PAGES' PALSEA2 working group leader Andrea Dutton continues to make a splash with her science.

The geologist from the University of Florida, USA, was recently named one of Rolling Stones Magazine’s "25 People Shaping the Future in Tech, Science, Medicine, Activism and More." Read the article here.

Plus, listen to her extended interview with Nature editor for climate science Michael White, where she discusses, among many things, using corals to reconstruct past sea level.

White has interviewed three other PAGES scientists on his popular "Forecast" podcast. You can find them here.

Earlier this week, VICS working group members Matthew Toohey and Michael Sigl had their paper "Volcanic stratospheric sulfur injections and aerosol optical depth from 500 BCE to 1900 CE" published in Earth System Science Data.

This new volcanic reconstruction, describing the new eVolv2k volcanic forcing database for the past 2500 years, is based on improved ice-core records and reconstruction methodologies.

Avid reader to active coordinator

Scott St George web PAGES' current guest scientist Dr. Scott St. George can't quite believe he's progressed from reading the PAGES Newsletter (now the Past Global Changes Magazine) to being a working group coordinator.

"Since the beginning of my graduate career, PAGES has been there," St. George said. "My supervisor Brian Luckman was always leaving the PAGES Newsletter in the lab and it was the first time I had the idea that my work was connected to broader initiatives. And 20 years later, I'm supposed to be coordinating things!"

The native of Winnipeg, Canada, is now an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography, Environment and Society at the University of Minnesota, USA, plus coordinator of the PAGES 2k Network and a scientific committee member of the Floods Working Group (FWG).
