1/11 (🧵) We have 8 exciting opportunities to join the PEAT project as a PhD student, based either at @BiolSci_UWA or at @CPPP_ECU. If your background is botany, entomology, soil science, genetics, AI, cultural studies, geochemistry or hydrology, then we have a niche for you!
Winter in the Walpole Wilderness sees the peats fully recharged and bubbling away. #bogday
Great two days looking for peat sites in the Walpole Nornalup Wilderness to do hydrological scienc. @Science_DBCA, UWA's Greg Skrzypek, Jim McCallum, Holy Winkle and @DrDavid_Edmonds @LizJEdmonds.
4 months after prescribed fire the bush is looking nice and green. Closer inspection reveals a large number of Jarrah and Balga deaths. Surviving Jarrah show significant canopy loss (many metres of height), heavy epicormic and lignotuber sprouts. Decades for full recovery.
Found masses of flowers in this Pitcher Plant, Cephalotus follicularis. The flower spikes on this one relatively short due to lack of competition from surrounding vegetation. #walpolewilderness
A great day yesterday to celebrate the Red Tingle and Red Flowering Gum with Dahl Fellow, Dr Elizabeth Edmonds and a host of outstanding speakers. #NationalEucalyptDay @EucalyptAus
It's hard to fully grasp the new UN climate science report. Climate change can feel far away, like someone else’s problem. To make it real, I think about my home state of Western Australia. I've compiled what #IPCC says about current impacts of climate change & what's predicted🧵
This World Frog Day let’s spare a thought for our incredible amphibian friends like the threatened Sunset Frog - endemic to the Walpole region of Western Australia. Frogs are in the most threatened class of vertebrates in the world and need our help more than ever. Pics: mine.
Just because it seems normal, doesn't mean it is. 'Shifting baseline syndrome' describes the gradual acceptance of degraded environmental conditions as the new normal. 📸: Cameron Shepherd
A $1.3m @IanPotterFdn grant will help a team of scientists led by us and @EdithCowanUni design strategies to protect critical peatland ecosystems in WA's South West, giving a fighting chance to rare species like the fascinating Sunset Frog #UWA @wamuseum bit.ly/3Yv8rEG
Been told that “leaf lichens” are rare to non-existent in SW WA, so is this a “leaf lichen” or just a lichen growing on a leaf? Found on Gahnia decomposita in long unburned Karri/tingle. #lichen #biodiversity
Join the Mini Bioblitz on 5th March to revisit sites from the Walpole Wilderness Bioblitz last year plus extra sites. Meet at 8.30am in Walpole Pioneer Park (opposite the bakery). More details and RSVP here: [email protected] 📸IG elbuho_nival
Corymbia ficifolia, the Red Flowering Gum from WA. Is this your #EucalyptoftheYear? Last year, #friendsofficifolia drove a spirited campaign & helped the Red Flowering Gum place second! Can they bring the win back west in 2023? Vote now: surveymonkey.com/r/C8YT83X 📸: M Cooper
Here is our paper published today on dangerous climate feedback loops. Yes, it is appropriate to be scared and now we need to act and go big on climate mitigation. @great_thunberg @GretaThunberg @MichaelEMann @billmckibben cell.com/one-earth/full…
