How do mangrove litter, roots and wood decompose across the globe? Led by lorae simpson, we found that 480 records show that decomposition rates are fairly consistent. Helpful for modelers and those trying to restore these #bluecarbon powerhouses. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Hi followers! I’m retiring this Twitter handle to move over to my new lab group account (The Future Coasts Lab)! Please follow along there for all your South Australian coastal carbon/research needs! I also still have my individual professional account (Alice Jones). 👋

Did you catch the two-part series – The Soundtrack of Australia – on ABC? Our #SuperstarOfSTEM and radio astronomer Dr Laura Driessen, appears in part two, talking about sound in space! Watch on ABC iView and explore sounds we can and cannot hear! iview.abc.net.au/show/soundtrac…

We’re hiring two postdoc positions! Modelling/remote sensing of mangroves and blue carbon: apply.interfolio.com/130299 Blue carbon stocks & fluxes OR blue carbon social science: apply.interfolio.com/130306 2 yr positions and possibly extension. Come join us in New Orleans!

Are you even at a conference if you don’t share an awkward photo next to a poster? Presenting some work I’ve been slowly chipping away at over the past 5 years - the expansion of Phillip Island’s penguins due to our conservation efforts + 10 years of good breeding success 🐣 🐧

Wonderful to be there to celebrate @Jackson_Stock‘s PhD graduation this week, and to have a bunch of the lab group come and celebrate with us 💙🧑🏼‍🎓

The theme for #SER2023 focuses on celebrating and restoring the relationship between people and nature. Alongside the meeting of the UN Decade Advisory Board, the conference provides an opportunity to increase awareness about the vital importance of ecological restoration. 🌳

Hi Jason Clare MP, This is what chronic underfunding of research looks like. In the last decade, we're getting: ❌Lowest total $$ granted ($275M v $387M in 2020) ❌Lowest number of projects funded (421 v 660), & ❌Lowest success rate (16.3% v 23.0) This needs radical change.

It's harder to get funding for basic research projects than ever before in Australia. The Australian Research Council Discovery Projects scheme now has the lowest “success rate” ever: 16.3%. Only 1 in 6 grants are funded. Why? The funding available has plummeted. Please help, Jason Clare MP❗️

Great to finally meet my #SuperstarsOfSTEM mentor face-to-face at Science Meets Parliament. It’s a fantastic event, bringing together scientists & parliamentarians (& media/communications/advisors/policymakers & more) for a couple of days to exchange info & network #SMP2024
