Excited that our new paper with @abelikesdirt on the influence of vegetation characteristics on burn severity and recovery rates for the Black Summer bushfires has been published in @SpringerNature. Check it out here 👉 link.springer.com/article/10…
What an awesome week attending the Australia and New Zealand Tree Ring conference in Aukland, catching up with amazing colleagues followed by a short field trip to collect some new samples #dendro#tree-rings
Our new paper on using seasonal palaeo-flow reconstructions and artificial neural networks for water balance modelling has just been published! Interested in how the past can inform hydroclimate risk? Read more 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Fantastic week sampling River red gums and Coolabah trees in the Gwydir for a dendrochronology project looking at large tree viability and recruitment. I also learnt quite a few new tricks for extracting stuck cores from the amazing Dr Jonathan Palmer 😀
These Turpentine trees was felled in the 1880s to build a jetty at Catherine Hill Bay. Extracting some discs today and it’s amazing how well the wood has been preserved. Now to find out how old they were when felled. Stay tuned….@UON_research

What a great two days with our GEOS2050 students (catchments and climate) studying water management in the Hunter on day 1 and stream gauging along the Karuah River on day 2 with @hydrogeoscience@Uni_Newcastle
Excited to share our new paper on two multi century seasonal streamflow reconstructions for western Tasmania! We show streamflow has been declining in the last 100 years but the 15th century was much drier. Awesome team of co-authors👇sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
We also show that SAM and the Subtropical Ridge influence western Tasmanian streamflow.
Also, while the reconstructions may help inform past variability for other mainland Australian regions care needs to be taken as the seasonal teleconnections differ.
A hot day on campus today but the students are still in good spirits for orientation week! I really enjoyed welcoming all out new B Climate Science and Adaptation students to the program 👌 @Uni_Newcastle
Are changing audiences bringing new challenges for communicating our sciences? @SafariPenguin explores this in the final plenary of the morning at #AMOS2024
