The new #MakingADifference features the story of a research team from Southern Cross GeoScience who were first on the scene in 2016 to investigate the unprecedented dieback of mangrove forests in northern Australia’s Gulf of Carpentaria. Dr. Luke Jeffrey Damien Maher ow.ly/5uj950BagPU


Great to see this final paper of twitterless James Sippo's PhD out in Biogeosciences. Combining dendochronology and sediment geochemistry to unravel impacts of mangrove dieback on iron. Great collaboration with ANSTO research funded by Australian Research Council



How will climate change impact arsenic & antimony mobility in rivers? Our new paper from @ScottJoh_dirtDr Dr Niloofar Karimian and myself in Water Resources Research provides new clues (check it out at dx.doi.org/10.1029/2020WR…). @SCUonline SCU Research Southern Cross GeoScience #mining #geochemistry


Our new paper shows that agricultural drainage has increased REE leaching from acid sulfate soils under farmlands in Finland, leading to REE enrichment in estuarine sediments mainly via sorption to clay minerals (borenv.net/BER/archive/pd…). @SCUonline Southern Cross GeoScience SCU Research


Happy to share our new paper on antimony interactions with manganese oxides by Dr Niloofar Karimian @ScottJoh_dirtDr and myself in the Journal of Hazardous Materials (doi.org/10.1016/j.jhaz…). Thanks to Australian Research Council & @GeoloJess_ + Peter Kappen at Australian Synchrotron. @SCUonline Southern Cross GeoScience

1/6) Pls check out our newly accepted New Phytologist paper revealing #Isotopic evidence for axial tree stem #Methane #Oxidation within subtropical lowland forests 🌱> tinyurl.com/57k3zaa9



Excited to now share our Nature Communications paper: Bark-dwelling #methanotrophic bacteria decrease #methane emissions from trees. nature.com/articles/s4146… Awesome collaborative effort with Chris Greening Eleonora Chiri @ScottJoh_dirtDr Damien Maher 🙌#Treethane #MOB #Microbiology #Oxidation


Dr. Luke Jeffrey does some #scicomm on his new tree-mediated methane #treethane paper in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand tinyurl.com/zrmwyt6w . Significant methane oxidation within the bark of trees! Paper #openaccess in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

A #SciComm piece I wrote for The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand about the significance of the global #Treethane research frontiers and our new Nature Communications publication revealing that microbes living in tree bark consume #Methane theconversation.com/we-found-metha…

'We found methane-eating bacteria living in a common Australian tree. It could be a game changer for curbing greenhouse gases.' 👇 🌳theconversation.com/we-found-metha… Read a related paper by Dr. Luke Jeffrey, Damien Maher, et al. 👇 📖nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…


Are trees a climate catch 22? Leaves remove CO2 from the atmosphere, but their stems emit the potent greenhouse gas methane...unless bacteria consume it first go.nature.com/2P7xGiU Dr. Luke Jeffrey
