Back on Kangaroo Island SA for the working week, alongside @pyro_ct and the @TenRivers team. The local grass trees are sending up post-fire flower spikes taller than I have ever seen
“We have to figure out how to more sustainably live with increasing fire,” @DrBalch said, like more controlled burning during wetter conditions to remove fuel. https://t.co/qDxl371MQi
A rather bumpy but enjoyable ride to Kangaroo Island to help KI Council with their bushfire mgmt. needs w. @_lauragannon_ as a co-collaborator. Especially important given the devastating 19/20 summer bushfire season, very pleasing to be able to provide solutions to #FutureFire
QFES is prepared, are you? Today marks the official start of Queensland’s bushfire season for 2020.
With more than 100 structures lost and countless resources utilised, let’s take a look back at what we faced last season.
Since the summer bushfires we have been working as part of the Vic Govt response to help our environment recover.
Recovery is a long journey & we're only just taking the first steps. #WorldEnvironmentDay

Encouraging women into fire & biodiversity science @seqfbc asked Women SEQFBC work with about what has inspired them to pursue careers in STEM & the most rewarding part of their careers. Read about what they had to say #WomenInScience#WomenInScienceDay@hlthylandwater
We wholeheartedly support #WomenInSTEM and days like today to celebrate and promote such initiatives! We can proudly say that we are at 45-55% females-to-males across our workforce!
Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. 👩🔬
We like to promote our female STEM superstars. This is Jess Melbourne-Thomas, climate scientist, 2020 Tasmanian Australian of the Year winner and Australian of the Year nominee. 🥇

Not many people achieve 40 years of service with one company, and Greg Hansen is likely the only person to ever have a BBQ named in his honour. Congratulations Greg, for this milestone, and your work ethic. Read more: https://t.co/9VeyAVduwR #hereforapurpose
Good thread on the necessity of bushfire protection and ecol. requirements of the broader landscape. We do much the same across 1000’s of km of fire line. Pls read
View from the bridge into Bawley Pt (looking south) on the NSW South Coast. Fire crews working on the Currowan blaze, monitoring for ember attack in the town. Many residents have already evacuated to Ulladulla.

His paper alongside Allyson Williams in the mid 90s adds further gravitas to this pioneering work in the 1980s. It remains a seminal piece of work. Sadly it’s playing out to these predictions. Ignore the warning signs at our peril
"We are now in uncharted territory. We've just gone over the 1 million ha mark. It exceeds major fire seasons of the past. The most concerning thing to emphasize is, it’s not over. Fires are situated in most critically dry parts of NSW." - UOW Prof Ross Bradstock via @AusSMC
