It started, as all serious scientific thinking does: in a bar. I was reflecting on the nature of time, the essence of life, and our place in the Universe. (I was drunk.) this is what came out... agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #Geoscience #EarthScience #Geology #DeepTime

A parasite doesn't survive without its host. Ecologists have a word for relationships where one partner provides most of the resources while the other captures most of the benefit. Maybe it's time our publishing ecosystem evolved. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2026/07/16/g...

💎New preprint: The Rise of Diamond OA Journals in Earth Sciences A decade ago a few scholar-led, no-fee journals started reimagining Earth science publishing. We map the wins & the fragilities that will decide whether this scales. #OpenAccess #DiamondOA doi.org/10.31223/X56...

Following our latest publication with @romainvaucher.bsky.social in @sedimentologika.bsky.social , we wrote a piece arguing that scientists can, and should, reclaim control over scholarly publishing. A fairer publishing system is not a distant ideal. We scientist can already take action 💎

Ending #EGU26 with a meeting with all @namcodigest.bsky.social and @icdpdrilling.bsky.social NamCore colleagues, to summarize all the new results and plan future collaborations. Great science, great people and great organization! See you next year!

It is #EGU26 kick off and we have a poster up today with @sedimentologika.bsky.social Come say hello and chat about what is best for scientific publishing in X1.149 🔓

📣 It’s a wrap! We are thrilled to announce the release of Sedimentologika Vol. 4 No. 1! Explore the latest Diamond Open Access articles in sedimentology and stratigraphy: 🔗 oap.unige.ch/journals/sdk... 📷 Cover image: Hattori et al., 2026 (oap.unige.ch/journals/sdk...) Stay tuned for more updates!

We joined @ucs.org to sue the Trump administration over a secretive effort to attack EPA’s bedrock determination that climate pollution harms public health. Now we’re releasing 100,000+ documents showing disregard for public health and science.👇🏽 https://www.edf.org/Z6CX

Very proud of this piece written with @romainvaucher.bsky.social Most research is funded with public money & written and reviewed for free by researchers : yet the results are controlled by corporations that set the rules and capture the profits. As an academic, you can help change the system!

🚨 New Opinion Piece 🚨 Vaucher & Thomas discuss the sustainability and equity of different Open Access publishing paths and promote a shift towards Diamond OA. Read the full publication here: oap.unige.ch/journals/sdk... @romainvaucher.bsky.social, @camthomas.bsky.social

another great and constructive piece by @wearetektonika.bsky.social Well done tektonika.online/index.php/ho...

Sooo @plosone.org lost my reviews. You guys are #clowns Not able to answer emails for 50 days, not respecting your editors, your authors nor your reviewers. Submission is retracted. Publish #Diamond #Openaccess 💎

just so you know, no sign of fossil fuel transition right now. This is not happening. All we do is talk, and continue as usual.

Succesfull meeting in Aix les Bains @ialipa2025.bsky.social for the group! Lot of questions for A. Laakkonen's talk on pyrite mineral formation in the shallow sediments of #NamCo and M. Picard's talk on metagenomics pipeline, + constant discussions at the posters by M.-L. Adolph and G. Ceriotti.

we followed up with a DIGESTED-NamCore @icdpdrilling.bsky.social workshop with most of the colleagues of the #NamCo scientific drilling team. Lot of data and brainstorm! cheers to everyone! now back to the 🔬 🧪 !

We are at the #IPA-IAL meeting in Aix les Bains, to hear about the latest on lake research. The room is already crowded at the #sedaDNA session @ialipa2025.bsky.social

🚨 New Paper 🚨 Tournier et al. assess the potential seismicity hazard of the Poso depression, Sulawesi island, through a paleoseismological analysis of mass transport deposits preserved in lake sediments archive. Read the full publication here: oap.unige.ch/journals/sdk...

Hi new followers! 👋 I’m a sedimentologist studying Earth surface processes and how (paleo)climate shapes our planet. 🌍 In a recent study, we found that climate drove repeated advances of a deltaic system ~51 million years ago, during Earth’s hothouse conditions. 🔥 (1/4) 🔗 doi.org/10.1130/G525...

For those interested in 🌍 Geosciences, here’s a starter pack to follow some top geoscientists: go.bsky.app/NBi15qZ 🔬✨ Stay updated on the latest research, and explore Earth processes! 🌋🪨📚 (4/4)

I just found out that Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN) has been put on hold by Clarivate Web of Science. This means that concerns have been raised about its quality (I’m not shocked…) and that new articles will not be included in the database. This is big. mjl.clarivate.com/search-results
