The history of seabird population sizes prior to the Anthropocene (the modern era) remains largely unknown. This gap limits our understanding of current phenomena and our ability to predict the […]
An international team of researchers (Inrap, CNRS, Simon Fraser University) has published an article in the journal PNAS titled “Dietary Inequality Marker Reveals 10,000 Years of Gender and Cultural Disparity […]
Iron isotopes in pyrite are frequently used to better understand environmental conditions throughout our planet’s history, going back to sedimentary archives dating back billions of years. A team of researchers […]
The International Scientific Council of the Maison des Sciences Humaines et Sociales de Toulouse (MSHS-T) has awarded its 2025 Interdisciplinary Thesis Prize jointly to Louise de Palaminy (PhD in Archaeometry) […]
2.9-billion-year-old marine sedimentary rocks from Canada’s Red Lake region reveal areas of oxygen accumulation at a time when the oceans were globally anoxic and iron-rich. These oxygen oases played a […]
A recent study reveals the existence of a uranium isotopic signature specific to oxygen-depleted environments. This discovery could help to better understand the history of the co-evolution between animal life […]
A study conducted by scientists from the Centre for Research on Biodiversity and the Environment (CRBE – CNRS/IRD/Toulouse INP/UT) and the Géosciences Environnement Toulouse laboratory (GET – CNRS/IRD/UT/CNES) reveals that […]
The recent publication of a data paper by a research team including scientists from CNRS Terre & Univers highlights a unique series of measurements of atmospheric mercury on Amsterdam Island, […]
