I’m using an ArcGIS StoryMap to document #fieldwork across #Tasmania and #NewZealand for the Southern Dustscapes project. It records sites, field observations, and sampling. Have a look if you’re interested in #Quaternary, #geomorphology, #loess or if you just want to see photos. arcg.is/XnDj10

In Tasmania’s remote southwest, dry lightning storms are starting huge conflagrations across treeless plains. Could a return to cultural burning help?

Australian researchers have discovered how a large mountain chain resembling the European Alps and buried deep below the East Antarctic ice sheet, grew and partly collapsed more than half a billion years ago. Read more: utas.au/mountain_chain

Feeling bogged down or mired in anxiety? Consider that boglands, once equated to wastelands of misery, offer beauty and innovation. These treasures protect history as they control our climate future. With internal strength built one peat layer at a time, bogs control vast landscapes. Love the bogs.

"But instead of pining for the past we might have to turn our focus to building the future – a future in which the scampering, bitey, ever-evolving descendants of today’s Tasmanian devils and eastern quolls (the great-great-great grand-nieces of the thylacine, 72 times removed) can thrive."

Can we recreate a lost world? In Tasmania, anything could happen

The thylacine might walk again. Or Lake Pedder might rise again. The possibility of ecological restoration in the island state plays into the appeal of going back in time

a beautifully written piece by Andrew Darby "And Tasmania is in a new age of fire." the fact is that we are seeing ancient Gondwana flora burn in places that have never before burnt This is climate change We must protect it like the treasure it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

theguardian.com

Jurassic-era trees have grown in Tasmania for millions of years. Now they face their biggest threat: fire

Pencil pines grow for more than a thousand years each, and only in Tasmania. As lightning fires become more common, humans must mobilise to protect them – or lose these ancients forever
