Paper publication day is one of my favourite days! Our paper on wildfire ash chemistry is out today and #OpenAccess in the #AGU journal 'Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems.' We analysed the inorganic and organic chemistry of wildfire (and prescribed burn) ashes from 4 karst areas in Australia and found that ash chemistry varies with burn severity and sampling location. Another team effort from #ANSTO, #UNSW, #UWA, #GNSScience colleagues (👋 @Andbaker )

If you are interested in the chemical tracers of wildfires, and how those might vary with burn severity, check out our new #preprint https://www.authorea.com/doi/full/10.22541/au.170689252.26414470/v1

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

Science week is over here in Australia.

Over the past few days, I was taking part in Capricorn Caves 'Big Science Adventure'. Here are some photos:

Our research cave drip loggers were downloaded and we found out how much rain was needed for water to reach the caves.

A cave guides training session was held. By chance, we found a rare geomorphological feature - photokarren

And we had a stall explaining the caves climate, hydrology and geological history.

How many undergraduates can you fit in a radiocarbon dating laboratory?

About 60 Earth and Environmental Science students it seems.

And a fish-eye lens helps
