I’m looking for a PhD student to join my lab @ NC State starting Fall 2026!

Lots of room to develop projects, esp. around paleoceanography, ocean deoxygenation & foraminiferal ecology. Field, lab & computational angles all possible.

Please share with anyone who might be a good fit!

New paper alert 🚨🚨 Here we posit a non-linear relationship between Indian Summer #Monsoon (ISM) intensity & marine productivity in the Bay of #Bengal: extremely weak & strong #ISM states of the last 22,000 yrs were *both* associated with sharp disruptions to primary production! (1/6)

I’ve never seen this before either! The frothiest does look a little to me like the texture when a blob of cytoplasm seems to “crawl away”. But I’ve never seen it in place. How strange!
