Attending #ESA2023 ? Interested in how tropical trees respond to high temperatures vs high vapour pressure deficit? Come to my talk Thursday 8:30 PDT in E142 cdmcd.co/pMnkXQ #ESA2023

Join us on Wednesday 16 August at 4pm (AEST) for our seminar. We are LIVE in Cairns and cant wait to hear Prof Susan Laurance (TESS/JCU) & Kali Middleby (PhD candidate) speak on: Research priorities for adapting forest restoration to future climate change *Live streamed on Zoom

New nature paper: tropical forest temps from ECOSTRESS + leaf-level are starting to exceed Tcrit--where leaf function begins to fail. Models + warming experiments show non-linear increases in surface temp w/ inc. air temp --> tipping point w/in RCP 8.5. nature.com/articles/s4158…

On the heels of Earth’s warmest week on record, a new study finds the world’s tropical forest canopies may be closer to critical high-temperature thresholds than previously thought, but there may still be time to act. rb.gy/ttp55

TESSian Kali Middleby and team have recently published two fascinating papers, you can read them here: nature.com/articles/s4158… and here: academic.oup.com/treephys/artic…

Thrilled to see our research about temperature thresholds of tropical trees led by Chris Doughty featured on the cover of nature. The cover shows a thermal image (taken by me!) of tropical tree species Alstonia scholaris and Melicope rubra in Australia. nature.com/articles/s4158…

How does elevated temperature and vapour pressure deficit impact leaf gas exchange and plant growth in tropical rainforest trees? The first chapter of my PhD is now out in New Phytologist nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/TAHHQUYS…

The countdown is on! After 4 years of traipsing around the rainforest and thinking a lot about leaf temperatures, I'll be presenting the results of my PhD at my pre-completion seminar on September 12th. DM me for the Zoom link if you want to join!

How much carbon is being lost from tropical forests due to ozone pollution? New results from our work just out in Nature Geoscience. #airpollution, #ozone, #tropicalforests rdcu.be/dTKUN

Does leaf temperature and heat tolerance depend on climate of origin? The first results from our tropical tree provenance trial tropadapt.org (and my 2nd phd chapter) have just been published in Plant Cell & Environment Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/A7TUVQFT…

Why am I a plant physiologist? 7 years ago, I sat above a mature tropical rainforest and entered an entirely new world. Thanks to the Daintree Rainforest Observatory's canopy access crane. Now our much loved research station is under financial threat. shorturl.at/irNTk
