Great talk by Dr Romain Vaucher from James cook uni - on using sediment records from shallow water systems to help understand the habitats and environments of fossils and understanding climate change. Thanks for showing the complex Fitzroy estuary in central qld, Romain.

Hi new followers! 👋
I’m a sedimentologist studying Earth surface processes and how (paleo)climate shapes our planet. 🌍 In a recent study, we found that climate drove repeated advances of a deltaic system ~51 million years ago, during Earth’s hothouse conditions. 🔥 (1/4)

Our new open access paper is out in Geology 📖🔓! Our findings suggest that climate-driven sediment supply variations during the Early Eocene Climate Optimum 🌡 played a more significant role than changes in accommodation space in controlling the Tremp basin's stratigraphy: doi.org/10.1130/G525...
