In the field of paleoclimatology, our overarching objective is to use the geologic record to understand how Earth’s climate system operates. Paleoceanography may focus on the role of the oceans in past climates, or on the history of related ocean…
Last spring, Scott Noakes approached student Grace Maavere with a special project. Maavere, an undergraduate majoring in marine science, had earned a fine arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design before coming to UGA. Noakes thought she…
Preparing for the Pyrocene begins with becoming someone others will want beside them when the lights go out. But what if the events aren’t the story? What if the changing relationships producing them are? And what if the real question…

A paper recently published in PLOS Climate investigated the effect of historical emissions from major cement, coal, gas, and oil producers on climate across several future emissions pathways. Recently, several studies have developed datasets and methods to attribute present and…
Evidence found of two geological events that apparently had no connection There are iconic places all around the planet that people visit without ever really learning their origin, or what or how they were created. One of the best known…
When the scientists were studying the core sediment for traces of ancient forests, they used strong acids that dissolve away everything except organic material. At first, they were interested in the pollen and spores that remained, aiming to get an…
The story of Lake Agassiz reveals how quickly a changing climate can reshape landscapes, ecosystems and human civilisation Thirteen thousand years ago, much of North America was covered in a giant lake now known as Lake Agassiz. Great lobes of…
The time window in which the Earth stopped being a meteorite hell has been identified, creating the first stable zones for the chemistry of life. Imagine the newly born Earth: 4.5 billion years ago it was a scorching world, still shocked…
