Last year, paleontologist Dr. Vera Korasidis went on an archaeological dig looking for pollen in plant fossils in the Wyoming Badlands. Her findings tell a story of a hotter planet in the past, and a warning for the future. Tap to learn more in Pursuit ➡️ unimelb.me/48eXyvY

Excited to see our new paper published in GRL. Using multiple proxies (Mg/Ca, δ¹⁸O, TEX₈₆), we reconstruct ~4°C of cooling in the North Atlantic during the Eocene - but find that east-west temperature gradients in the North Atlantic are decoupled!
