The atmosphere over arid and semi-arid regions is looking drier in the future than expected according to new research by NSF NCAR @IslaSimpson4 & team, which may mean a greater risk of wildfires and extreme heat than models previously predicted. news.ucar.edu/132936/climate…

The WA Government released a report that said Woodside's North West Shelf isn't to blame for eroding the rock art at Murujuga. But the data IN THE SAME REPORT contradicts that claim! #auspol #savemurujuga

The Govt has approved one of the biggest fossil fuel projects in our history The NW Shelf Extension threatens to destroy 47,000 yr old petroglyphs & will drive more extreme bushfires, droughts & floods. This isn’t leadership- it’s a betrayal of our future canberratimes.com.au/story/8…

Don't believe the spin from the WA Government. Pollution from the gas export plant is destroying the ancient Murujuga rock art. Rock art expert Professor Benjamin Smith read the report and set the record straight. Video from Friends of Australian Rock Art. #auspol

Thank you @JessHyles. Excited to be contributing to such an important area of research under the guidance of great minds, @BotanicGeek, @AlisonRBentley @JessHyles & @GMEstavillo. Looking forward to where this journey takes us!
Replying to @EsimuA
@EsimuA is exploring the roles of wheat aquaporins in response to drought for a @PlantSci_ANU PhD. Great fundamental research with path to impact in collaboration with @CSIRO. #OzWheat is in great hands!
