A moment of serenity (wait for it) from a Niue sea cave last month. 🖖🏼

[Chris T. Wood @woodunderground]

Had a good time and met lots of cool science folks 🌏

The Rafter Radiocarbon Lab (GNS Science) is hiring a scientist (1/2 time running the AMS) and a technician position for anyone interested or adjacent to someone interested! https://t.co/XyjHfjoQur https://t.co/uU7lcGz9oO

@wegeochem @WeirdMedieval Did you read the alt text 😆

[Chris T. Wood @woodunderground]

@wegeochem I have not played wordle, so very accurate.

@OlaKwiecien3 @wegeochem @SebHoepker I like to believe we all have a little fluffy bat inside (not literally).

[Chris T. Wood @woodunderground]

As I prepare for a great new gig in 2022, I know that Waikato-based cave science in New Zealand (and beyond) is in excellent hands with @wegeochem and @SebHoepker. And I hope to get all my work (PhD and postdoc) out there in the next year or two…

[Chris T. Wood @woodunderground]

@wegeochem @gnsscience @waikato Thanks Adam - it has been epic! (and a strange couple of years) I’m sure our paths will continue to cross.

@paleopatt @wegeochem @SebHoepker It definitely appears that way 🙃 (Southern Hemisphere smile)

Attending #AGU21? Interested in 45,000 years of SE Asia hydroclimate? Wanna see my 4m-long stalagmite?! Come see my poster next Monday (in person) or online (published now).

👇Check out our latest @SpeleoQuest study in @GCA_Journal. A fantastic piece of work by Ingrid Lindeman, featuring @SFMBreitenbach +@DrMaxHansen
We show that organics in cave waters control the capture of metals by #speleothems with climatic significance.

@SebHoepker @SFMBreitenbach Are they sure it’s not a Moa coprolite?

[Chris T. Wood @woodunderground]

Alternate title: Earthquakes and log slopes and dolomites, oh my!

[Chris T. Wood @woodunderground]

I’ll be presenting experimental work on cave and karst trace elements at @goldschmidt2021 next week for anyone attending and interested: “Incongruent dissolution following comminution in karstic carbonates…” Session 9g01; Wednesday, 7 July; 10:45-10:55 CEST. @wegeochem

“Many of my colleagues are paleoclimatologists — they’re studying the effects of climate in the past — and the reason they’re doing that is out of nerdiness, but also to understand what’s happening to the climate right now,” Dr. Pickersgill said. @nytimes https://t.co/deGj46NAE4

We (specifically Travis) carefully spotted ~8 spelungula caverinicola* (Nelson cave spiders) in a small cave near Tākaka (and many egg sacks). *New Zealand’s largest and only protected spider - found in the Northwest South Island. @SebHoepker @wegeochem

Three tough, cold ❄ and wet days in Mt Luxmore caves following recent snow melt. But rewarded by incredible scenery and team spirit. 1 autosampler + logging equipment installed with @SebHoepker, @woodunderground and friends. Now on to Kahurangi National Park. 🏔🥾🥾

[Chris T. Wood @woodunderground]

On the way to the first cave day in Fiordland last week... the suits were not as clean a few hours later. Monitoring in the deep south with @wegeochem @SebHoepker

[Adam Hartland 🔋⚡️ @wegeochem]

Views across Lake Te Anau, Fiordland, NZ, March 2015. Six years on along with WEG researchers @SebHoepker and @woodunderground we are returning to Mt Luxmore and other S. Island sites in order to establish a cave monitoring network spanning NZ and the S. Pacific @SpeleoQuest
