Its all happening here at the Biosolids Symposium #biosolidsym22 . Q&A with producers and end-users, questioning the lack of agronomic research on applying biosolids on cropping soils..

Dr Michael Crawford at the ARCTraining Centre_Transforming Biosolids symposium  #biosolidsym22 providing us with a bit of history of Australian agriculture, the importance of soil organic matter and the involvement of farmer groups…

The big picture. Looking at megatrends for the biosolids sector during a focus group at the ARCTraining Centre_Transforming Biosolids symposium  #biosolidsym22

Water utilities and their customers shouldn’t have to solve and pay for a problem created by polluters. We need to stop #PFAS at the source. Read our piece in USA TODAY by WEF’s Executive Director, Walter Marlowe: ow.ly/kMGw50KYxn5

“If we manage to avoid global societal collapse during the next centuries, It will be because we realized we are dependent on the rest of life” Rob Dunn on the law of dependence in ‘A Natural History of the Future’

It all comes down to that. #pfas, #biosolids, ARCTraining Centre_Transforming Biosolids

#MEEM day also here at the ARCTraining Centre_Transforming Biosolids centre at RMIT 🙌 😀

Woohoo! 🎉

Great PhD opportunity here: transformingbiosolids.org.au/new-phd-opport… disregard the deadline. Intake for July 2023. Contact me or Prof Andy Ball for further details anytime.

Congratulations to our PhD candidate Anne who won the best poster presentation at the 2023 Soil Science Australia conference in Darwin! Well done, Anne. #soilconferenceau Soil Science Australia RMIT University Samantha Grover Christian Krohn

Wow, just wow. The planet is breaking. Antarctic sea ice extent is the headline for me this morning. There was actually a net *decrease* in ice extent day over day, and it's mid-winter there, peak freeze season. Extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the 1991-2020 mean.

1. Global warming will continue until we reach net-zero. 2. The climate consequences will keep getting worse until we reach net-zero. 3. After reaching net-zero we will have to live and suffer in a warmer world for generations. Do we act now or delay further?

OMFG. Turns out The Day After Tomorrow could possibly be the Year After Next? We're hanging by a thread from full-scale #climate collapse that will be far, far worse than even our direst imaginings. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Almost 60% of life on this planet is living below our feet (estimated). Soil therefore is the “singular most biodiverse habitat on Earth”. 🤯 Soils rule pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I learned a lot at #mewe2023, where microbial ecologists/bioinformaticians and water engineers meet. Here it was obvious that microbial diagnostics will drive innovation in the sector. Online control systems through the MIDAS Field Guide are already being implemented in Denmark!

Very excited to announce our fantastic speaker lineup for #MEEM2023 Nov! Our plenary is A/Prof Kate Howell (Kate Howell), followed by talks by Guillaume Méric, @SophieIHolland, Christian Krohn, Rex Chan, Marissa Blunden & Nirmani Wickramasinghe! #enviromicro 1/2
