Au-Wom Wombat Forest #eddycovariance tower spring clean and check ups. No water ingress in this anemometer 😃 And no damage from the storm on Wednesday, only one tree down in the plot. The DIY Lora #dendrometers survived winter too - mostly.

Spring cleaning and maintenance trip to Au-Tum Tumbarumba this week! It got a bit wet and foggy up there 😐. But a good trip anyway! #flux data analysis for the year so far resulted in some interesting challenges too. #eddycovariance #unimelb #tern #tern

Check ups, and updates at some of my #eddycovariance #fluxtowers, big and small, this week. Data coming in nicely. #ozflux

Good news! We installed a new #eddycovariance flux tower this week during a too short trip to the outback. This time we're monitoring salt bush vegetation. It is a fantastic opportunity to work in an arid landscape. Seemingly endless plains, great scenery, and ever changing colours. #ozflux

Had a great time at the #fluxnet 2025 conference @fluxnet.bsky.social Great people, new ideas, new challenges. 😃

That would have been great for me a few years ago... #clot

After the recent redesign /rebuild and upgrade of the Au-Whr Whroo flux tower to prevent further theft and vandalism, we now reinstalled a mixture of old and new soil sensors. #eddycovariance

Excited to share our new paper led by Tsinghua Uni ECR Zhang Han: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... New model based on eco-evolutionary optimality explains observed seasonal and spatial trends in stem respiration, implies stem CO2 efflux down by >25% by 2100, reducing land carbon emissions.

Great to see that the beloved red gondola is still going strong at KROFF! #memories #casiroz

Three #eddycovariance towers in three days. Moved one, added two. These little towers are part of a long term agricultural trial.

Backyard eddycovariance tower 😉. I set up a system at home over the Easter holidays to tweak, test, and monitor the setup. Let's find out if my backyard is a carbon sink or source. Science at home 👍

Preparation of the next three #fluxtowers has started 😀. #newgearday. Hope they'll be deployed before winter.

#bikepacking weekend in Gariwerd / Grampians National Park

Another big week at the Au-Tum Tumbarumba flux tower: Installed a profile system to improve the #eddycovariance measurements.

On the way to #fluxtower work in the high country.

Good bye Twitter! 😥 HELLO BLUESKY!!! 😀

Good news, everyone! #Flux tower AU-Tum Tumbarumba is back! Incredible effort by the #UoM team this week to install #EddyCovariance sensors and power system to bring the new tower online. Thanks Ian, Rhys, Stefan and Lizzo! #OzFlux #TERN #teamcounduit @stefanarndt.bsky.social
