Our new paper on the contemporary isotope hydrology of Lake Suigetsu, Japan. Huge amount of effort by several people, especially Charlie, in an attempt to underpin isotope based climate reconstructions from this amazing archive.

Globally coherent water cycle response to temperature change during the past two millennia. Some fantastic research by Past Global Changes Iso2k, including our own Greg Skrzypek #isotopes #water School of Biological Sciences, UWA, including also Dr Georgy Falster Jonathan Tyler

the paper is a global synthesis of water isotope proxy data for the past 2000 years. it shows, empirically, a strong influence of global temperature on the global water cycle, on timescales of decades to centuries.

cool, huh.

Today in Nature Geoscience, a culmination of NINEish years of hard work by 40+ people, lead by the indefatigable Dr. Bronwen Konecky

Iso2k is the source of & inspiration for some of my best science, and definitely the source of some of my favourite science people.

The nutshell: We synthesized globally distributed, water isotope based proxies for hydroclimate during the past two millennia, and found coherent changes in the water cycle as the planet cooled then warmed. See also this nice writeup from WUSTLnews source.wustl.edu/2023/11/study-… [2/2]

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!)

I'm going to repost this thread, with the explainer that a lecturer in Australia is the same as an Assistant Professor elsewhere. #palaeoclimate #climate #isotopes #sediments #Quaternary #palaeoenvironments

Looks like a good position, and good on the university for reporting salary (and pension!) details right up front in the job ad.

Past Global Changes 2k friends I'm looking at you: come to beautiful Adelaide, where you'd become a significant part of the Aus 2k isotope-climate community.

It's 4 (well-paid) years, so definitely worth the move from whatever continent you're reading this from
