#WeekendReading: Chen et al. on magnesium isotopes in cold seep carbonates, and what it might tell us about the dolomite formation pathways there. Not fully in on the model, but it's good someone finally did this properly.

#WeekendReading: Han et al., on how African topography influenced the relationship between the Somali jet and the South Asian Monsoon.

My dear friend Dana is a very talented freelance #programmer who writes custom apps for #scientific #research. If that sort of service would be useful for you, check the info below.

Sidebar: If you're asking for science that will provide you with something that will do something you would like to have. you're not looking for science, you're looking for engineering.

#WeekendReading: Li et al., on the complex relationship between monsoons, deep-sea mixing, and carbon burial in the Bay of Bengal.

Just for the record, my students (and posdocs I co-mentor) are awesome.

#WeekendReading: Fernex et al. on the rate of #ammonia production in the #sediment and the amount and composition of #organic matter coming from the overlaying #water column.

Just saying. if you apply for a job in another country. maybe first check if you meet the criteria to get a visa to that country.

#WeekendReading: Abed El Rahman et al. on #ClimateChange risks in #coastal and open #sea Mediterranean #ecosystems. Interestingly, they consider coralligenous and rocky coasts to be more resilient to the effects of warming and acidification. Link:

I got an #OpenPosition (fully funded) for a PhD student/postdoc in #marine #biogeochemistry. As part of the MARBEDS project, we are looking for someone to study #seafloor fluxes and their interactions with #microbial communities in #biodiversity hotspots. Contact me for details.

#WeekendReading: Liu et al. about how long #water spends in coastal waters and their exchange rate with the open #ocean. Link:

RT @PHDcomics: A guide to academic denominations

#WeekendReading: Wang et al., about #methane emissions during marine environmental perturbations before the end-Triassic mass #extinction.

We interrupt the planned programming to let everyone know we have a new paper out! 🚨.Led by Cécile Figus, this work explores what governs the distribution of deep-sea diatom-bearing sediment across the Paleogene. Link:

Celebrating the career of Christian Betzler at the 38th IMS (@sedimentology) meeting.

#Weekendreading: Spatola et al., on the distribution of pockmarks around the Mediterranean.

Poster session wrapping up the first day of the 38th International Meeting of Sedimentology ( @sedimentology ). Good talks, long lunch break, and plantly of interesting meetings.

#WeekendReading: Leaist et al., on the molecular diffusion coefficient of phosphoric acid in #water. Not the most exciting read, but I may need to wrap my head around that dynamic. Link:

Meet Ismat and follow them as they try to navigate their identity, workplace romance, their mom, and somehow thwart a conservative conspiracy. Amazon: B2R: #ScienceFiction | #Books

A special #WeekendReading for the date - my dissertation. An unhinged monograph written with too much coffee and not enough sleep about cycliciy, evaporite sequence stratigraphy, and environmental reconstruction of the awesomely named Triassic Mohilla Fm.
