💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🛸🔭 Astrobiologists warn we could miss evidence of #alien life because our tools and assumptions fail to detect it.
Researchers propose combining lab #experiments, modeling, and #fieldwork to address these gaps. #AI could help uncover patterns human observers might overlook in the #data.

Our field crew last week unanimously voted for meeting a bear in the woods over a man. Confirming our choice we saw this beautiful bear this is a cell phone photo I got (no zoom, close!), just wandered out and back in. Later, a dude who showed up, yelled, reported us (not believing we had permission to be there and claimed besties with property manager - also a lie lol) confirmed we chose Bear correctly.

Blue Agama (Pseudotrapelus sinaitus), Jordan 2023 Pentax k1ii, Pentax DA* 300 f4 (I think) Missing not being in Jordan right now, and found this favorite shot from a few years ago. #Jordan #Lizard #Fieldwork

A rumination on a decade of ecological fieldwork. It is structured like a paper, but it is a nicely spare and clear-eyed narrative.

In this piece, the author doesn't even identify the birds he is studying; if you're curious, they are Magellanic penguins.

Thanks to the team at Wombeyan Caves for another successful groundwater research fieldtrip.
Cave drip loggers were downloaded for the last 7 months. Drip water and groundwater samples wwre collected for tracer analysis. The drip logger sites from the 2000s and the research of Janece McDonald were inspected. A Syp water sampler was installed, maybe it will work. And impromptu sci-comm occurred with cave tours groups.
The loggers recorded only one recharge event here since our last visit in September with @michcampbell. It was pretty dry.

Been out looking and listening for the Black Grouse again. This time without success. But hey at least there was snow (still shaking).

Been looking and listening for the Black Grouse again. This time with success.
Saw and recorded both male and female.
Due to a lack of a proper camera here is a shot taken through my bins of the female bird perched in a tree.
Also a lovely work desk. Next home office setup 😉#birding #birdcount #birdsofmastodon #fieldrecording #nature #BioAcoustics #fieldwork

⭕ COGO in #QField: Map features you can't reach on foot.
Define two reference points and a radius for each. QField calculates where the circles intersect — two candidates (A and B). You pick the right one.
Ideal for field centres, restricted areas, or features in difficult terrain. 🗺️

Over on LinkedIn, my colleague Prof. Wendy Timms has a nice video of her on groundwater recharge fieldwork in the lava caves at Byaduk. Check it out!

📏 COGO in #QField: Point by Distance & Angle
From a reference point, enter the bearing and distance — QField draws a live visual line to the calculated position.
Supports elevation offsets for 3D geometries too.
Perfect for infrastructure work: boundaries, buried pipes, underground cables. 🔧

Spring is here, and with that the mining bees have emerged. We are trying out our airborne eDNA sampling in an aggregation that is close to campus. Concentration of airborne eDNA is LOW, so please wish us luck!

Earlier this week I had the good fortune to help #LincolnUniversityNZ ecology Masters student Heidi Allan with her field work.
Heidi's got an ambitious big-scale discovery project going, looking at the beetle communities in native NZ beech forest canopies all the way from Kaikoura on the east coast to Punakaiki on the west coast, and from the lowlands up into the Southern Alps.
The beetle community in NZ's beech canopies is largely unexplored, and has never been sampled at anything close to this scale before. Heidi's bound to find lots of new things. She'll also greatly increase our knowledge of how this community is affected by climate.
Here are some photos from our trip. Along with Heidi are John Marris, the curator of our university entomology museum, and our university's herpetologist (and lover of creepy crawlies) Jennifer Gillette.

Third attempt to get sediments from the "Unterer Eissee" beneath the Hallstätter Glacier, Austria. We carried our equipment three hours up, partially steep slopes and deep snow. In 1.5h, we dug a 1.6 m pit into the snow on the lake and moved c. 2.5 (metric) tonnes of snow with three avalanche rescue shovels, just to find out that what used to be the deepest part of the lake was dry. We still took 2 sediment cores, one of which was ruined by an adjacent stone. In 10h of field work, we further ruined one sediment corer, one snowshoe and a glove.
This is not what successful #fieldwork looks like...
