The structure of the clay mineral refracts differently depending on the amounts of Al vs. Mg. B) This change in the <0.2 μm size clay fraction also has an affect on the overall bulk geochemistry of the sediment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1504192503783-V3SMHCPIRAM8UDMBF57O/olduvai+gorge.jpg Olduvai Gorge Olduvai Gorge is named after the oldupai plant (Sansevieria ehrenbergii) pictured here in the bottom left corner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1504201321786-YMPAQ4MBN1RTXHDZYOXH/1-s2.0-S1040618213007775-gr5.jpg Olduvai Gorge This is thin section of a paleosol where a root pore was first lined with FeMn and then zeolites. The FeMn would have been mobilized during wetter conditions and precipitated during dry periods. The zeolites precipitate during dry climate as evaporative-pumping drove saline-alkaline water upward in the soil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1504200356624-EQO274TBSHHXYDBES3QU/683f2.png Olduvai Gorge The overall bulk geochemical concentrations of Al and Mg in these lacustrine sediments changes throughout the history of paleo Lake Olduvai during the Pleistocene. Six freshening events (gray vertical bars) are identified that are best correlated to December insolation in the southern Hemisphere (20°S) and today is associated with the shorter monsoon in Tanzania. This adds to the growing body of evidence that precession dominated Sub-Saharan Africa during the Pleistocene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1504191491570-L1GUVUOUV8FKTZYWKG7A/1-s2.0-S1040618213007775-gr9.jpg Olduvai Gorge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1504191720237-129RNORPT1IBOPK415UN/1-s2.0-S1040618213007775-gr2.jpg Olduvai Gorge Olduvai Gorge incises into the eastern margin of the Serengeti Plain. Paleo-Lake Olduvai expanded and contracted throughout the Pleistocene and was a saline-alkaline lake unsuitable for drinking. So why were the hominins occupying this landscape? This is the question I've been working on since 2010. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1487012540088-EEL4EK1O96LLVID1VXBP/IMG_1671.JPG Olduvai Gorge https://www.emilybeverly.com/home daily 0.75 2023-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1570400737412-ZYZIDAG866THD2V6BOV2/DSC_0844.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1487349906342-QVOOTXS8VF77R0KUTZY4/IMG_1653.JPG Home https://www.emilybeverly.com/students daily 0.75 2022-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1487012769073-37WJHWEHWLT9U1WNMVU3/IMG_1681.JPG Prospective Students and Postdocs https://www.emilybeverly.com/hei-research-group daily 0.75 2023-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1623205912198-AS7WFVTVE36V5LNC2FM1/Image+from+iOS.jpg Human Environment Interactions Research Group - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1604004124749-3PKXKUM63SCP092JFUY3/09_GonaGroup.jpg Human Environment Interactions Research Group Kevin in Gona, Ethiopia where he worked for his masters project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1584641248684-VKFMBWB4JORZ1JJAEOJ6/20191031-8485_cropped.jpg Human Environment Interactions Research Group https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/630d8904-be2d-4ab3-9ade-fbe47235ce33/Rafter+Picture.jpeg Human Environment Interactions Research Group - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1584640645493-V4TJ8YZWDR8VTOQORNHW/Image+from+iOS+%281%29.jpg Human Environment Interactions Research Group Nicky collecting water samples on her most recent trip to Panama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1570403240627-SEWJ8G4WXUS7WF0ALCPZ/IMG_1885.JPG Human Environment Interactions Research Group https://www.emilybeverly.com/eocene-basins-of-north-america daily 0.75 2023-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1685654384448-RUVI7XJEGVLVT2YG4DCJ/DJI_0021.JPG Eocene Basins of North America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1685654396059-ITAUGAYNUUJVSPVTJLDH/DJI_0039.JPG Eocene Basins of North America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1685654548484-E03PD0HJVY79DN12E6OQ/IMG_1877+copy.jpg Eocene Basins of North America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1685654669907-EL2S5XF1YLM94HCLXKBZ/DSC_9725.JPG Eocene Basins of North America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1685654790955-JDBBFG8C0A4NC3BZE7LB/IMG_1919.jpg Eocene Basins of North America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1685654811066-XL7A95B4W0OPEIMTL4IJ/IMG_1938.jpg Eocene Basins of North America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c224fb859fd0d22ac67f8f/1685654306070-6R7YH50NRKNFLS6ZEXPB/DJI_0039.JPG Eocene Basins of North America
