If you are interested in biodiversity in deep time, check out my new preprint with @rachelwarnock.bsky.social and @dralexdunhill.bsky.social! We review methods of quantifying diversity and diversification, using the fossil record and phylogenies with extinct tips 🐚🦕📊

Last week, Palaeo@Leeds PHR @annabel-nicholls.bsky.social gave a fantastic talk on her NERC funded research on the recovery of marine ecosystems following the Permo-Triassic mass extinction to the Leeds Geologists Association.

Over its multimillion-year history, multiple planetary cooling mechanisms working together were required to push Earth into 'icehouse' conditions and to form ice caps.

See our new paper on this here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Professor Benjamin Mills is one of the finalists for the 2025 Blavatnik Awards for Physical Sciences and Engineering in the UK! 👏

He's nominated for his accomplishments in Earth System Modelling, through which he's developed our understanding of Earth's evolution.

Had a great evening, speaking to @geologyglasgow.bsky.social about modelling fossil food webs across mass extinction and recovery for the @thepalass.bsky.social Innovations in Palaeontology series. A really interesting group, full of questions and interesting stories. Thanks for having me folks!
