Mount Waverley 5 km bird list reached 76! With three pacific swifts overhead on walk back from the shops!
Thank you @TwomeyAlice for leading this important contribution: Planning hydrological restoration of coastal wetlands: Key model consi... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
The culmination of a lot of hard and meticulous work by honours student Charlotte Gordon that supported this novel approach: Allometric Equations for Aboveground Biomass Estimation of Temperate Mangroves Using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles meridian.allenpress.com/jcr/…
If you’re at @theAGU visit PhD student Thuong Tran’s novel high resolution analysis of mangrove area change in Viet Nam. The methods we’ve developed can be applied to other mangrove forests worldwide.
Our physical geography group meeting this week is spectacular. Privileged to hear Peter Kershaw not only talk science - but also sing.
Our study on the evolution of the sandy banks and dune system at the opening of the Western Port embayment in Victoria led by Rafael available now in ESPL:

So impressed with how my @SwarovskiOptik SLC 10x42 is coping with one of the toughest environments for optical gear - the arid mangroves of WA. Years of salt and mud during geoscience fieldwork and still like new. While I loved every pair of binos I’ve owned, these are my faves.
And so ends another successful field trip to the Pilbara, hoping the loggers keep going until we pick them back up in 6 months! Goodbye rock wallabies, dingoes and bats emus and bustards and all the other 63 bird species and goodbye incredible vast landscapes.
A hot day to complete our work at he first site: coring near the wells for stratigraphy, more sap flow installations, more cores for Sophie and foram collections for Prudence re-measured my mangrove seedlings (12 years!) and many many erosion pins- see you soon!
The joy of one’s first field data collection. Supervising students in their first steps of scientific discovery is one of the best parts of the academic job.
Day one of our ARC DP22 field campaign in the hot and dry mangroves of WA is complete. Can’t wait to work out the hydrology of these arid coasts. A gristly introduction to mangroves for our group’s new team member the unperturbed honours student Sophie.
Hi Sudip there are many methods for measuring carbon. Do you mean in the soil? If so google the blue carbon method by Catherine Lovelock, it details the practice used. @j_a_rosentreter
Time to download the methane data (a full record!) and clean the sensors. Loving this field site in Moreton Bay. @j_a_rosentreter you’ll be pleased!
In an unassuming manner, while parked at the lights on my way home from work, species 75 in our 5km radius majestically flew past: 2 black swans. What a treat and edging closer to the model prediction of 82 species in our 5 km zone.
Wonderful to see Dr @Ssayers758 graduate, alongside 4 other students from our school! What a wonderful resilient cohort they have been. Smiles all around on a beautiful Monash spring day.
