Paper alert! V pleased to announce my latest paper "The relative role of direct orbital forcing versus CO2 & ice feedbacks on Quaternary climate", in Nature Communications - doi.org/10.1038/s414..., with @natalieslord.bsky.social, @climatesamwell.bsky.social, @thefosterlab.bsky.social + many others!
Aerosols are very small, have a high surface to volume ratio and can readily reach super saturation. This combination makes them a unique environment for chemical reactions. We had a paper published in JACS that looked into the rate of chemical reactions within and on aerosols.
👏 Heroic effort to extract a H₂ record from ice cores 👏
The samples had to measured in the field immediately after drilling (i.e. fresh out the oven 🥮) to prevent the tiny H₂ molecules from leaking out.

Kyushu U today to give a talk at the Center for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (COAR), RIAM. Very happily my visit coincides with peak Sakura! Here’s my gracious host Prof Toshi Takemura showing all the beauty.
A nice trip to MRI in Tsukuba to attend Stephanie Fiedler’s seminar (and to talk with Stephanie and her host Naga Oshima)
Happy to be at #CMIP26 with my Bristol colleagues. Always amazing to come to the Kokukaisaikan in Kyoto.
This is such a clear visualization of where we are now. From a recent Copernicus report
