@nifiju Did the tower manage to capture the peak wind speed?

@erikkain @Forbes Apologies for delay (new baby). It could be that the manipulation is not by the studio - maybe a 'true fan' offended that the wokeness of the last jedi?

@ozdendro @itsnotfairman @Phil_Zylstra @ozjimbob There was this work: https://t.co/GYBhmHAElN - but I haven't seen results apart from a paper by Volkova

Really interesting paper, scaling from plant traits to ecosystem flammability in prescribed burns.

By Bianca Tumino, @jane_cawson @The_Snark & Jason Goodger.

Great to see another paper exploring the potential of plant traits in explaining ecosystem flammability!

Australia's drinkers are not reacting well to the leadership debate #auspol

After dragons, this will be the next animal to be studied in my combustion course

Excited about our new paper in @CSIROPublishing International Journal of Wildland Fire exploring the influence of fuel moisture on emissions and fire radiative energy. We show that live, moist fuels don't follow assumed trends like dead dry fuels do. https://t.co/rNth5K5g4y

@mccarthy_nfm I'll get back to you on that - it was pretty windy (30km/h+), but not too hot. Next weekend could be a ripper, forecast for Melb is 36 and windy

I don't swear a lot on Twitter but fuck. Fuck this. I'm off to have a rant at the sky for my mentor and my mate. He made The News Quiz. I'm devastated and sending love to his family. What a wonderful man https://t.co/wJJZjkYHWo

@planetmoney have this week's episode on the costs of wildfires. Well worth a listen #wildfire #firescience

[NPR's Planet Money @planetmoney]

Wildfires have caused billions of dollars in damage in California over the past two years. And they’re not like other natural disasters. There’s often someone to blame—someone who might have to pay. https://t.co/x9UzwFvqwB

@gollnerfire My first thought was purely selfish - then I realised how many people that I knew were unlikely to have money to live on for the coming weeks

[Tom Duff @The_Snark]

Sometimes doing fire science is really hard #science #wildfire

[Tom Duff @The_Snark]

But then again, I get to go to work, so I can't complain
