CycloPod David De Vleeschouwer

Our first cyclopod of 2024 is another live episode, where we are joined by Pierre Josso, from the BGS at Keyworth, and Tim van Peer, from the University of Leicester. Tune in to hear about their exploits investigating the origins and implications of Milankovitch cyclicity in the Pb-isotope data from an Atlantic deep-sea iron manganese nodule from offshore West Africa (Josso et al., 2021, EPSL). The Intro music of this podcast is again an excerpt of a piece based on the North Atlantic Oscillation from the "Aphrodite's Dew" book and CD project by Arvid Tomayko and Sandro Montanari.

We are back with our 15th CycloPod Episode! This time we are joined by Anya Crocker, who is a research fellow in Palaeoceanography and Palaeoclimate at the University of Southampton. In this podcast, we hear about Anya's 2022 Nature Geoscience paper looking at astronomically controlled Saharan aridity in the Late Miocene, with surprising insight into how long there has been a desert in this region. The Intro music of this podcast is again an excerpt of a piece based on the North Atlantic Oscillation from the "Aphrodite's Dew" book and CD project by Arvid Tomayko and Sandro Montanari.

The 14th podcast on cyclostratigraphy.org is by several young researchers: Loic Sablon (Louvain, Belgium), Valentin Jamart (Lausanne, Switzerland), Peng Zhou (Beijing, China), Miho Ishizu (Pusan, South Korea), and Agnese Mannucci (Urbino, Italy). It was recorded during the EGU 2023 meeting and shows the active involvement of many enthusiastic young researchers in the EGU, and that there is no shortage on cyclostratigraphy during this event.

The 13th podcast on cyclostratigraphy.org is by Mohammad Farhat, a postdoc at IMCCE, Paris Observatory. Mohammad works with Jacques Laskar and the AstroGeo team (http://www.astrogeo.eu/) on refining and extending the orbital and rotational solutions of the Earth into and beyond the Mesozoic. In this podcast, Mohammad discusses the team's recent paper on the tidal evolution of the Earth-Moon system since the formation of the Moon; a classical astronomical tale revived in the midst of the booming cyclostratigraphic machinery.

Another milestone: the first live recorded episode of CycloPod! This month, we have Udara Amarathunga from ANU (Canberra) revealing the details about the "mystery sapropel". This podcast is based on his 2022 Nature Geoscience paper. The Intro music of this podcast is again an excerpt of a piece based on the North Atlantic Oscillation from the "Aphrodite's Dew" book and CD project by Arvid Tomayko and Sandro Montanari.

Anta-Clarisse Sarr is our guest for CycloPod Episode 11 on www.cyclostratigraphy.org. Anta-Clarisse is a postdoc in CEREGE and, there, she used a Earth System Model to study the effect of topography on Miocene monsoon systems (Sarr et al., 2022, Nature Geoscience). Her results have major implications for many of the work presented by previous CycloPod interviewees!
