The second chapter of my PhD is out in Plant Cell & Environment! Here we explored the drought legacy effects on canopies of Eucalyptus viminalis and found some very interesting results 👀 spoiler: variation is playing a big role! Ibrahim Bourbia Brodribb Lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…

Yonatan Sorek has graduated his Ph.D! His thesis is published as three excellent papers! Does anyone have a postdoc position for him? He is well-trained in plant hydraulics and irrigation and has tons of fieldwork experience. He is also an expert coder in R. Highly recommended!

It was a lot of fun to talk to Dr. Kate Johnson about my work with drones, trees and heat stress 🌳🌡️ and about my (personal) experience pursuing a career in academia 🌏💻 Thanks for the opportunity That's What I Call Science 🎙 ! 🎙️

🔍#DataDiscovery | Drone Lidar Data from TERN plots across Australia A collection of drone #lidar data from TERN plots. The aim of these surveys is to capture vegetation structure, an important indicator of aboveground biomass & #carbon storage. 📊: portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/…

Today starts our TAW-Tree project led by Nicolas Delpierre. The goal is to estimate total (soil) available water (TAW) for trees and forests combining geophysics, ecophysiology, plant hydraulic modeling and remote sensing !

I'm proud to have been part of this beautiful sprawling monster of a paper - the MOST comprehensive analysis of a single drought's development, drivers, and impacts that any sane drought scientist could want.

Unpopular opinion: Not all research needs to be 'groundbreaking'. Small, incremental advancements are just as valuable.

TERN NatureScan operationalising drone protocols for DJI M350 with P1 RGB and MicaSense Dual multispectral cameras, and Zenmuse L2 lidar. Goal is to collect dozens of plots across Australia's ecosystems and make raw and processed data freely available.

Proud of my graduate student, Kaiwei Luo, because today his first research chapter of his PhD was published in Nature. Drought triggers and sustains overnight fires in North America. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thrilled to share our paper in New Phytologist: "Spectral ecophysiology: hyperspectral pressure–volume curves to estimate leaf turgor loss", led by Raiza Castillo, w/ Alina Zare, Grace John, Gerard Sapes, Alston Lippert, & Nicole Mallen! #SpectralEcophysiology doi.org/10.1111/nph.19…

The new Plant Ecophysiology department Uni Hohenheim has opened a 3-yr postdoc in plant hydrodynamics. If you want to test new theory on plant hydraulic function and failure, come here to exchange ideas & stay for the great facilities. Full description: tinyurl.com/yc5dwwem

There is a month left to apply for this #PlantSciJobs. My goal for this #postdoc is to test some key hypotheses on #xylem #embolism formation and spread and explore its role in vascular #plant #evolution. There is also room (and some funds) for you to do your own #PlantSci.

Interested in Soil-Plant-Environment Interactions? and would like to join to our lab TU München for your postdoc? Then consider applying to the TUM Global Postdoc Fellowship. More details here: tum.de/en/about-tum/c… Please reach out if you have any questions.
