Interested in improving our knowledge of climate by looking into the past? In the Pliocene the earth was hotter than today, but carbon dioxide was "about the same".

Come work with us in 2026 looking at where this crucial information comes from, and how to make it better during an M2 internship.
Are you looking for a master's internship (5-6 months)?

Constraining tropical planktonic foraminifera depth habitats in a (past) high-CO2 world 🥵🌎

Come to @climatecerege.bsky.social, south of France☀️🇫🇷

Deadline: 15 Nov 2025.
Start: Jan-Mar 2026.

New paper! Check out @zifeiyang.bsky.social gorgeous data from M2 glaciation (3.3Ma) - stunning Melonis Mg/Ca temperature records allow us to be confident about ice growth, but this was not like later glaciations following iNHG, we think gateways were more important: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Major sea level fall during the Pliocene M2 glaciation - Nature Communications
This study refines benthic foraminiferal Mg/Ca paleothermometry to reduce uncertainties to ±0.2-0.3 °C, which was then applied in Atlantic and Pacific sediment cores to reconstruct Mid-Pliocene M2 gla...

Our researchers have conducted a groundbreaking analysis of prehistoric plankton 🔬

They have revealed how these microscopic organisms adapted to their environment not just across generations, but on a day-to-day basis.

The Pacific Highs remain an under-explored treasure trove of information on past warm climates. Coordinated international efforts are the framework within which these archives can be best explored to address urgent and societally relevant questions regarding future climate change scenarios.
