Controlled Fire as a Carbon Strategy: What we’re learning from the sub-tropical peatlands in K’gari!

Here's our latest publication on the role of microbial enzymes in supporting carbon storage and nutrient turnover in fire-impacted subtropical peatlands! https://t.co/GQxx4fnMyl

I'll be attending the National Climate Governance Summit 2024. Looking forward to learning more!

It is deeply regrettable to lose a critically endangered Malayan tiger in this manner. This incident underscores the urgent need to incorporate wildlife conservation considerations into our existing and future development projects.

Seekor lagi mati, kali ni di kilometer 50.8 arah Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT) arah Kuala Lumpur dekat Lentang, semalam.

Area tu mmg betul ada lagi harimau.

@Silverthorn_T Congratulations Teresa!

Spent a fun few weeks in Borneo, mentoring aspiring Env scientists from UniSC, delving into a dynamic array of fieldwork and scientific techniques for learning more about tropical forest ecology.
Was a fulfilling experience nurturing the next gen of environmental stewards :)

Diving into the world of forests and water protection! Our latest blog post breaks down why clear goals matter for our environment. Let's make sustainability simple and accessible! #Forestry #Sustainability #WaterProtection

Enhancing riparian protection: A call for clear objectives and measurable targets 📑

In our latest blog post, authors suggest that targets must move away from vague objectives towards quantifiable goals that specify what is supposed to be achieved 🌊

Excited to share our collaborative paper on forestry impacts and riparian buffer management!🌲 Our research delves into the necessity of clear, measurable targets for effective protection. Let's move beyond vague objectives and foster a dialogue for ecologically sound practices.

[Lenka Kuglerová @kuglerovastripe.bsky.social @KuglerovaStRipE]

For >3 years, we worked on this perspective piece. We highlight the urgent need for clear and measurable targets for riparian buffers in forestry context so that we can evaluate their effectiveness against outcomes.

Let's demand for transparency and sustainable practices in the fashion industry! No more greenwashing.

These women collecting sea sponges which are more tolerant to warming waters to improve their livelihoods. It will be interesting to see how we adapt to the various impacts of climate change in the present and future.

New research finds that under a warming climate, mixotrophic microbes - estimated to make up the majority of ocean plankton - can switch from being carbon sinks to carbon emitters🌡️🦠

Such a shame that they are removing foundational knowledge affecting about 134 million young students.
"everything related to water, air pollution, resource management has been removed"

How much has each country contributed to climate change through historical #emissions of #carbon dioxide, #methane and nitrous oxide?

Today, our new 'living' dataset for tracking national contributions to #warming is published in @ScientificData

Without good & accessible forest data, researchers can't build reliable flood mitigation plans. Before & after the 2014 'bah kuning' #flood that ravaged #Kelantan, a lot of forests upstream were cleared (red-pink). But official data shows little change in forest reserves (green).
