So much to think about after "Not all that glitters is green" by Verónica Zuccarelli Freire. A powerful reminder that the costs of the energy transition are not shared equally, especially in the #Andes. True climate action requires environmental justice.

Pit without finds = worthless pit? Investigating a Roman military camp from Caesar's Gallic Wars (58 – 51 BC) near Hermeskeil (Germany). This is one of the rare instances of published non-results for biomarkers. Not all good data validate your hypothesis!

Nature research paper: Recurrent humid phases in Arabia over the past 8 million years

https://go.nature.com/4jja0k2

Recurrent humid phases in Arabia over the past 8 million years - Nature

A climatic record from desert speleothems shows that the central Arabian interior experienced recurrent humid intervals over the past 8 million years, which likely facilitated mammalian dispersals between Africa and Eurasia.
