Thank you also to my co-authors: @sasbrune, Jody Webster of @GRGusyd, @howes_dale, and @Dan_coastal. Much of this work was conducted as part of my PhD at @sydneyunigeo.

Minor flood warning issued for the River Derwent at Below Meadowbank from Wednesday evening. Catchments are wet and responsive to rainfall so make sure you stay up to date with the forecasts. https://t.co/Qll2YpENQ3

Come visit @BOM_au at the Sydney International Boat Show! We are in the Boating Safety Zone, where you can come talk to us about how you can get your weather forecasts before going out on the water!

Hi all! When I’m not flood forecasting, I am fostering kittens in Sydney. This gorgeous brother-sister duo is ready for adoption!

Brilliant exploration of ChatGPT in the classroom. It’s easy to bury your head in the sand and ban ChatGPT. It’s harder to critically examine its inevitable place in education.
AI is here to stay. Treat your students with respect by examining, acknowledging and embracing its use.

@thecolbykultgen @MehdiNayebi Your statement was vague enough that I interpreted it in the exact same way. Would you dare say something like this to slaves? Civil rights activists? Holocaust survivors? How can you expect someone to not try and change the world when that level of injustice and cruelty exists?

[Mandi Thran @MandiThran]

@tectonicSZ @BOM_NSW Yeah it’s pretty confusing

These researchers are top-notch, not to mention wonderful people to work with!

[Mandi Thran @MandiThran]

@DocHarleyMD Would fund due to the researcher’s ability to delegate!!

[Mandi Thran @MandiThran]

@ProfMattEngland The trick is to not cause a spill and exacerbate a flood while retaining those storages, which is much, much easier said than done!

@ashleyruba @gramnegativity Former academic applying all of my numerical modelling knowledge to flood forecasting. Loving it and just got promoted after a year there. Have yet to hear from Meta though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
