I recently completed my PhD pre-confirmation seminar where I proposed my research project in palaeoecology. I’m hoping to analyse changes in vegetation pre & post-British Invasion on Butchulla Country at K’gari, and understand whether these changes have influenced fire regimes!

@HaydenDaltonGeo @abcnews @SciNate @SciMelb @UniMelb Unreal!!! This is awesome.

Made my national TV debut yesterday on @abcnews Breakfast with @SciNate. We chatted all about the recent, and repeated, volcanic eruptions near Grindavík in Iceland 🌋 Thanks to Nate for having me and making it so fun! Watch our chat : youtu.be/_nf7zUIxcZ0 @SciMelb @UniMelb

@Palaeo_Sheridan Unreal!!

@VeraKorasidis @SciMelb @UniMelb Congrats Vera!

Delighted to announce my new continuing role as a #Lecturer in Environmental #Geoscience at the University of #Melbourne @SciMelb @UniMelb! Huge thank you to everyone who inspired and supported me over the years! #WomeninSTEM

Was privileged to recently attend my first international conference, @InquaRoma2023. A fruitful opportunity, having met so many incredible researchers and learning of their projects. Many thanks to the organisers, and @Melb_Palaeo for so generously supporting this opportunity.

2. Known by most Australians as “gum trees”, the eucalypts are made up of three closely-related groups (genera): Angophora (10 species), Corymbia (~100) and Eucalyptus (~750). #NationalEucalyptDay #NED10 2/10

To celebrate 10 years of #NationalEucalyptDay, here are 10 facts about #eucalypts! 1. There are ~ 850 species of eucalypt, although that number is always changing as we learn more through scientific exploration. #NED10 1/10

@palaeoport @AusQuaternary @AINSE_Ltd Congrats @palaeoport !!! Well deserved

Grateful to have been awarded best student poster presentation at my first conference #AQUA2022! Thanks to @AusQuaternary, @AINSE_Ltd, and an extra dose of appreciation for my Master’s supervisor, Russell Drysdale, for all the help throughout the year!

The @SciMelb School of Geography Earth and Atmospheric Sciences crew at the @AusQuaternary conference. For most, our first in person conference since 🦠😷! Great to catch up with old colleagues and new. Loved every minute of it! ❤️ Thanks @zuorui_liu for the 📷! #AQUA22

This legend, nailed it!🔥

@HaydenDaltonGeo @theotheroad @Melb_Palaeo @pollenpal @Palaeo_Sheridan @SarahCooleyGeo @Henriquez_WI @magee_harriet @AusQuaternary Cheers @HaydenDaltonGeo ! Thanks for all the help this year.

@theotheroad @Melb_Palaeo @pollenpal @Palaeo_Sheridan @PalaeoPeeks @SarahCooleyGeo @Henriquez_WI @magee_harriet @AusQuaternary What a line up! And congrats, Pat that's awesome! 🎉👏

@theotheroad @Melb_Palaeo @pollenpal @Palaeo_Sheridan @SarahCooleyGeo @Henriquez_WI @magee_harriet @AusQuaternary Thanks Michael! @theotheroad. #aqua2022 was a great experience - cheers for the opportunity.

Finishing off my honours year at #AQUA2022. Great opportunity to present a snippet of my research. Well done and best of luck to my friends and colleagues @magee_harriet @Palaeo_Sheridan @pollenpal @Henriquez_WI @SarahCooleyGeo, and a big thankyou to my supervisor @theotheroad

Day 1 of #AQUA22 was a blast with so many interesting talks + great @UniMelb representation! @AmyLPrendergast @zuorui_liu @kia_matley @PalaeoPeeks and more

Great first day at #AQUA2022 @AusQuaternary with lots of amazing talks and posters. Shout out to @magee_harriet @PalaeoPeeks for presenting their research on changes in fire regimes and fuel loads since the removal of Aboriginal people across SE Australia @pf_fire

Patrick @PalaeoPeeks & Louisa @Palaeo_Sheridan presented their honours research today 👏. Incredible results of high-resolution palaeoecological records reflective of their hard work and dedication. Well done! 🎉.

What can lake sediments, pollen, trees and charcoal tell us about paleoclimate and past fire events? @theotheroad, @magee_harriet, @pollenpal and @PalaeoPeeks gave the @SciMelb work experience students a whistle-stop tour of the methods they use to reconstruct past environments!
