#introduction
Hi everyone! I just transferred over from climatejustice.rocks, which was set up during the massive influx of users in Nov. 2022, but is going to stop functioning at the end of this year. I'm a #professor in #Florida, United States, who studies marine records of #ClimateChange and the #carbon cycle. I post about these studies, about related studies, and a lot about equity issues. I am also a citizen. I am #antifascist, and I believe that our #ClimateEmergency is caused by and will not be solved by #capitalism. I apologize in advance if you just wanted to hear about science - I cannot disentangle climate issues from justice issues, and I don't believe anyone who thinks they can!
However, I would like more information on transferring pinned posts from the old account to this one. I had pinned some threads on papers and expeditions that I thought were interesting and which would be hard to recreate. Anyone have any #FediTips for that?
@lavergnetho It is a problem many young scientists have, but it is also a founding principle in one of the radiocarbon dating methods I have developed! In the latter case, it is a benefit rather than a problem, as many people can precisely date the mixture of organic carbon in sediments very precisely, but the precise age of the mixture is often inaccurate to any given process that contributes to the mixture. So, it is important to unmix in various ways, and any of those processes result in less precision. What would you rather have precision or accuracy?!? (I like making my students think about these routine questions as they get into their research - you know, the questions we thought we understood in high school but are actually quite a bit more nuanced than we previously understood!)
