NEWS:

4/7/10: The European Geophysical Union General Assembly gives us another opportunity to showcase our work on The Recognition of Multi-Decadal Scale Climate Variability in the Paleo-Record Over the Past 1000 Years.

3/12/10: HOT OFF THE PRESS Swart, P. K., L. Greer, B. E. Rosenheim, C. S. Moses, A. J. Waite, A. Winter, R. E. Dodge, and K. Helmle (2010), The ¹³C Suess effect in scleractinian corals mirror changes in the anthropogenic CO₂ inventory of the surface oceans, Geophys. Res. Lett., 37, L05604, doi:10.1029/2009GL041397. Even made AGU journal highlights!

1/15/10: Miami hosts a CLIVAR workshop aimed at predicting climate in the coming decades. It was a great opportunity to show off some of the potential paleo archives offer for our understanding of multi-decadal scale climate variability!

12/18/09: Another Fall American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco comes to an end. The Stable Isotope Lab represented very well!

10/30/09: Peter and I participated in the Past, Present, and Future Climate Change Drivers and Everglades Restoration Workshop hosted by FIU, the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER and the South Florida Water Management District.

6/13/09: Undertook an expedition to the Monster Coral (for a non-scientific description of the specimen, click here) aboard the R/V Vigilante with Cpt. Rosenberg. All trials and tribulations aside, it was a great success!

12/20/08: Having returned from the Fall American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, CA, a hectic year of travel and meetings winds to a close...

11/14/08: Helping out and participating in the IMBIZO meeting in Coconut Grove this week proved to be a good opportunity to look at marine biogeochemistry in a changing climate from a new perspective.

7/20/08: Goldschmidt in Vancouver, Canada has also concluded. It was a great meeting and got lots of new ideas circulating. Also, absolutely beautiful area!

7/11/08: The International Coral Reef Symposium winds down and so concludes my first talk for an international meeting.

6/17/08: HOT OFF THE PRESS Waite, A. J., S. J. Gibbs, L. Diester-Haass, R. E. M. Rickaby, and K. Billups (2008), A top-down and bottom-up comparison of paleoproductivity proxies: Calcareous nannofossil Sr/Ca ratios and benthic foraminiferal accumulation rates, Geochem. Geophys. Geosyst., 9, Q06005, doi:10.1029/2007GC001812.

4/28/08: Just returned from CLIMECO workshop in Brest, France. A number of new avenues to pursue. And many thanks to everyone involved!
