~930,000 years ago the population of our ancestors crashed by almost 99% - to fewer than 1,300 individuals

Tipping points don't queue politely. Cross one - like Greenland Ice-Sheet collapse - and it can shove others over in a domino-like cascade

The climate isn't separate switches - it's a web

That's what keeps me awake at night

8,000 years ago, post-glacial uplift of Scandinavia destabilised the seabed off Norway

A giant underwater landslide sent a tsunami 20m high across Shetland and 30km inland in Scotland

Climate change can move the very floor of the sea

Highly suggestive of deeptime #bushman #cosmology: traces of ancient collagen protein from the common #eland (Taurotragus oryx), a species of antelope, on a 60,000-year-old ochre-rich surface in the Kilpdrift Complex.

🤩 Yet another great design for the workshop icon. 🌊 SEA-SURGE 🪸 now has a visual identity of its own. The workshop will take place in February... and if you’d like to have one here in Erlangen, keep an eye out for the upcoming call for applications this fall! #Earth #DeepTime #MMR

9,000 years ago, a Neolithic village off northern Israel built the world's first sea wall to fight rising post-glacial seas. They lost

The seas are rising again - fast - but we can still stop the worst

At peak ice age, so much water was locked up in the ice sheets that a land area bigger than India, Canada and the US combined was exposed — its name Aquaterra

The sea redrew the world map before. It's about to do so again

In the last interglacial, 125,000y ago, it was hot enough for hippos in Yorkshire, while crocodiles swam in Berkeley Square - well London anyway. That world was less than 1°C hotter than today

The cliffs at Staithes hold the type section of the Cleveland Ironstone: five Early Jurassic cycles of shale, each capped by an iron seam.

“North Yorkshire In Verse – Moor To Shore In Poetry” has Staithes for the cliffs and Redcar for the furnaces.
