The scale of fires in NW Australia is hard to fathom. An area bigger than Western Europe has been on fire at some point over the last 6 weeks. Global heating plus El Niño is certainly starting to kick in. What will be left by the end of summer?

Our traditional Christmas lunch at the Eltham pub. Probably the biggest group we have had.

Jo, Dirk and Brad all got awards at the VC's awards event

Great Inland Waters Carbon workshop at Charles Darwin University. Large CCB turnout. Thanks @ClementDuvert for organising.

Brad gave an invited keynote presentation on Blue Carbon Uncertainties at the 2024 Smart City Summit and Expo in Taipei

Stony, with some help from Jacob, has started his 6 week field trip in the Lake Eyre basin looking at greenhouse gas emissions from dry and flooded drylands.

Ryan has joined Stony to help with his GHG flux measurements in the Lake Eyre basin

Brad gave a talk on Kati Thanda Lake Eyre to year 6 students at St Joseph's Woodburn

Check out our session on intermittency at ASLO 2025. Abstracts are open. SS26 The role of (hydrologic and climatic) intermittency in the cycling of carbon and nitrogen and associated greenhouse gas fluxes across the land-ocean aquatic continuum (LOAC) aslo.org/charlotte-2025…

44 scientists have issued a stark warning about the threat of a major ocean circulation change, causing a detrimental disruption of climate patterns lasting for centuries to come. Check out this short video explaining what this is all about.

Happy #GISDay! A nice opportunity to share a powerful coastal monitoring tool available on our #opensource Geoscience Australia #DigitalEarthAU Maps platform: easily compare intertidal elevation data over time to map 3D coastal change across Australia!🌊 🗺️Map: maps.dea.ga.gov.au/#share=s-dW88T…

Jacob, Aurora, Amanda, and James are out on the water on the GBR for their first field trip looking at coral reef carbonate sand dissolution, ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) and hypoxia.

Our traditional CCB Christmas lunch at the Eltham pub.

Stony and Jacob are taking summer GHG flux measurements in the Lake Eyre basin in temperatures up to 45deg C.

Jacob, Britte, Micha and Ryan are at the ALSO 2025 conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. If you are around drop in to their talks.
