
四十不惑 🤠 In China, they say “at forty, no doubt” 😮 Now I’m not sure I’m quite there yet 🧐 but with my career established and marriage, I may know what they mean..Either way, at least it’s something to try to live up to ✊

When your skis weigh 20 lbs (and you can somehow control them) .. You. Go. FAST!
@UChicagoPress Looking forward to the eye-catching Korean translation 🇰🇷 🇰🇵 of my book The Next Supercontinent.. thank you New Wave Media for your hard work 🌍 🤓 💯
