Exciting opportunity to contribute to reversing the dramatic decline of migratory shorebirds in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway! Come and work with Rich Fuller and myself as a 2-year postdoc @UQ_CBCS. uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/uqcareers/job/…

Our new review is out today in Nature Geoscience: Human activities have altered the production, transport and fate of mud and associated organic carbon, with important implications for global carbon cycling. Free link here: rdcu.be/dEcuv James Cook Uni

Super cool to see our review featured on the cover of Nature Geoscience nature.com/articles/s4156…

We have a new paper in PNASNews on migration ecology - this study led by @S_Lisovski investigates the vulnerability of migratory shorebirds to environmental change. New models that can better estimate the future migration needs of migratory shorebirds. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our study "Soil carbon in the world's tidal marshes" is now out as a Preprint! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… We present the first global, spatially-explicit map of SOC in tidal marshes at 30 m resolution, summarized in the figure below.

The dataset can be found on Zenodo: zenodo.org/records/109400… Predicted SOC, expected model error, and area of applicability at 30 m resolution.

Great effort @Marine_Lechene and #EcoRRAP #RRAP team, this knowledge will be useful for monitoring of coral reefs and assessment of success of restoration interventions Ecological Society of Australia Coralassist Lab Australian Institute of Marine Science ASPRS

An outstanding opportunity for a post-doc to join a great team and contribute to an exciting project working with many excellent nature monitoring teams around the world. Use your skills in spatial modelling and ecological knowledge. Deadline is 13 June. t.ly/H3NxU

Global Ecosystems Atlas Accelerator Project for the Maldives, MoU Signing Ceremony with Group on Earth Observations (GEO).

Coming up at our pavilion at #COP16Colombia on Friday: The Global Ecosystems Atlas: Supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework headline indicators #MapEcosystems 📅 25 October 🕡 6.30pm 🗣️ emily nicholson / Mandy Driver / Nick Murray / Hermenegildo Matimele

🌏Insights from Australia’s unique and diverse ecosystems will be used to boost global conservation efforts thanks to a game-changing online atlas. Nick Murray Ben Cresswell Full story📄👉shorturl.at/hXAxH

We need an open-access, comprehensive map of the 🌍 ecosystems to monitor, conserve & manage efforts to protect biodiversity and help reverse nature loss. At #COP16Colombia Group on Earth Observations side event, stressed that by mapping natures footprint, we can go further, faster, together.

Last night at #COP16, we joined partners to showcase how the innovative use of satellite imagery and open AI models is helping to map nature's footprint. This vital tool is supporting the Maldives in safeguarding its diverse and delicate biodiversity: storymaps.arcgis.com/templates/c256…

"We very much encourage everybody to get behind the Global Ecosystems Atlas." UN Environment Programme Executive Director Inger Andersen outlined why it's so important to #MapEcosystems at our #COP16Colombia side event to launch the Atlas proof-of-concept.
