Hot off the press... You guessed it!! More authigenic silica precipitation, but this time with Microbes!

This one took awhile to get out into the world, but very proud of the team for getting it done :)

Samples of eerie blue glacial ice from Antarctica are a staggering 6 million years old, doubling the previous record for Earth’s oldest ice. https://t.co/4qKTdgIVXu

Venezuela loses its last glacier as it shrinks down to an ice field. Scientists reclassify Humboldt glacier, also known as La Corona, after it melted faster than expected. #Glaicer #Melting https://t.co/vfJO0oWwx6

Let me highlight my fun new paper that came out today! A group of Early Career Si Scientists came together to put out a FYM series on Si, check all of them out!!

If you are interested in more there is a handful more articles within a collection for the SI cycle out now:

Hot off the Press!
Looking at reactive Si pools in N Gulf of Mexico sediments. We found these sediments appear to have more authigenic Si among other systems and believe anthropogenic activity may have stimulated Si sequestration. Check it out!

Congratulations Tzu-Hao!! His first PhD publication is out in the world today! Surprise, surprise, I'm still looking at reactive Si pools, but this time with pretty pictures!

Check out this new paper by Dr. Jeff Krause from @disealab and @UofSouthAlabama . Lucky to be apart of this awesome dataset. Definitely bringing back alllllll the good cruise memories ;)

Hot off the press!! Do you believe in the certainty of the oldest diatom fossils?

Lucky to be apart of this great project the last year!

[EC Marine Science @ECMarineScience]

We're celebrating '11 Alum marine science geology @EckerdCollege Rebecca Pickering's defense of dissertation: "Silica Cycling at the Sediment Water Interface of Coastal Systems," @disealab. Headed for Postdoc w @DrSilica @lunduniversity Si Isotopes in Creataceous/Jurrasic Cores.

[Rebecca A. Pickering @Pickerra]

So excited to finally have this published!! This is some work I did my first year at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Looking at how different cleaning methods effect diatom dissolution rates. Spoiler we used LOTS of diatom silica.
