Come see what we are up to at the GSA Annual Meeting:

Wes Ingram's (UNC Ph.D.) study investigating gas hydrate stability, its impact on slope sedimentation, and potential linkages to climate change (view abstract)

Bo He's (UNC M.S.) macrocosm experiments to assess the biogeochemical impact of iron availability on organic matter burial (view abstract)

Kristin Larkins' (UNC M.S.) presentation on the analysis of Mississippian age tidal rhytmites via XRF-scanning (view abstract)

Brad Cramer's (OSU Ph.D) talk on the development of Silurian astrochronologies (view abstract)

My latest work on the analysis of orbital forcing during Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (view abstract)

"Quasi-periodic climate teleconnections between northern and southern Europe during the 17th-20th centuries", by Meyers and Pagani published in the journalGlobal and Planetary Change.

August 8, 2006:

In collaboration with colleagues at Northwestern University, a series of presentations on the theme of Oceanic Anoxic Event II will be delivered at the upcoming Annual GSA Meeting in Philadelphia.

Links to the meeting abstracts:
CAUSAL MECHANISMS FOR OAE'S I: THE ROLE OF IRON?
CAUSAL MECHANISMS FOR OAE'S II: THE ROLE OF WEATHERING?
CAUSAL MECHANISMS FOR OAE'S III: THE ROLE OF PHOSPHOROUS?

May 24, 2006:

As the centerpiece of the new Laboratory for High-Resolution Sedimentary Geochemistry(HSG-Lab),anAvaatechX-Ray Fluorescence Core-Scanner is scheduled to be installed in Fall 2006. The instrumentation will be used to develop highly resolved (millimeter-scale) paleoclimate and paleoceanographic proxy records from sediment and rock cores.

April 7, 2006:

With special thanks to Gary Isaksen (ExxonMobil Exploration Company), ExxonMobil has donated thirty-five pristine sediment cores from the eastern North Atlantic. Geochemical and sedimentological studies of the new cores will be used to address linkages between paleoclimate change, paleoceanography and sedimentation in the eastern North Atlantic region.
