Achieving gender equity is a long-standing and ubiquitous challenge in marine science. Creating equitable experiences for all genders in marine science requires recognizing scientists' intersectional identities, and how this leads to unique lived experiences of privilege and marginalization. One approach to increase equitable experiences for women in marine science is to create affinity groups where women can learn from each other, share their experiences, and provide support and mentorship.

The new stalagmite isotopic records span the time interval between 43 and 26.6 ka BP, extending a previously published record from the same cave system covering the interval between 26.

- Scientists studied past climate changes in northeast Mexico to understand weather patterns better.
- They used data from a special kind of rock formation called speleothems, which helped them look back over 57,000 years in time.
- Their findings showed that certain ocean temperatures affected rainfall patterns, especially dry periods, but how these things are connected is still being discussed.
Winter Wonderland Cave contains perennial ice associated with two types of cryogenic cave carbonate (CCC) formed during the freezing of water. CCC is characterized by relatively high δC values, whereas CCC exhibits notably low δO values indicating precipitation under (semi)closed-system conditions in a pool of residual water beneath an ice lid. Previous work has concluded that CCC forms during permafrost thaw, making the presence of this precipitate a valuable indicator of past cryospheric change.
