This week we hosted @hcadd.bsky.social at the Nottingham Pollen Lab @nottspollen.bsky.social ! Lots of great discussions about present and future work to unpack 🔥, human activities and climate change through past millennia in Australia and beyond.
Homemade pistachio cake post-seminar was delicious!

Fire regimes in Mediterranean climates are shifting towards more frequent/severe events. Study shows strong links between fire, #plant traits & community response.🔥impacts traits like #seed mass, #leaf area, & wood density at the community level besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We also find a strong association between fire occurrence and biomass.

Spent a day in the dark yesterday opening a series of sediment cores from Lake Mungo in the Willandra world heritage area. Excited to see what these sediments will reveal about the past environments of the region
