To celebrate 20yrs of OzFlux—the TERN-supported 🇦🇺🇳🇿eddy-covariance flux research community—we’ve launched a ‘site of the month’ series. First up is Gingin & its #opendata for #climate research & decision-making on Perth’s #water resources: tern.org.au/site-of-the-mo… #NCRISimpact

TERN eNews Centre Spotlight: IAE In May we headed to the nation’s capital to showcase #research that’s improving our understanding of the #environment & enhancing decision-making for natural resource management #NRM & #SustainableDevelopment: tern.org.au/centre-spotlig… #WeAreUC

🥳 #WorldEnvironmentDay ‘Our natural & managed ecosystems form the world we live, play & work in; the settings for our industry; & the distinctive natural heritage that characterise Australia. They are the basis of our current & future prosperity, & our national wellbeing.'

The new CosmOz website lets users visualise then download open-source #soil moisture & rainfall data from a growing number of sensors.💧💫 Read more & access the #opendata: tern.org.au/cosmoz/ #NCRISimpact

Queensland Government co-invests $1.66M in NCRIS-enabled TERN 🥳 Investments will create jobs, improve data discoverability & usability, upgrade critical equipment for monitoring #environment change, inc responses to extreme events. 💧🔥🌿 🦜 tern.org.au/qldgov-coinves… #NCRISimpact

Oh no! I've been doing it wrong for all these years! I'll throw away my teapots and loose leaf canisters. Oh, and the kettle as well.... Who needs boiling water? Off to the microwave right now!

#FridayFact TERN’s infrastructure has enabled the publication of more than 1000 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles or books. 🧐🤗 tern.org.au/research-publi… Your paper using TERN not listed? Let us know via our simple form. Thank you! 🙏 #NCRISimpact

New Google Scholar profile for the Tumba (AU-Tum) research site. 128 peer reviewed pubs, 10 000 citations, h-index 51.. not bad for its 20th year! TERN @NCRISimpact CSIRO scholar.google.com/citations?hl=e…

The #ukulele is pretty much instrument of choice for quirky and wistful #songs, but it's a fair bet UTS Science #PhD #student AnnaClaire Mcdonald is out there on her own with her #thesis-summarising tune about #plants and #soil #contamination, via 2SER 107.3 bddy.me/3grI38K

ICYMI, our July 'Site of the Month' featured the OzFlux Kopuatai Bog site in NZ🇳🇿 The site’s #ResearchInfrastructure provides critical insights on #environment change & the role of peatland ecosystems in the global #carbon cycle. tern.org.au/site-of-the-mo…

Are dragonflies a sign of spring? 🤞

#FieldWorkFun installing #SapFlow and #Dendrometer sensors on trees at Boyagin Nature Reserve for UWA SAgE research, with bit of nature photography too... A fun part of #AcademicJobs

The #drought has loosened its grip & #bushfire impacted ecosystems start recovering. 💧🌿🔥🌧️☀️ They're the main conclusions from ANU WALD's mid-year update on the condition of 🇦🇺's #environment: wenfo.org/aer/wp-content… @ANUFennerSchool ANU Media #PositiveVibes #NCRISImpact

Earlier this month w The Hon Dan Tehan announced $1.7M to TERN to replace ecosystem monitoring equipment damaged by #bushfires & to make our sites more resilient to extreme events! Such wonderful news for 🇦🇺 ecosystem #science😀 tern.org.au/directors-upda… #NCRISImpact

Excited about filling the gaps and expanding the global flux tower network by adding our own #Queensland dot to Ozflux and FLUXNET. Please join us at the next @TERN Australia webinar where we discuss the new high tech towers to measure #water and #carbon fluxes.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in to today's TERN Ecosystem Observations webinar! 😀🙏 And of course to Jo Owens usqedu & Will Edwards James Cook Uni for your wonderful insights on using TERN data to improve water & vegetation modelling 👏 Our next webinar is 4Nov #NCRISImpact

Site of the Month: Wombat Stringybark Eucalypt SuperSite. Showcasing a decade of #ResearchInfrastructure-enabled #science on #forest #carbon cycles, #soil, vegetation growth dynamics, and their responses to #drought & #fire: tern.org.au/site-of-the-mo… #NCRISimpact @nifiju

Planning your fieldwork and sampling? This gives a really nice overview of what we should expect in the growth-season just starting, with both a La Nina and negative IOD prevailing... In short, take your raincoat! #fieldecology #fieldwork

You're invited to the next OzFlux Ecosystem Exchange webinar. Tuesday, 4 May 2021 12pm AEST ‘The ecological processes that shape Australia’s ecosystems’ by Dr Jamie Cleverly 🌿🌈🇦🇺 Hope to 'see' you there!😃 uqz.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #NCRISimpact

It's nearly official, I'm moving to James Cook Uni in Cairns before the end of the year. Thus, this account will be shut down to be replaced by one not connected to my UTS email. I am in the process of transferring my followers to @jamie_cleverly ; feel free to find me there.
