Thrilled to share that I'm starting my own lab at UC Irvine in April 2025 and am recruiting at all levels - please spread the word! My lab will study how microbes interact and evolve in complex communities like the human gut microbiome. kxuelab.com/ 1/2

Abstracts are open for this year's Australian Mangrove and Saltmarsh Network meeting! This year the University of Queensland is hosting in Brisbane! Looking forward to seeing all yall coastal wetland folk, get ya abstracts in now :)

First it was the strange hue of the trees now it’s a real life nightmare.
This is very hard to take, it must be shared because none of us can escape this.
A catastrophe like we’ve never known is unfolding & exploding at an incredible rate. 🧵

I'd really encourage people to watch this short TV series documenting the state of NZ's coastal environment. This is one of the final outputs of a huge 10 year research programme investigating how we can better manage our oceans. I was fortunate to be involved in this research
This hopeful, solutions-focused series tells the story of the researchers, kaitiaki, and community members across the motu who are pooling their knowledge and resources to support the future health of our moana 🌊
🎬 Available to watch now on RNZ at rnz.co.nz/tide

📢 New Publication Alert 📢
@marcofusi1980 @TimBrainwaves have a new publication in STOTEN about mangrove expansion in New Zealand 🇳🇿
doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.…
🧵 1/
🧵Our findings provide essential insights for regional ecosystem models, coastal management, and restoration strategies to address the impacts of human pressures on temperate mangrove forests, even in estuaries that may be relatively healthy.
30
🧵This research highlights the complex interactions between human land use and mangrove ecosystems, which can alter carbon dynamics and ecosystem services, emphasizing the need for holistic coastal management and restoration strategies

🧵Moreover, our study shows that human land use significantly boosts mangrove tree growth and reproduction in New Zealand by increasing nutrient delivery from catchments.

🧵We found that human land use in the catchment lead to changes in sediment properties, such as redox potential, pH, and nutrient concentrations, indicating eutrophication and sediment acidification.

We assessed the effects of agricultural and urban land use in the catchments on mangrove forest structural and environmental sediment variables, of 30 sites along the north-eastern coast of Aotearoa New Zealand.

🧵A big shout out to my collaborators for their patience and guidance. @JoEllis93437092 @marcofusi1980 @natalie_prinz @cjlinnz and others not on X.
I am very excited to share our latest publication in @STOTEN_journal about the "Effects of catchment land use on temperate mangrove forests".

NEW - Aotearoa coastal wetland blue carbon!📢
Report from TNC Aotearoa NZ and DOC has potential to accelerate work to enhance NZ's wetland storage of blue carbon. Builds on a national hui & includes a valuable catalogue of 34 projects.

Just as everyone was knocking off for Xmas, the Australian Government approved a massive new gas field that will provide free gas to notorious tax cheats Shell, and add half a BILLION tonnes of emissions to our atmosphere. 🧵👇1/5

Brenda the civil disobedience penguin says:
ALT "Hey comrades, over this holiday period remember that there's no point trying to fix your racist uncle who doesn't believe in vaccines or climate change. Sit at the kids' table and radicalise them instead, it's way more effective and lots more fun." And she's not wrong.

"The 1.5-degree limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels.
Not reduce.
Not abate.
Phaseout."
