New research from our group: A pervasive increase in tree mortality across the Australian continent - driven by rising temperatures rdcu.be/eXSa7

Fully funded PhD opportunity in my lab to study threatened plant species responses to drought and heat. This is part of mu recently funded DECRA fellowship.

We are hiring three PhDs within the joint project ‘Forests in transition: The future of European beech under drought stress’. If you are interested in tree water relations in response to stem density reduction (subproject 2), see here: www.verw.tu-dresden.de/StellAus/ste....

Another rough Friday saying goodbye to more folks in my group who are leaving NASA. It’s hard enough to see these incredibly talented and dedicated folks leave the agency they love, but also know it didn’t have to be this way and we are setting our country back decades as we gut federal science.
