My first, first author paper is now published!! 🎉🗞️ We used proximal spectroscopy to predict key water stress indicators, including leaf water potential, for two native Australian tree species 🌳💧🔦 Huge thanks to my co-authors and everyone involved! 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/pce.15…

We found very strong linear relationships against EWT and FMC, as well as leaf water potential. When accounting for a breakpoint using segmented regression, the predictive capacity against LWP increased! 🌳This breakpoint additionally indicates a potential link to TLP.

For more information, the paper is now available online and open access through Plant, Cell & Environment! doi.org/10.1111/pce.15…

Advancing methods to detect plant water stress from remote sensing is obviously paramount in a drying Australian bush. Proud of Ryan Haynes first paper! SWIR data will be key for increasing prediction accuracy of plant moisture. Next step is taking these techniques airborne 💪

PSA: Part one of Patrick Gower: On Ice airs tonight! It shows why Aotearoa has a presence in Antarctica, and what Kiwi scientists are seeing.

Antarctic sea ice update 🌊🧊 Antarctic sea ice reached its max winter extent of 17.16 million sq km (6.62 million sq miles) on Sept. 19, 2024. This is the second-lowest winter max on record, National Snow and Ice Data Center reports, just above last year.

Excited to share our publication on the Seasonal and ocean basin-scale assessment of amino acid δ15N trends in a Southern Ocean marine predator 🦭 ! Check out the details here : doi.org/10.3354/meps14… #SouthernOcean🇦🇶 #MarinePredators

Our new SC met to shape the agenda of our next meeting! ⏰14–16 March 2025 📼hybrid format 📍Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort (Italy) after Gordon Research Conferences and online via Zoom. The final agenda will be published soon, stay tuned! ➡️ More info: bepsii.org
