Congratulations to #BEASTLab alum @DulcineaGroff, whose first PhD paper was accepted just as she’s about to drive to Wyoming to start a new postdoc with @WyClimate! It’s the first of a few #FalklandsPaleo papers currently in review.

For this paper, Dulcinea tested how well modern tussac grass leaves capture the chemistry of seasonal rainfall. It turns out, really well! Tussac forms thick peatlands on islands in the South Atlantic, so in the future, we can analyze ancient leaves and recreate past climates.
You can learn more about tussac and the fascinating ecosystems of the Falklands by following #TussacTuesday, @SAERI_FI, and @FI_Conservation.
This work was made possible by hundreds of crowd-founders via @lets_experiment, and by #IsoCamp, a great isotope science short course.
