Here's how a change in climate made Australia's giant kangaroos vanish
By Ahmed Yussuf

A new peer-reviewed study has found that, unlike modern kangaroos, the extinct marsupial megafauna Protemnodon were less mobile, which they believe, along with a change in climate, led to their extinction.

Now the Netherlands are also cutting in funding for #academia, which notably translates in the planned closing of the #EarthSciences department at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Because what we really need now is less research in physical #geography, climatology, geology, glaciology...

Delta · ‘Closing VU earth sciences sends exactly the wrong message’ - DeltaThe planned closure of the VU Department of Earth Sciences is disastrous for geoscience research and education. That is what TU Delft professors Timo Heimovaara and Sebastian Geiger write in this solidarity statement on behalf of their Department of Geosciences and Engineering.

International Polar Year (Earth sciences 🌍)

The International Polar Years are collaborative, international efforts with intensive research focus on the polar regions. Karl Weyprecht, an Austro-Hungarian naval officer, motivated the endeavor in 1875, but died before it first occurred in 1882–1883. Fifty years later a second IPY took place. The International Geophy...

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Some second-hand treasures: The Great #Comet Crash: The Collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and #Jupiter from Cambridge UP, and two books from Rutgers UP: Upheaval from the Abyss: #Ocean Floor Mapping and the Earth Science Revolution (sans dust jacket), and Mass Destruction: The Men and Giant #Mines That Wired America and Scarred the Planet #Books #Scicomm #Bookstodon #Astronomy #Oceanography #Geology #EarthSciences #EnvironmentalHistory #History @bookstodon

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, standing up, The Great Comet Crash, showing a picture of Jupiter taken with a telescope. In the middle, lying down, Upheaval from the Abyss, showing a marine blue spine with silver lettering (the dust jacket is missing). On the right, standing up, Mass Destruction, showing an golden/honey coloured aerial photo of an open-pit mine. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

Geochemistry (Earth sciences 🌍)

Geochemistry is the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth's crust and its oceans.: 1 The realm of geochemistry extends beyond the Earth, encompassing the entire Solar System, and has made important contributions to the understanding of a number of processes including mantle convection, the forma...

Paleontology (Earth sciences 🌍)

Paleontology, also spelled palaeontology or palæontology, is the scientific study of the history of life in the geologic past. It includes the study of fossils to classify organisms and study their interactions with each other and their environments. Paleontological observations have been documented as far back as the 5th century BC. The s...

I've had the fortune to study with some of the greatest Geographers at both the University of Washington and at UCSB. While visiting the UCSB Geography dept website today, I came across the very sad news that Jeff Dozier is no longer with us. He was an amazing professor, and was able to describe really complex concepts. He also had a great sense of humor.

Jeff taught me why the sky is blue, mathmatically.
