There have been lots of estimates of C emissions following the Australian #BlackSummer fires. How do they stack up against field observations? Our new paper looks at this, and post-fire tree mortality.

Our new paper synthesises the analyses the @BushfireHub did on the #BlackSummer fires for the NSW Inquiry, and many recent papers on the fires. We also ask: what have we learned from the fires, and will we be better prepared next time?

New Hub research:
Hub researchers have developed a framework for quantifying the consumption of shrubby fuels during fire. This is important for estimating smoke emissions and modelling post-fire fuel accumulation https://t.co/4h8UgOVlb0

New paper from my PhD! How is fire severity in Eucalypt forests affected by the severity of two previous fires? @OwenBushfire @meaghanejenkins @ESAEcosphere @UOW_CSES https://t.co/doAutK9tkz

@jo_horsfall Do you remember doing the GIS course and we all had to wear jeans and jumpers beacuse it was always freezing!?! 30+ outside and we were wearing jeans!

Testing out the trail cam on our #backyardbirds. Also pumped to get a shot of our resident possum- haven't been seeing it around since our other late night guest showed up!

Join my symposium, "Perspectives on a changing landscape of fire", today at #ESAus20

There's a great line-up of fire talks.

Does anyone know who this is? It looks like somethings been munching on the epicormic resprouts at Gardens of Stone NP.

And we have lift off!

This morning, all three Collins St Falcon chicks took the plunge, leaping from the ledge of a window high above Melbourne – much to the delight of their many fans across the world. Thanks for tuning in to the most successful year of the live stream yet!

We have two PhD scholarships available at @westsyduhie one to study post-fire tree mortality, and the other to study forest flammability. Both involve fieldwork. Please re-tweet.

It’s been great getting out this week surveying recently burnt and long unburnt forest at Kanangra-Boyd.

It was a privilege to be able to make some modest contributions to the analyses by the @BushfireHub for the NSW Bushfire Inquiry. Here's a summary (full reports available soon)
