OUT NOW: It takes a special team to not only continue implementing an international water and sanitation research program 💦🌱 amidst a global #pandemic, but to come out even stronger because of it. #RISEprogram 2021 Annual Report ➡️ rise-program.org/annual-activit…

The first paper from my PhD School of Biological Sciences, Monash with @StevenChown1 and Matt McGee is finally out! I explored the relationship between range size and speciation in honeyeaters, to see what we found (and for some pretty pictures) check out the paper here: bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Today I got to press the much anticipated submit button on my PhD thesis Monash University🤩 I am extremely grateful to my supervisors @StevenChown1 & Grant Duffy, my friends in the Chownlab and the #RISE program for such a fantastic experience. Now to celebrate! #PhDone

Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future officially launches Monash University today. Funded by the Australian Research Council our research program will deliver Antarctic and Southern Ocean science to create a more sustainable future for all. Read more: arcsaef.com/story/new-anta…

The city of Makassar 🇮🇩 has ~tripled in size since the 90s; that #urbanisation leads to expansion of the #urban heat island. Emma Ramsay tracked this using 30yrs of 🛰 NASA Landsat data + monitoring in informal settlements 🔗🔓: doi.org/10.1016/j.envp… Here's what we found:

If you haven't seen it yet, in this recent article we explore nature-based solutions in the Global South! This is the result of a great discussion with global colleagues on how climate adaptation projects using trees, wetlands and flood gardens can be more fair and inclusive.

Climate change is here, and it is already altering the way we live. Commentary from Perrine Hamel and I ⬇️🌏🥵🌳 Asian School Of The Environment Earth Observatory SG

Newest publication in PNASNews with QINQIN KONG, LarryKenney13, and Matthew Huber - Greatly enhanced risk to humans as a consequence of empirically determined lower moist heat stress tolerance Much-needed climate and thermal physiology collaboration pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Explainer on the two recent studies of imminent dangerous humid heat, by Emma Ramsay and myself pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The human body can only take so much heat. A study examines the likelihood of heat waves above the limit of human thermoregulation in different climate futures. The risk of widespread exposure to lethal heat rises sharply at 3 °C of warming. In PNAS: ow.ly/AtMY50PWFI4

ASE Research Fellow Emma Ramsay recently co-authored a commentary on how human heat & humidity tolerance may not be able to keep up with rising global temperatures; potentially putting millions at risk unless more is done to mitigate #GlobalWarming pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

With 70+ species of #snakes in Singapore, how can we co-exist peacefully with these misunderstood but beautiful and #coolcreatures ? Noelle from the Resilient and Inclusive Cities Lab at #ntuase shares her insights on these #reptiles #Ecology #ecosystem perrinehamel.com

Humid heat stress is an underestimated threat to the one billion people living in urban informal settlements without effective adaptation strategies. Read more from Emma Ramsay & colleagues in this new Commentary: cell.com/one-earth/full…

Most of the 1 billion people in informal settlements are in the tropics, where the threat of humid heat is rising. ☀️ As new research from Emma Ramsay (Monash University) finds, poor weather station coverage that misses local hotspots puts them at more risk. theconversation.com/1-billion-peop…

It's really important that people in this situation have access to plenty of fresh, safe drinking water. 1 billion people left dangerously exposed to heat stress by gaps in climate monitoring theconversation.com/1-billion-peop… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Dr Emma Ramsay from the team at our resilient and inclusive cities lab weighs in on the negative impacts of heat, humidity, and #GlobalWarming in the #tropics and #Asia, and how we can potentially mitigate these effects!

Accurately assessing the true magnitude and extent of humid #heatexposure to the 1 billion people living in #informalsettlements is essential for risk management. Read more from Emma Ramsay here cell.com/one-earth/full…

In this The Conversation Global op-ed, researcher Emma Ramsay explains how gaps in #climate monitoring leave people in informal settlements across tropical Asia & Africa dangerously vulnerable to rising humid #heat. theconversation.com/1-billion-peop…
