Thanks to colleagues from #nswparks and #nswrfs for your time at #NorthRangeFire. It was good to see some regeneration happening in the area. @b_medlyn and @DrChoat I saw extended drought-affected areas around Hoskinstown, just before the fire perimeter.
Thanks to the fellows and everyone who helped to make the 4th Australian Climate and Water Institute a success - it was great to spend 2 weeks at @ANUFennerSchool with you all! @ozewex_org @nci_news @GeoscienceAus @BOM_au @CSIRO @MD_Basin_Auth (photo: @somewheresouth)
Apparently we can detect intentional arsony by satellite now. I didn't know that. This Hon. Senator finally found something on the @smh that suited her.
Fire ignition is not the same as fire spread, senator @Senator_CFW 😖 @p_hannam https://t.co/gqM16jXsfI
Arson, mischief and recklessness: 87 per cent of fires are man-made

River discharge can be estimated globally by MODIS-based satellite gauging reaches (SGRs), and river morphology explains how SGRs work. Our new paper @anu_wald is now available in Remote Sensing of Environment: https://t.co/ysiorSi8MO.
Cannot wait to start with this project with @Rachael_H_Nolan et al..! After years of "informal" collaborations, it's great to be able to work together officially!!

We thank @Myebra12 Dr Marta Yerba @ANUFennerSchool for presenting her timely research on the vital role remote sensing data and satellites are in monitoring the Australian landscape, on current fires and for predicting future fire behaviour.
