What a great gallery and symposium session #GreenUnseen . Feeling blessed to shed light on some lesser known (globally) food-plant histories from Australia #murnong. Part of my PhD study. With other inspiring talks and works by plant crazy people Lakeside Arts Nottingham Geography #UoN

We've been working hard preparing our outreach activities for the Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity. Our activity called 'Time detectives' will have adults and kids exploring how to reconstruct environmental changes through time. Nottingham Pollen Lab #FOSAC #UoN #Geography

⚠️Our new #research about past fuels for #fires 🌳 🔥 in southeastern #Australia is out today on Science Magazine! Shrub cover declined as Indigenous populations expanded across southeast Australia science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Indigenous burning practices in Australia once halved shrub cover, reducing available fuels and limiting wildfire intensity for thousands of years, but the removal of these practices following European colonization has led to an increase in the tinder that has fueled today’s
