@bridgetwatersci Same issues in our drought experiments on mainland Australia. Definitely no drought on the horizon!

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

Our team recently carried out a 6-day heatwave experiment near the summit of Mount Hotham, VIC. Round-the-clock data collection in proper alpine gales. Sometimes we got a bit loopy but the data are outstanding. #ANUHDR @AdrienneNicotra @zachalexanderb

Tarpogganing is our latest event in the fieldwork Olympics.

Any events we should add?

That's a wrap! The latest AMRF monitoring site sent its first transmission on the first day of summer 2021!

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

Y'know something fun is up when a few trailers and utes roll into Kosciuszko NP with this much kit. @BiologyANU @scienceANU @TERN_Aus @AustPlantPhenom @hovendenlab @Susanna_Venn @Myebra12 @zachalexanderb

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

@MelGerwin @AusFloraFoundat Fantastic! Looking forward to seeing your results!

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

6 PhD opps with the AMRF team! Variety of topics including soil invertebrate ecophys, plant water relations, phenotypic plasticity, plant and soil community, thermal tolerance, adaptive genomics and plant regen strategies, etc.

That exciting feeling when a colleague spots your project logo sticker on a parked car in town

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

It was BARELY a snow day but we caught it and the melting on phenocam. @AustPlantPhenom

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

And thank you @__jimmywalsh for the masterful storytelling

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

Fabulous video of @AdrienneNicotra reflecting on how 2020 affected her research (HINT: ALOT 🔥❄️🦠). Thanks @ANUmedia

[Science & Medicine at ANU @scienceANU]

First bushfires cut off access to her field sites🔥 Then a hailstorm destroyed glasshouses containing her experiments⛈️ Soon after that, the pandemic hit🌏 After a year marked by unexpected challenges we asked @AdrienneNicotra what she learned from 2020 @BiologyANU @ANUmedia

[Susanna Venn @Susanna_Venn]

Into soil, chemistry, snow, plants, GHG fluxes? There's a part-time Level A post-doc at RMIT with your name on it... apply now! Due 31st March @EcolSocAus @SoilScienceAust @DeakinCIE @RMIT @drsoilsam https://t.co/DukAzxDKAo

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

@dhobern Definitely intentional. This was the first day we were setting up the site so there were several readjustments of the camera once we saw the first images.

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

Check out the first few images from the phenocam at our alpine monitoring site in Victoria

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

At 9pm our VIC alpine site successfully sent its first set of data to the cloud server! The sunset was the cherry on top.

[AustMountResFac @austmountresfac]

The billy buttons and cats ears are having an absolute ripper of a time in northern Kosciuszko NP. Pretty toasty without that burnt out snow gum canopy!
