A team led by @unswbees Associate Professor Bryce Kelly will be working up close with cattle to accurately track their methane emissions.
The data will help to improve Australia's greenhouse carbon accounting and methane reduction strategies: https://t.co/qEjRkbnOyK
2/2 The study used nearly 1,000 photographs from 1968 to 2001.
Comparing the visualisation of the glaciers then to observations now, the research estimates 35 billion tons of glacier ice was lost following the Larsen B Ice Shelf collapse.

1/2 New research co-authored by UNSW A/Prof. Tim Barrows (@4Dlandscapes) has produced a real-world-scale model of 5 Antarctic glaciers based on archival film photographs.
This model has been used to estimate the glacier ice lost after the 2002 collapse of the Larsen B Ice Shelf.

Earlier this year, geoconservationist and @AussieAstrobio PhD candidate @clarefletcher42 spent four weeks living and working at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah.
This remote station provides scientists with a “testing ground” for identifying evidence of early life.
1/2 Congratulations to the UNSW academics, alum and former faculty colleagues who have been named in the King’s Birthday Honours!
We are proud to share that @unswbees Emeritus Professor @SuzanneHand has been appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) 👏

Given the inevitability of bushfires in Australia and resulting hazardous smoke, Prof. Green and Janice Wormworth urge the government to learn form overseas efforts and become more proactive in planning to protect communities: https://t.co/ILrecvDfxz
🎉 Congratulations to one of our great @UNSW educators, Prof. @CarolOliver from the School of Biology, Earth & Environmental Science @UNSWScience, for receiving the 2023 Australian Awards for University Teaching (#AAUT) Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning.
Recently, I spent a month at @TheMarsSociety's @MDRSupdates research station. The 2 crews taught me a lot about research, living on Mars, myself, and my own work and how I could conduct it on Mars. I'm super grateful to have been supported by @TheMarsSociety and @marssocietyoz
How can the fossil record rescue today's species on the brink of extinction?
@UNSW Prof. Mike Archer explains how palaeoconservation has benefitted species such as the Mountain Pygmy-possum & explores its possibilities for species such as the Giant Panda: https://t.co/jwdc2YeR0p
On Friday I submitted my PhD thesis for examination. This 4 years has been a blast!
I'm not done. I'll continue to bring you more temno goodness for years to come!
Huge shout out to @MatthewRMcCurry for having faith in me and putting up with me!
