@UrbanLorax I sure would hate to industrialize all those cattle farms. It would be much nicer if any industrialization could occur out of sight and out of mind

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@looksouth And at Wayatinah in the tall forests, one of the best large tracts of giant forest left!

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@simonahac What percentage of "prime farmland" is used for cattle? One of the most land-inefficient ways of growing food, but that's not really what these opponents are worried about is it!

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@RainforestsAus @HPsiEqualsEPsi The graph will look the same given you're comparing several thousand, to several million hectares, no matter how you cut it.

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

Has anyone had any luck or got some recommendations on accessing LiDAR data in Victoria (that's not on ELVIS) for research purposes?

Coordinated imagery don't reply to my emails and I can't pay hundreds of dollars per sqkm to get it from data service providers...

Many Australian forests had open understoreys when British invaders first saw them, but our study shows that some like the tall Mountain Ash were dense and felt impenetrable to many.

@RainforestsAus Offsets aren't the first or best option, as every knows, but it's some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to make it seem like building wind farms doesn't reduce emissions.

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@RainforestsAus @tanya_plibersek What do you think an appropriate buffer to the WHA is?

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@TanLoos @newsouthpub A question you might know the answer to - did the recent fuel reduction burn on Cameron Drive impact any snow gums? From the map it looked nearby, which was a worry

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@RainforestsAus Professional wind/renewable energy engineer here - Why do you bother commenting on wind resource when it is obviously something you know near nothing about?

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@RainforestsAus So much disinformation, gone completely unhinged.

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@Seantooker2 Small revision - no native forests are cleared for plantations in Tasmania (assuming you don't count native forest "regeneration" as planation)

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@JCrooka @cleannrgcouncil I don't think anyone in the renewables industry is pushing for exemptions like the RFAs, still don't see any projects you support. Easy to broad brush say you support projects with 0 impacts

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@JCrooka @cleannrgcouncil Are you still perpetually against, but never for any renewable energy projects? Easy to shit can lots of projects, not so easy to find and support the ones you think strike the right balance.

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@Seantooker2 Did this one end up getting fried in the regen burn?

This #ThickTrunkTuesday, climb a giant Mountain Ash with Dahl Fellow Brett Mifsud, * learn about the greatest threat facing these massive forest elders.

Congratulations Brett & Prof David Bowman for your work to get this important story into the media.

The first time Tasmania's giant trees have been visible in 3D, in amazing detail. Wood volumes and other stats incoming!

Thanks @kimcalders !

Lathamus Keep, a Tasmanian giant Eucalyptus globulus (+80 m tall) in the Huon Valley scanned by terrestrial and canopy laser scanning.

At 8 m high, it’s diameter is still an astonishing 3 m!

@RainforestsAus Why keep on spreading misinformation? 60,000 Ha is completely ridiculous and can in no way be justified with real numbers

Not sure if founding an anti-renewables twitter page and calling it Rainforest Reserves Australia really gives you green credentials, but anyway.

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@Cam_Walker 25 years later the first microreactor gets delivered in Australia, the community celebrates not being left behind.

[jan.corig @CorigJan]

@Seantooker2 How good is the ability of globulus to grow in such varied ways, from gnarly coastal to wet forest giant!
