The GP3 Lab

News and Updates

1) AGU Fall Meeting 2023: Several presentations from GP3 lab members (well, just me at the moment) and collaborators will be given at the AGU Fall Meeting 2023. Check them out!

• PP51D-1101: Did the Westerlies Move and Strengthen Over the Last Glacial Cycle?

  • Grace Tulinsky et al. (Poster).

• EP53C-1688: Unlocking the provenance of the Upper Miocene to Holocene southern South American loess record through U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology.

  • Alex Pullen et al. (Poster).

• PP31A-05: Investigating the drivers of subarctic North Pacific Ocean export productivity and deep ocean oxygenation across the Pliocene and earliest Pleistocene

  • Jordan Abell et al. (Oral).

• PP51D-1102: What can the organic geochemistry of Tasman Sea sediments tell us about the Southern Hemisphere westerlies over the last ~150 ky?

  • Jordan Abell et al. (Poster).

2) Beginning August 2024, the GP3 Laboratory will become part of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lehigh University! Check out the “Opportunities” page for more information if you are:

• Interested in pursuing a M.S. or Ph.D. focused on studying the Earth System in the past.

• A Lehigh undergraduate who will be around for the 2024-2025 academic school year and would like some research experience.

About the GP3 Laboratory

Our group performs research spanning the fields of paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, geology, and archaeology. To investigate this broad range of topics, we combine geochemical measurements (with a specific focus on noble gases) with climate modeling and field work. This interdisciplinary approach allows us to investigate a variety of questions, such as:

• What was atmospheric and ocean circulation like during a warmer-than-present world?

• How did the land, ocean, and atmosphere interact over the last several million years?

• Can we identify new feedbacks between the climate system and ever-changing landscapes?

• How and when did humans begin to domesticate animals?
