Wonderful to see Dr Sabrina Sayers graduate, alongside 4 other students from our school! What a wonderful resilient cohort they have been. Smiles all around on a beautiful Monash spring day.

In an unassuming manner, while parked at the lights on my way home from work, species 75 in our 5km radius majestically flew past: 2 black swans. What a treat and edging closer to the model prediction of 82 species in our 5 km zone.

Time to download the methane data (a full record!) and clean the sensors. Loving this field site in Moreton Bay. Judith Rosentreter you’ll be pleased!

Hi Sudip there are many methods for measuring carbon. Do you mean in the soil? If so google the blue carbon method by Catherine Lovelock, it details the practice used. Judith Rosentreter

Day one of our ARC DP22 field campaign in the hot and dry mangroves of WA is complete. Can’t wait to work out the hydrology of these arid coasts. A gristly introduction to mangroves for our group’s new team member the unperturbed honours student Sophie.

The joy of one’s first field data collection. Supervising students in their first steps of scientific discovery is one of the best parts of the academic job.

A hot day to complete our work at he first site: coring near the wells for stratigraphy, more sap flow installations, more cores for Sophie and foram collections for Prudence re-measured my mangrove seedlings (12 years!) and many many erosion pins- see you soon!

And so ends another successful field trip to the Pilbara, hoping the loggers keep going until we pick them back up in 6 months! Goodbye rock wallabies, dingoes and bats emus and bustards and all the other 63 bird species and goodbye incredible vast landscapes.

So impressed with how my SWAROVSKI OPTIK SLC 10x42 is coping with one of the toughest environments for optical gear - the arid mangroves of WA. Years of salt and mud during geoscience fieldwork and still like new. While I loved every pair of binos I’ve owned, these are my faves.

Our study on the evolution of the sandy banks and dune system at the opening of the Western Port embayment in Victoria led by Rafael available now in ESPL: doi.org/10.1002/esp.57…

Our physical geography group meeting this week is spectacular. Privileged to hear Peter Kershaw not only talk science - but also sing.

If you’re at AGU (American Geophysical Union) visit PhD student Thuong Tran’s novel high resolution analysis of mangrove area change in Viet Nam. The methods we’ve developed can be applied to other mangrove forests worldwide.

The culmination of a lot of hard and meticulous work by honours student Charlotte Gordon that supported this novel approach: Allometric Equations for Aboveground Biomass Estimation of Temperate Mangroves Using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles meridian.allenpress.com/jcr/article-ab…

Mount Waverley 5 km bird list reached 76! With three pacific swifts overhead on walk back from the shops!

👏 A massive thank you to our guest speakers Ruth Reef 🌊, @muddygoddard and @modeltheearth for their time and expert insights at our #webinar, yesterday. Missed it or want to share this with someone? The recording of this webinar will be available soon on our website.

Not your usual Melbourne night!
