Swedish. Tree-rings and paleoclimate. Sometimes the uncertainty estimates are more interesting than the narrative. I rarely do twitter or any social media.

Our new paper on Common Era agroclimate in central Europe is now out in JCLIM. Very grateful to have had the chance to work with such beautiful records:

@subfossilguy Amazing!

We have a new paper out in @RelayJFR, looking at the impact multiple comparisons can have on correlation significance when studying tree rings and daily climate data:

@TheresiaYazbeck @MPI_BGC Congrats! We should meet up some time, not too far away and I think there might be more overlapping research interests now as well!

What an achievement! 🙃
Pulling yourself up on ropes fixed by sherpas and polluting all the floors of this mountain
Magic is gone, even imaginary world has been destroyed!
F**** circus! 🤡

@Chigeorge72 @NaturePortfolio @Nature The reconstructions explain just over 55% of the variance in the instrumental measurements. There is uncertainty, no doubt, and the gray area is one way to visualize that uncertainty. The conclusions are based on the yellow line (an average of many reconstructions).

The summer of 2023 was the warmest in the Northern Hemisphere extra-tropical regions in the past 2,000 years, according to a study published in @Nature. https://t.co/qM2HAICPaH

@marschall_joe Favorite species, hands down. Very nice Joe!

I am very happy to be a co-author on Ian Howard's new paper on California heavy precipitation in recent centuries. It seems very topical too:

New paper: we were inspired by previous work from @encephalization and reconstructed baseflow using tree rings for the Santee River in SC, USA. We found certain species were more sensitive to baseflow like Baldcypress allowing for a 1000+ year record.
