Fantastic research from Prof Tom Gernon: “Studying geological events offers valuable insights that can help us grasp how the Earth may respond to future climatic and environmental stresses.”

NEW: Gold is found as big nuggets in quartz veins—and we have never known why. Now we have a shocking answer: electricity, made by earthquakes shaking quartz, is gathering particles of gold and growing them into shiny nuggets. Earth is wild.

Great to see our Prof Prof Tom Gernon appear in IFLScience this week. It was for his latest study which showed how a “geological tag team” triggered one of the most tumultuous times in marine life history 🌊🌎🐟 Read it here👇 iflscience.com/catastrophic-a… OceanEarthUniSoton ExploringOurOcean

Enhanced chemical weathering following continental breakup may have driven a succession of Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events, according to tectonic and biogeochemical modelling presented in Nature Geoscience. go.nature.com/4cVXQdf

My latest: paper by Kasbohm et al is remarkable for 3 reasons: 1 it upends ideas on the trigger for climate warming in Miocene; 2 it’s the 1st successful radiometric dating of *sediments* drilled from beneath the seabed; 3 it confirms orbital models! arstechnica.com/science/2024/0…

75 million years ago the US featured swim-through states rather than fly-over states. Great map by @paleoedits and #badgeographyjoke by myself.

NEW: Mount Everest isn't just the world's tallest mountain; it's freakishly tall, towering above its neighbouring peaks. But why? It turns out that a river has washed away so much rock that the mountain is 'floating' higher on the mantle! Me NYT Science nytimes.com/2024/09/30/sci…

I often think about my work, what I'm feeling passionate about, & whether I'm spending my time in a way that feels meaningful and which I think is good for the world. I know many of you think about this stuff, too. Here are nine exercises that can help. medium.com/@ltelkins/re-t…

Thought provoking & inspiring WIRED UK article on ARIA: "Every breakthrough eventually boils down to brilliant people working on fiendishly tricky problems." wired.com/story/aria-moo…

Excellent video summarising our colleague Professor Juerg Matter's remarkable The Earthshot Prize winning research on capturing carbon - come to University of Southampton to learn about this planet saving science as part of an undergraduate degree! youtu.be/mRFZ-yBBx40?fe…

Huge congrats to ARIA advisor Demis Hassabis. Breaking through the barrier of winning a nobel outside academia is rare, but this may be the first case in history of the award going to an entrepreneur whose nobel work was done in the company they founded. Hopefully first of many!
