A new study argues that Monte Verde is far younger than once thought, challenging when people arrived in the Americas. https://t.co/Zg5rlm3XFm

How long did it take for life to bounce back after the KPg asteroid impact and mass extinction event 66 million years ago? ☄️ A new #Geology study found that life recovered much faster than we previously thought.

Using high-precision helium-3 isotope dating to recalibrate the earliest phase of post-impact recovery, Lowery et al. found that new species began evolving just a few thousand years after the Chicxulub impact, drastically shorter than the previously proposed timeline of around 30,000 years.

The study documents up to 10–20 new planktic foraminifera species within a few thousand years of the boundary, marking one of the most rapid evolutionary bursts ever recorded. These tiny marine organisms helped rebuild ocean food webs and initiated the first phase of Earth’s long biological recovery.

These exciting new findings are gaining national media attention, including coverage in MSN.

Yes, I know, this is yet another post about Canada and Europe, but I have to say it.
As a European, the help and support we’ve received from Canada and Prime Minister Carney on the Greenland issue has been priceless.
It might not change much, but thank you truly, fellow Canadians

@iassael @RWulgaert I'm wondering, did anyone ever apply Ithaca to the earliest manuscripts of the Gospels?

Earth is getting darker, reflecting back to space a decreasing portion of the sunlight incident on Earth. This provides crucial information on cloud changes and climate sensitivity. See - 14 May Large Cloud Feedback Confirms High Climate Sensitivity - https://t.co/v2DoxQ6F8B

My main advice is this: students, treat your PhD as you would a job

@scrollprize I do hope that the owner of the library also had some interest in contemporary history. The absolute jackpot would be some of the lost books of Pliny the Elder, or a first edition of 'The Jewish War' by Flavius Josephus.

We're excited to announce that we are awarding our inaugural $60,000 First Title Prize!!!

PHerc. 172 is officially On Vices

Congratulations to Marcel Roth and Micha Nowak for the historic achievement of recovering the first title ever found in a still-rolled Herculaneum scroll!!

We've written up an extended announcement that goes into some additional details about the title and what we may learn from it here: https://t.co/lew5ZeVZsu

We've got a ton more prizes available, join our quest to read the Herculaneum scrolls and you too could win a prize like this one! https://t.co/lckJ7ydZDV

@TheOmniLiberal The thing is: current Earth system models do feature a dynamic vegetation component that takes fertilization by CO2 into account. That means 'global greening' is already baked into climate projections, the only question is whether models capture it in full detail.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered a hidden chemical archive of ancient Mars’ atmosphere, which suggests that large amounts of carbon dioxide have been locked into the planet’s crust, according to a new Science study.

@mainstreamwatch Das stimmt aber nicht. Alles in allem hat sich die Energiebilanz der Erde durch menschliche Aktivität um etwa 3 W/m2 geändert. Nach allem was wir über die Klimasensitivität wissen müsste das eine Erwärmung von 1.5 - 3.5°C nach sich ziehen (wovon bereits ~1.2°C realisiert sind).
