Closure of the Bering Strait caused Mid-Pleistocene Transition cooling. Nature Communications, 9(1), Article 5386. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-07828-0

The Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT) is characterised by cooling and lengthening glacial cycles from 600–1200 ka, thought to be driven by reductions in glacial CO2 in particular from ~900 ka onwards. Reduced high latitude upwelling, a process that re... Read More about Closure of the Bering Strait caused Mid-Pleistocene Transition cooling.

Lake Baikal has been experiencing limnological changes from recent atmospheric warming since the 1950s, with rising lake water temperatures, reduced ice cover duration and reduced lake surface-water mixing due to stronger thermal stratification. This... Read More about Diatom evidence of 20th century ecosystem change in Lake Baikal, Siberia.

Sylva: 'To slowly trace the forest's shady scene' (2018)
Exhibition / Performance
Watkins, C. Sylva: 'To slowly trace the forest's shady scene'. 14 December 2018 - 7 April 2019

The ways that people interact with trees and woods have varied dramatically through time and from place to place. Today many are concerned about the loss of woodland and might agree with Lord Byron’s Childe Harold in relishing the forest where ‘mort...

Plant functional traits directly affect ecosystem functions. At the species level, trait combinations depend on trade-offs representing different ecological strategies, but at the community level trait combinations are expected to be decoupled from t...
