Very proud of @sydneyunigeo PhD student, Chris Alfonso, who just published his 1st paper in GSA Bulletin! 👏 This project used spatio-temporal data mining (powered by #pyGPlates + #gplately) and machine learning to help find new porphyry copper deposits.

How long do ecosystems need to recover from a mass extinction? I am glad to share today's paper in Science: "Biodiversity impact of the Messinian salinity crisis", in collab with @kagiadi and many others.

Sad to know that Maria Bianca Cita just passed away. I just know a small part of her research in micropaleontology, and it's already huge. Here in Brisighella, 2013, with Ken Hsu and Bill Ryan, her colleagues onboard the Glomar Challenger in the 70s.

The Cost Action ‘SaltAges’ has been approved and is already open for any geoscientist, historian, social scientist or industry partner interested in the origins and the roles of Salt to sign up in the working groups:

If you have a presentation related to The Messnian crisis or any Salt Giant and you want to publisize it with a tweet, mention us @saltgiant and we’ll retweet you.
Here is Thursday’s session:

New paper out! Read it if interested in modelling of the gateway restriction prior to the Messinian Salinity Crisis. @saltgiant @MedSalt https://t.co/BHJCevMdZc

A total of 117 people onboard @TheJR for #exp401, including 29 non-IODP scientists, the expedition project manager and 2 outreach officers. 85 more people who do not appear on these photos :)

With great sadness we inform you that Judith A. McKenzie, Professor of Earth System Sciences at ETH Zurich from 1996 to 2007, passed away on 11 August 2023. She will always remain an important role model and good friend in our memories.

Presenting the last bit of my PhD research at the #EGU23 #saltgiant talking about gateways!

[Laetitia Guibourdenche @LGuibourdenche]

We measured the multiple sulfur isotopic composition of both the tiny sulfide globules entrapped in these filaments AND the gypsum that contain these filaments

Sadly, our ETN project will end in July.
15 international researchers have been exploring and learning together to solve a huge geological challenge on the Mediterranean past. @HorizonteEuropa @HorizonEU @CORDIS_EU @CSICCat @CSICdivulga
See below and meet the #SALTGIANT Team!👇👇

[Laetitia Guibourdenche @LGuibourdenche]

This allowed us to reveal a “cryptic” cycling of sulfur contemporaneously to gypsum precipitation. It implied both negligible net sulfate consumption and sulfide production, despite a significant benthic flux of organic carbon remineralized through microbial sulfate reduction.

6 million years ago, the Mediterranean Sea went dry and accumulated kilometres of salt. What caused this vast Mediterranean salt pan?
