From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – with global ramifications theconversation.com/from-sea-ice...

New research suggests dingoes are distinct enough to have their own scientific name. If this is accepted, it will have far-reaching consequences.

On today - come and see us in Centennial Park to learn more about UNSW Science www.scienceweek.net.au/event/scienc...

We are honoured to announce that we are a 2025 #EurekaPrizes finalist for Environmental Research! @eurekaprizes.bsky.social are Australia's peak scientific awards, recognising the achievements of researchers across all scientific disciplines. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yrR...

This week I joined the wonderful Robyn Williams on the ABC Science Show to discuss our recent North Atlantic Nature paper plus a range of other topics — marine heat waves, polar vortex wobbles, the AMOC, and the deep cost of climate inaction. Part 2 airs next week.   www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

I had the pleasure of joining @sarahinscience.bsky.social and @instrachan.bsky.social on the Totally Cooked podcast from @21stcenturyweather.bsky.social to talk about hail - how it forms, where it hits, and how climate change might affect it. Listen here: 21centuryweather.org.au/engage/total...

Outstanding to see three finalists for the 2025 Eureka Prizes from @unswbees.bsky.social - #1 @cariocamayer.bsky.social and team with the fantastic @livingseawalls.bsky.social project

For decades, Australia has relied on data from US satellites, floats and monitoring programs. Planned deep cuts put Australian forecasting at risk.

Pleased to share that I have a new paper out today. This paper took over seven years to complete but we are very pleased with the outcome! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

New paper! Dr Joanna Aldridge and I simulated hailstorms in a warmer world over major Australian cities. We project increased hailstone size around Sydney/Canberra, Melbourne and Perth, and increased frequency around Sydney/Canberra and Brisbane. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Predictions of more damaging hail for our big cities. Latest research from @timraupach.com @ccrc.bsky.social

Professor David Keith has been awarded the 2025 International Cosmos Prize, one of the world’s most esteemed honours in environmental and ecological research.

Long-term evidence for the benefits of feral removal in our arid zone. New paper from Katherine Moseby et al. in Proc Royal Soc B - royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #wildoz

🌎 My first paper is out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! We propose the Interaction Opportunists Hypothesis: changes in biotic interactions may drive species downhill, equatorward, or to shallower waters under #ClimateChange. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #RangeShifts #Ecology

New global review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity, incl. CCRC’s Alex Sen Gupta, shows marine heatwaves are reshaping ecosystems from coral bleaching to kelp loss disrupting fisheries,food webs & coastal livelihoods. Urgent need to cut emissions, build resilience & adapt fast. doi.org/10.1038/s443....

The Mauna Loa Observatory, home of the iconic Keeling Curve is at risk of shutdown. A new Conversation piece by CCRC's Alex Sen Gupta, @katrinmeissner.bsky.social & @timraupach.com explains why this matters for climate science. Don’t miss it. theconversation.com/mauna-loa-ob...

Key climate wild cards like tipping points and abrupt shifts are still missing from many models. A new piece by CCRC’s @katrinmeissner.bsky.social & Steven Sherwood explains why accounting for these uncertainties is essential. Read the full piece here: www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/new...

Australian friends! I'm going to be visiting Sydney in just over a week. I'll be at UNSW on June 23-25th and Macquarie on June 26-27th. I'd love to catch up with people in person, and also will be giving (at least) two talks at UNSW. The first is science-of-science modeling talk, on June 23:

We're delighted to announce the reappointment of @jwmorganecology.bsky.social and @markooiecol.bsky.social as Co-Editors-in-Chief of Australian Journal of Botany! Their continued leadership ensures the journal remains at the forefront of botanical research in Australia and beyond 🌱 📖

Includes commentary from Richard Kingsford on the challenges with unapproved rewilding efforts www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Unprecedented heat in the North Atlantic Ocean kickstarted Europe’s hellish 2023 summer. Now we know what caused it theconversation.com/unprecedente...

Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.👇👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Many of us are hostage to our phones – and it’s not unlike having head lice.

The biggest "meta-analysis" ever? - 17 million effect sizes - elifesciences.org/articles/95857 With wonderful @coreytcallaghan.bsky.social and Will Cornwell We question the abundance-occupancy relationships using ebird data - we find ~ zero correlation

Antarctica has its own ‘shield’ against warm water – but this could now be under threat theconversation.com/antarctica-h...

A fun short paper we wrote about new plant species discovered and subsequently described thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social records, with recommendations for optimising this process into the future!

New paper out! After the 2019-2020 #fires in Australia our team undertook #IUCN Red List assessments of fire affected #plant species, to handle the volume we undertook paired rapid and full assessments and compared their accuracy 1/4 doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...
