The Polynesian “Long Pause” lasted 1,700 years. Then, around 900 CE, a mega-drought hit Samoa and Tonga just as rain increased eastward. New sediment data suggests thirsty islands, not myth, sent voyagers into the Pacific. #Archaeology #Polynesia #Paleoclimate https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-long-pause-that-ended-in-drought

A hearth at 2,320m in the Pyrenees was burning charcoal 10,000 years ago. A new open-access radiocarbon database of 124 dates shows the high mountains were never empty, just persistently misread. #Archaeology #Paleoclimate #Pyrenees https://www.anthropology.net/p/a-10000-year-radiocarbon-record-shows

New climate modeling: the catastrophic droughts that stress-tested the Classic Maya may have needed no volcanic eruption, no solar minimum — just the climate system doing what it does. A thread on what this means. #Archaeology #Paleoclimate #Maya https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-maya-drought-that-no-one-triggered

A reminder, American Geophysical Union honours nominations are open at the moment! The AGU Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology section have three Honours available, for all career stages. Do you know of any AGU paleoclimate section members who could be nominated? Please share... #geology #Earthscience #paleoclimate #Paleoceanography

New paper out today by my #MPIC colleague (and officemate/friend) Sam Nicholson, who looked at the climatic constraints on speleothem deposition in SW Asia - to the surprise of no-one who spends any time thinking about speleothem deposition, it's not straightforward!

A slow shift in Pacific rainfall around 1,000 years ago dried Western Polynesia and wetted the east. New climate records suggest Polynesian expansion followed freshwater gradients, not collapse. #PaleoClimate #Archaeology #Polynesia #HumanMigration https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-the-rains-moved-east

New climate modeling shows the Harappan world shifted not through sudden collapse but centuries of recurring drought. A story of resilience, adaptation, and the limits of river civilizations. #Archaeology #Paleoclimate #IndusValley #Anthropology https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-rivers-faded-climate-whiplash

If you are free today at 4 pm (UK time), join us for the first Computational and Digital Archaeology #seminar of the term at Cambridge Archaeology (you can also join via zoom).

🔗 https://www.arch.cam.ac.uk/events/computational-and-digital-archaeology-laboratory-series/palaeoecology-made-easy-two-new-tools

I'll talk about #paleoecology, #paleoclimate, #bigdata in #archeology, and these tools:
#pastclim https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ecog.06481
#tidysdm https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.24.550358v1 #CDAL #ComputationalArchaeology #EcologicalNicheModelling #SpeciesDistributionModelling #webinar

Our #pastclim paper is now officially out in an
issue of Ecography!

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ecog.06481

We made #paleoclimate easily available, what are you waiting to use it for your project? 😉

If you wonder where to start, here you find all the info you need
https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/index.html

#pastclim, our #Rstats package to access and use #paleoclimate is now also available on CRAN!
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pastclim/index.html
To recap:
website: https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/index.html
github: https://github.com/EvolEcolGroup/pastclim
article: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecog.06481
vignette: https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/articles/a0_pastclim_overview.html

Pastclim is created as a platform to easily include the #climate of the past into existing analyses and pipelines in #archaeology, #genetics/#genomics, #ancientDNA, #conservation, #ecology, #evolution, #anthropology and even #linguistics.

I am happy and proud to introduce you to the #newpaper describing #pastclim v 1.2, our #Rstats #package to easily access and use #paleoclimate
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ecog.06481 now out in Ecography

Do you use #pastclim or are considering using it to work with #paleoclimate?

Now you can get all the updates by following this #ReseachGate #project
https://researchgate.net/project/pastclim-an-R-package-to-easily-access-and-use-paleoclimatic-reconstructions

or, as before, by looking at the website:

#archeology #ecology #evolution #climate

If you are in #Cambridge tomorrow, I will be at the #Archaeology Department to talk about

"Integrating #paleoclimate into the study of the past"

I will also be presenting #pastclim v. 1.1, our #Rpackage to extract and manipulate past #climate data:
https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/

#paleoclimate can be a great resource for studies in #archaeology, #genetics/#genomics, #ancientDNA, #conservation, #ecology, #evolution, #anthropology and even #linguistics. #pastclim allows including it easily in existing analyses and pipelines.

Here is the preprint describing version 1.0 but stay tuned for an updated manuscript hopefully out soon! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.05.18.492456v1

Please, for the version 1.1.0 refer to the material in https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim or https://github.com/EvolEcolGroup/pastclim

If you work with #paleoclimate, you will be happy to see that #pastclim 1.1 is now out!

https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/

We have many new functions, now summarised in a #cheatsheet
https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/pastclim_cheatsheet.pdf

We also explain how to work with custom #paleoclimatic data
https://evolecolgroup.github.io/pastclim/articles/a2_custom_datasets.html
(but if you do, please consider making them available to others, as explained in this vignette)
