Ganoid scales and fish teeth can be found around the world and through deep time. By creating a classification of the preservation of these fossils, distinctive patterns were discovered. Analysing the abrasion of these objects can tell us more about the energy level of the environment and how far the fossils were transported post mortem. To verify my hypothesis, an experimental approach is now in the works using specimens from different geological epochs. If successful, aquatic paleoenvironments can be interpreted in high detail.

The South Pacific was the final frontier of human colonisation on Earth. Human migration across the Pacific occurred in two waves, the first starting around 3000 yr BP and then after a long pause of 2000 years, the second occurred at approximately 1000 yr BP. Reasons for these migrations are contested, but climate is increasingly thought to have been a factor. This work utilised a combination of multi-proxy palaeo records and socio-ecological modelling to investigate the role of climate in the timing of migration and colonisation in the tropical South Pacific. The key finding from the palaeoenvironmental records is evidence for a shift towards dry conditions around the second wave of human migration into Eastern Polynesia and again in the relatively early stages of colonisation. The model outputs suggest that drought has a greater impact on population dynamics the closer to the absolute carrying capacity the population gets and that severity of the drought rather than the frequency is the key factor determining the impact of a drought on agricultural outputs and population dynamics.

Dr. Peter Neff is an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota who specializes in ice core paleoclimatology, particularly recovering some of the newest and most difficult new ice core samples in the last decade, from challenging and remote parts of Antarctica as well as the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Peter received his BSc and MSc from the University of Washington and his PhD from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) winds drive upwelling-induced productivity in the western as well as the eastern Arabian Sea. The subsequent degradation of the organic matter is linked to the occurrence of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) and carbonate preservation. Using multiproxy data from the assemblage and stable isotope ratios of foraminifera (planktic and benthic), and the preservation state of pteropods, my research focused on reconstructing oceanographic variability in the eastern Arabian Sea since the late Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3. The results show that solar insolation, regional wind strength, sea-level, and continental influx of fresh water modulated productivity, carbon cycling, coastal hypoxia and OMZ dynamics in the eastern Arabian Sea, leaving distinct imprints on the microfaunal communities like foraminifera and pteropods.
