paleoclimate, biomarkers, human evolution | assistant prof at Aarhus University | 🇺🇸 in 🇩🇰
- Join us this summer at @au.dk! @vivikathrine.bsky.social and I will be running our summer course, Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Climate Change, including bioscience, economy, consumer behavior, agroecology, public health and more! ☀️Apply by March 17th to join us from July 27th - August 9th☀️
- Reposted by Rachel Lupien📢📢PhD position available!! 📢📢 "Improving future climate prediction through modelling and data of Earth’s past" At the University of Bristol, UK. More details and how to apply: shorturl.at/wKh2W ..or message me here directly.
- New paper out in @egu.eu's Climate of the Past together with economists (@mbennedsen.bsky.social @erichillebrand.bsky.social) to apply their rate prediction tools to the Cenozoic stack for detecting the timing and duration of breakpoints. Really fun. @au.dk cp.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
- On my way back from @uio.no where I served (for the first time!) as a PhD opponent with new pal @sallieburrough.bsky.social. We dug deep into the work of @davidkwright.bsky.social's student (now) Dr. Aljasil Chirakkal on Central Asian Pleistocene paleo-environments. Learned a lot!
- I'm looking for a driven PhD student to join us at @au.dk and to both generate new paleoclimate data in the lab and work on computational problems to understand climate relationships across timescales. Get in touch if you'd like to hear more, and apply by Nov 1! phd.nat.au.dk/for-applican...
- We’ve just started the second week of our summer course ‘Climate Change: Cross-Disciplinary Challenges and Solutions’! We have experts from different fields visit each day to provide new perspectives on the climate crisis, and students work in groups on case studies from different sectors 🌍 @au.dk
- Thrilled (and honored!) that Prof. Cat Beck from Hamilton College visited me at @au.dk during her sabbatical in Cologne. Cat and I have worked in Turkana, specifically on the HSPDP Lake Turkana drill core, for many years. It was great to catch up and talk about fun new things!
- We’re in Azerbaijan for field work! I’m collecting biomarker samples from a beautiful sediment sequence in the Azykh cave, where hominins lived over hundreds of thousands of years (we think, lol 😝). Downright honored to be a part of this team in this stunning landscape.
- Today my new seminar course Cenozoic Paleoclimate begins! We'll be traveling through time(scale) from the PETM to ENSO reading foundational and state-of-the-art papers. Students will lead discussions and develop a project proposal to fill a knowledge gap 💡 Ooo goodness, I'm excited. @au.dk
- Talked about Zachos et al 2001, Westerhold et al 2020, and CenCO2PIP 2023 today. A lot? Yes. Very exciting and fun imho? Also yes. This was a Cenozoic overview to kick us off. On to the PETM next week! 🧊🥵
- This week we tackled the PETM! 🌡️ Triggers, feedbacks, responses, oh my! I assigned Dickens et al 1995 and Zachos et al 2005, and the student leading the discussion chose to add Bowen et al 2004 for the terrestrial perspective.

View full thread... and will get reviews on their proposals before their 'interview'. I've been taking the very intense @au.dk pedagogy course this semester, which has taught me the power of constructive alignment, feedback, scaffolding, and more. I can't wait to see what the students come up with!
- Check out some nice coverage of my DFF-funded Sapere Aude project to start this October! @au.dk @aarhusuniint.bsky.social dff.dk/hvad-har-vi-...
