I had the great pleasure to co-supervise Leny Montheil, a PhD student in Montpellier in the GAARAnti project. He showed a tectonic history of the NE Caribbean region that's spectacularly more complex than we thought, helping understanding modern biology! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

If climate models predict that much of tropical Africa will become wetter with a warming climate, then why does it keep getting drier in the Horn of Africa? A new paper in Nature by Allix Baxter & others sheds light on this question🤔

Why would we look 75,000 years in the past to learn something about modern droughts in the Horn of Africa? Our new paper, published today in Nature, explains why. A thread! (1/9)

Wow! A new NESSC achievement!

In their Nature article Allix Baxter and Francien Peterse (@FP_GDGT) of Geosciences UU show a remarkable climate tipping point.

Their study helps to explain intensifying drought conditions in the Horn of Africa.

In our last explanatory video of this year (sad trombone) Marjolein Naudé explains what happened to the four kilometer high roof over the Pyrenees.

Where did it go? Because four kilometer high climbs would be fun, low on oxygen, but fun?
