  1. Just published in Organic Geochemistry, "Fire-induced shifts in stalagmite organic matter mapped using Synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy", led by #ANSTO colleague Dr. Liza McDonough. We demonstrate for the first time that Synchrotron IRM is a promising non-destructive, high resolution (5 µm) technique for analysing stalagmite organic matter. The paper can be found #OpenAccess here: doi.org/10.1016/j.orggeochem.2

  2. If you are interested in the chemical tracers of wildfires, and how those might vary with burn severity, check out our new #preprint authorea.com/doi/full/10.22541

    We leached wildfire ashes and soils from karst areas, so we can better understand the speleothem palaeofire proxy signal. Another team effort, with co-authors from #UNSW (👋 @Andbaker) #ANSTO, #UWA, and #GNSScience

  3. Our @unsw / #ANSTO team is presenting at #EGU23 today! We're in session BG1.2, poster Hall A, from 2pm until the coffee break. Come and find as at A.191, A.202 and A.203 to see what we've been up to in the #speleothem #palaeofire world.
