The iconic 15-metre-long megatooth shark known as megalodon – who reigned the world’s waters up to 3.6 million years ago – may have been warm-blooded in some of its body parts. newscientist.com/article/237980…

👀 A short piece on an exciting recent paper by Griffiths, Eagle, and @SoraLKim et al that I had the pleasure of writing for PNASNews is live… check it out: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107… and go read the original paper! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🦈🦷🔬

The world is on track to experience its warmest August on record, beating the prior record set in 2016 by a fairly large margin. This further increases the likelihood that 2023 will be the warmest year since global records began in the mid-1800s.

Thrilled for you and the group! Annabel Wolf

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

Our paper on 2k hydroclimate is out today in Nature Geoscience! w/an incredible team of Past Global Changes #Iso2k co-authors, incl Nick McKay Dr Georgy Falster Sam Stevenson Matthew Jones Jonathan Tyler Kristine Delong Elizabeth Thomas Dr. Sylvia Dee Thomas Opel (Check also Mastodon and Bluesky!) @HSayani nature.com/articles/s4156… [1/2]

Just out, a 66 million year history of atmospheric CO2. Key take away: CO2 hasn't been at today's levels for at least 3 million years. These high CO2 worlds in the geological past had less ice and *much* higher sea levels 📈🌊 #COP28 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

After 10 years in the sciences, my first ever paper just got published I was fortunate enough to be a co-author on (led by the awesome Molly Karnes and @SoraLKim)! Some cool highlights (1/5) authors.elsevier.com/c/1iFoy73N~AU~o

Back from an amazing couple of weeks attending a PEMSEA workshop and conducting fieldwork in the Philippines. Made new friends, established future collaborations, and visited some caves!

In our new paper, we investigate diet-tissue and tissue-tissue zinc isotope fractionation in gilt-head seabreams and discuss the implications for ecological studies using this new dietary proxy. Klervia Jaouen @BourgonNicolas Théo Tacail and more. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Fohlin’s husband, John Latting, is the Emory Dean of Admissions. This is going to be an interesting night in Emory University’s top administrative echelons.

Excellent Carbon Brief article by Vince Cooper and Kyle Armour discussing their recent paper finding that new estimates from the last glacial maximum suggest that high climate sensitivity (>4C per doubling CO2) may be less likely than previously thought: carbonbrief.org/guest-post-ice…

Check out this important new study by the wonderful Elizabeth Patterson out today!

Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A thread
