For those wondering about how extreme our fire conditions were in Australia in the past 6 months see this paper by folks at HIE: nature.com/articles/s4155…

A Nature News & Views article on research led by Mingkai Jiang which used my photo of the #EucFACE site Western Sydney U - HIE - does this mean I’ve published in Nature too? 🤔 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Dr Sebastian Pfautsch found that urban surface temperatures on summer mornings are almost 13C higher than in vegetated areas. ⁦Western Sydney U - HIE⁩ bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Couldn't get to say goodbye to everyone probably after seven years. Not good at farewell but have to do it. Really appreciate the time at Western Sydney U - HIE. Thanks to all of you. Special gratitude to Prof. Belinda Medlyn and Matthias Boer. See you all later.

Not a bad start. Lake George being a lake with rainbow over it. How often does that happen? I'm in Canberra with family. Still trying to settle down.

The Clermont #Hydraulics crew is on the way to Germany for the #XIM5 Xylem International Meeting! See you in Würzburg soon.

MODSIM2023 is not just for modelers but for people working on vegetation monitoring--experimentalist, remote sensing specialist, ecologist. Your passion and expertise should help a bigger audience. Check session 'B7. Native and modified vegetation' =) mssanz.org.au/modsim2023/str…

What is the minimum number of new parameters which a model requires to capture grass cover response to rainfall? Our answer is 2. The paper on grassland phenology is now in AGRFORMET. authors.elsevier.com/a/1g7-AcFXJcsM…

I am co-convening and speaking at iLEAPS – OzFlux Joint Conference 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand. #Ozflux #phenology 🛰️🌏🌱🍂Please check out the details of my talk at: whova.com/xems/apis/open…

Hot off the press: our regionally improved land surface phenology algorithm provided us with the most detailed phenology information🌱🍂 so far across Australia 🇦🇺. The dataset has been published through TERN. #phenology #ecosystem #remotesensing authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S14…

Fungal genome size and composition reflect ecological strategies along soil fertility gradients. Our paper just out in Ecology Letters doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…. Great collaboration with Andrew Bissett, Carlos Aguilar-T 🏳️‍🌈 🇩🇪 🇸🇻 🇫🇮,Dr Hongwei Liu ,Jeff Powell.

Very happy to see this work from the PhD project of Ankit Shekhar now published in Global Change Biology 😊 with @LukasHoertnagl and Nina Buchmann 🧵1/5 #extremes #forests #vulnerability onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/WQHTQCA7…

PhD opportunity - seeking keen potential modeller to work with me & Chris Rudiger to bring Australian vegetation into #JULES model - please share! bmedlyn.wordpress.com

Our paper on predicting fuel hazard is finally out! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… Thank you all so much for the pleasant experience on the fire risk modelling project. Matthias Boer Prof. Belinda Medlyn Jürgen Knauer @asinbar Mingkai Jiang and all coauthors.

There is so much to love about the career that has seen me elected to Australian Academy of Science - beautiful forests to work in, challenging maths problems, awesome colleagues. Just wish the outcomes were less confronting Western Sydney U - HIE #EucFACE
