Today @Preciouschiwax excavated this amazing #msa blade laying flat and ventral (interior) side up! We record the artefact position and upward surface to tell if the artefacts have been flipped and tumbled once they were discarded.

Our #HERIspotlight shines on Dr Tara Edwards. She's #geologist at UCT who leads the isotope lab at BIOGRIP - a cutting-edge #research facility studying how natural environments have changed over time. Read more about Dr Tara R Edwards: bit.ly/3R4HlTs

We went from January 1 to January 30 in 8 months

Congratulations 🙌🏽🥂🍾 to Dr Rieneke Weij @rienekeweij on the publication of her nature paper!! 📝🤩 We are all really proud of you ☺️ HERI UCT UCT Geology

in our new nature paper, we draw attention to an aspect of Pleistocene glacial climates that has been largely concealed: because of the effect of low atmospheric CO2 on C3 plant growth, low biological productivity (i.e. suppressed tree growth) may misleadingly suggest aridity

Interested in how moisture availability tracked temperature over the past 350 kya? Check out our new nature paper for some surprising conclusions! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Ice ages were not as dry as we thought, according to surprising new Australian cave study theconversation.com/ice-ages-were-… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

New research🚨HERI's @rienekeweij debunks long-held assumptions about ice age climates in the Southern Hemisphere. In nature, it shows ice ages were wetter than today and may have been ideal for plants, animals & early humans over the last 350,000 yrs 👉🏾bit.ly/3HRz4hu

All the #flowstone #love for #ValentinesDay 😍 @rienekeweij Dr Tara R Edwards & new Hons student Nokuthula busy going through our collection of U-Pb and U-Th dated samples for some really cool new projects 💙 It’s wonderful for me to see all these samples at once! 20 years of work

HERI's Winter Seminar returns this week with a look into #Africa's new isotope lab We are joined by Dr Tara R Edwards & #PhD candidate Georgina Luti who share what to expect from #research & capacity development at the ground-breaking facility Details here: bit.ly/48EBKts

HERI research fellow Dr Rieneke Weij @rienekeweij talking about Southern hemisphere climate reconstructions 🤩 And overturning a long held narrative of glacial aridity 🙌🏽 Not all northern hemisphere models apply to the south 💪🏽 UCT UCT Geology EGU Climate Division

Super proud of former HERI UCT Geology student Wendy Khumalo Wendy Khumalo now a #PhD candidate at The University of Science & Technology Trondheim, Norway 🇳🇴 Big crowd at her European Geosciences Union #EGU24 poster on tree rings 🌲🤩 @EGU_BG

We are delighted to launch our official conference website and announce that abstract submission and registration for the 10th International Climate Change: The Karst Record (KR10) conference are now open! Please visit our website here: uctcmc.eventsair.com/the-10th-inter…

📢📢Please visit our website for more information and spread the word! uctcmc.eventsair.com/the-10th-inter… We look forward to welcoming you in South Africa 🇿🇦❤️

Important dates for KR10!

As if spending the week discussing all things karst wasn't enough we have organised some amazing mid-conference field trips so you can enjoy everything Cape Town has to offer!

One more day to submit your abstract if you're wanting to present at KR10 next year in Cape Town!

Abstract submission will close TONIGHT. Final chance to get your abstracts in! We are working hard to organise a fantastic conference. Excited to see you in Cape Town in March 2025! 👩‍🔬👩‍💼🥳
