A wild potato carried across the Colorado Plateau reveals an Indigenous path toward domestication long before maize ruled the Southwest. Stone tools, starch grains, and living plants tell the story. #Archaeobotany #IndigenousScience #HumanEvolution https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-tiny-potato-that-traveled-far

Fascinating read. I guess it pays to ask the locals about local history.

Part of the amazing Ngunnhu of the Ngembri on the Barwon river at Brewarrinna, NSW, a complex stone net (literally) of ancient fish traps and holding ponds, designed to work efficiently in different water level and flow regimes.

Those of us in the business of modelling and understanding flows and networks could learn a thing or two here. 1/N

So, we've had 3 years of La Niña in Australia and this year was meant to be a fierce El Niño bringing more drought.

In 2020 the Ngangkari talked the rain clouds to come and rain.. personally I've never seen consistently wet summers like we've had the last number of years, and like we seem to have this year again.

The human impact of record wildfires this year are getting a lot of attention. But that is only part of the story. It has an impact on wildlife too, including deer.

Also appreciate how this article talks about "walking on two legs" in terms of Indigenous led science working with non-Indigenous scientists to better understand impact on deer populations.

Includes interview with Sarah Dickson-Hoyle of UBC Forestry.
