I join many #geoscientists saddened by the news of the passing of Prof Leanne Armand Leanne Armand. An absolutely amazing person that made incredible contributions not only to the discipline but through support and mentoring of #WomenInGeoscience in which her legacy will live on.

The horrible irony is the discretionary Ministerial powers that bring #Djokovic back to the Park Hotel prison where 33 refugees remain after 9yrs detention by Australia, could free them in a moment. An exercise of powers the Govt refuses to use for them. 9news.com.au/national/novak…

A couple of months ago, a young woman who grew up in detention on Nauru found her way to Missing Perspectives & asked us to help tell her story. There are a lot of powerful people who won't want you to read this but that's why you have to. She deserves it. bit.ly/3fsrw6s

In the US, 70% of people are worried about climate change but only 8% are activated. Sowing uncertainty is a technique that's been used for decades to keep that gap as big as possible: "if we aren't 100% sure, best to wait." Here's the most recent example. desmog.com/2022/01/28/jor…

Wetlands, like mangroves, are disappearing 3x faster than forests. To #ActforWetlands & combat habitat loss, Bahamas National Trust is leading efforts to restore mangroves ravaged by Hurricane Dorian in 2019. #WorldWetlandsDay (📸: Zaria Dean, Bahamas National Trust)

Excited to be working with Kai Jensen Universität Hamburg and the NordSalt team in their groundbreaking research in Baltic wetlands.

Let me say a word to the younger generation. You have had it tough — but in my humble opinion, you are a great generation. You are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobia, anti-xenophobia. And your generation has shown the courage to take on corporate greed.

Recipe for a Science paper: 20 years in the planning ~5000 hours of fieldwork ~12000 lines of code 1036 dedicated files 26 drafts Take home: we can save our wetlands if we control GhG emissions science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A few pics of ~5000 hours of fieldwork to establish response of global tidal marshes to SLR. The importance of long-term monitoring and Don Cahoon's vision! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Neil_Saintilan @KerryleeRogers_ Dan Friess glenn guntenspergen Dr Jackie Raw Nicole Cormier and others

An important feat in mangrove research in India. The first set of RSET is installed in Sunderbans. Many more to come. We will soon know how vulnerable the Indian mangroves to the sea level rise. Great to be part of this collaboration effort of Wildlife Institute of India CIFOR IISER Kolkata

Does the moon control mangrove dieback? Mangroves and the lunar wobble. New paper out today in Science Advances. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Using evidence from the last Ice Age, researchers warn that rising seas will devastate the world’s mangroves, marshes and coral. Read more about the paper published today in Nature: bit.ly/45T12TF Cath Lovelock UQ News

New paper in nature today: We use a global observation network to investigate how coastal habitats will persist under global warming. Neil_Saintilan Open access here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

We must move beyond the mentality of appearing to be concerned about the climate crisis, while lacking the courage to effect substantial change. If the measures we could adopt now are costly, the cost will be all the more heavy the longer we wait. #DRRDay #LaudateDeum

We’ve spent the last few years modelling the future of the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica, and I regret to inform you that it’s not good news. nature.com/articles/s4155…

We now have results from a modern reanalysis product (ERA5) that show November 17th was in fact the first day the world has experienced that was 2C above the preindustrial (1850-1900) average. Hopefully it will prove transitory, but its a worrying sign.
