Context. The Euclid mission of the European Space Agency will perform a survey of weak lensing cosmic shear and galaxy clustering in order to constrain cosmological models and fundamental physics. Aims. We expand and adjust the mock Euclid likelih... Read More about Euclid: Validation of the MontePython forecasting tools.

Bayesian multi-proxy reconstruction of early Eocene latitudinal temperature gradients (2024)
Journal Article
Eichenseer, K., & Jones, L. A. (2024). Bayesian multi-proxy reconstruction of early Eocene latitudinal temperature gradients. Climate of the Past, 20(2), 349-362. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-20-349-2024

Accurately reconstructing large-scale palaeoclimatic patterns from sparse local records is critical for understanding the evolution of Earth's climate. Particular challenges arise from the patchiness, uneven spatial distribution, and disparate nature...

Walking tours as transcultural memory activism: Referencing memories of trauma and migration to redefine urban belonging (2024)
Journal Article
Huss, M. (in press). Walking tours as transcultural memory activism: Referencing memories of trauma and migration to redefine urban belonging. Memory Studies, 1-19. https://doi.org/10.1177/17506980241247271

This article maps two grids of city walking tours, conceptualizing them as expressions of transcultural memory activism. The first are walking tours in Berlin, guided by Syrian refugees, which use memorials of local traumatic history to testify to th...
