Our latest work on the #Murray #Darling River is now out in @AusQuaternary!
In it, we suggest the Darling River had substantial flows in the mid-Holocene, challenging previous ideas. [🧵1/2]

We have a new paper just out that further shows that part of the Lower #MurrayRiver was an estuarine central basin environment during the mid-Holocene sea level highstand. @DrThomasJob @sydneyunigeo @SciReports 1/3

@john_tibby @SciReports @DrChookWilson @DrLukeMosley Helpful insight and debate John, keen to see your new data 😀

[Thomas Job @DrThomasJob]

I suspect similar feelings in Aus - worth considering in our teaching and outreach perhaps (whether we feel we built the ivory tower or not)

[Tim Dixon @dixontim]

This helps explain why universities get caught up in the culture wars - the public's feeling that academics look down on them (shared by a majority in all groups but Progressive Activists). Worth noting though: public sees UK government and media as even more condescending.

That's a new one 😅 time to update my business card...

Great paper! A neat example of how hydrological variability impacts biogeochemical cycling, and the implications for important ecosystem services e.g. GHG mitigation

@matthewmoffitt Though this dry lakebed, absent of vegetation, isn't fully representative of the system!

When you overpack for #fieldwork 😂
Great week in the field for James' Honours project, researching landscape change in the #SnowyMonaro region

[Thomas Job @DrThomasJob]

@matthewmoffitt 2020/21 has actually had (relatively) solid rainfall! But yes still a marginal environment... the eucalyptus dieback was sad to see

[Stuart Khan @stukhan]

People have asked whether we could reduce the Warragamba spill by all turning on all our household taps. The spill rate is currently approaching 500 gigalitres (GL) per day. The most water Sydneysiders have ever used (on a very hot summers day) is 2 GL/day. So… I don’t think so!

#SEM imaging has been a highlight this week - always blows my mind! Pictured is a #gastropod #microfossil fragment 🐌👀

A clear reminder why we are in a #ClimateEmergency
"... over the coming 50 y, 1 to 3 billion people are projected to be left outside the climate conditions that have served humanity well over the past 6,000 y."

Scariest map you'll ever see

Black: areas essentially uninhabitable by humans in 2020

Brown hatching: areas essentially uninhabitable by humans 50 years from now, under high emissions scenario

Understanding changes to the landscape in the past has never been more important - this publication with @Sydney_Uni is timely https://t.co/RvBfMVEW92

@PatriciaGadd @ANSTO @DrBreeMorgan It was a treat to collaborate with you and the team at @ANSTO, @PatriciaGadd 👏

[Thomas Job @DrThomasJob]

A pleasure to work with Dan Penny, @DrBreeMorgan, Quan Hua, @PatriciaGadd, Atun Zawadzki

Our new research paper uncovers how the River Murray Estuary, South Australia has changed over the last 10,000 years – check it out! @HoloceneJ @sydneyunigeo @ANSTO #LowerLakes #MurrayDarling https://t.co/c3Uqc6dxxH

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

The Bureau has confirmed that #LaNiña has formed in the tropical Pacific, with climate models suggesting it's likely to remain until at least the end of 2020.
