Heading out to collect the data for my first #PhD paper. I’ll be looking at how #savanna trees and grasses respond to #warming across a temperature gradient in South Africa. This is part of my PhD on savanna responses to climate extremes with Oxford Ecosystems Lab and Oppenheimer Generations Research & Conservation



Thank you Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery for making my talk available for those that could not attend in person. I took stock of good things, bad things and the role of social narratives in the #KMGBF... surely not everyone will agree!


Fully set up in a Terminalia sericea grove today at Tswalu Kalahari Reserve to test the temperature response of young trees to current and future predicted temperatures using the LI-COR Li-6800. Loving the mobile pressure bombing set up! Tswalu Foundation Oxford Ecosystems


When the Reuters list of the top 1000 Climate scientists of the world featured only 5 Africans (all male) I was shocked and massively disappointed. The article by Indra Overland, Nick Simpson, Christopher Trisos and co. in this thread reveals why this is the case.

Working with Dr. Heidi Hawkins has been incredible! If you’re looking for a PhD in the world of carbon, she’s the person to work with!

Looking forward to hearing from @RemoteReefs this Friday and discovering what we can learn from the study of remote coral reefs. In person and online 4.15pm in the School of Geography SoGE, University of Oxford ECI_bio Oxford Biology bookwhen.com/oxfordbiodiver…



Morning walks in the meadows have been an incredibly important tool for my mental health during this first year of my PhD University of Oxford SoGE, University of Oxford This morning’s was filled with geese, swans, ducks and magpies 🦢 The PhD Story The PhD Place #phdchat #phdlife

Yesterday the PhDs from SoGE, University of Oxford took on pottery! We had such a fun and creative time. I’m so impressed with what was created!





Can't post this enough. #rewilding just half those livestock boosts #biodiversity while large mammals are known to bury #carbon, produce less #methane per kg vs livestock, may reduce #Albedo, and could still support people's livelihoods. Graphic Our World in Data
