New paper from my colleague and friend Julio Cauhy, reconstructing extreme rainfall events in Southern Brazil over the past 7.5 ka. Julio and colleagues combined cave monitoring with painstaking petrography and careful U-Th dating to analyse detrital flood layers in speleothems from Malfazido cave. They found that extreme rainfall events are influenced by Antarctic-tropical teleconnections, and that El Nino events had an important contribution in the last millennium. It's a fantastic piece of work!

This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought a discounted copy of Thomas Piketty's brick Capital and Ideology (that's what reading about degrowth gets you into...), bought an original (not print-on-demand) copy of the Imbries' classical #ScienceHistory book on the discovery of the #IceAges, and bought a discounted copy of The #Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist's Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System on NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.

Great to see work by colleagues in the media! They are trying to understand the flood history of the Sydney basin, critical when the floodplain has become so heavily developed.
