Earth has tilted 31.5 inches since the '90s due to the pumping of groundwater. This has also contributed to sea-level rise. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Working from home…

88% of staff have rejected #ANU's attempt to take away the next pay rise. "This vote is a clear vote of no confidence in their management style." - #NTEU ANU Branch President Millan Pintos-Lopez

Thank you to all those people putting out starter packs - so helpful 🙏🏽

A message for ANU colleagues who have found their way here - please consider voting no next week. Many of us want to help maintain jobs, but this vote to give away a hard-won wage rise will hit casuals and ECRs hard - and there are no management guarantees that jobs will actually be saved

Made my first starter pack! These are the climate journalists I know and love and highly recommend following on BlueSky so far. Please tell me who I'm missing (and apologies in advance if I've missed you, I swear it's not intentional!) go.bsky.app/1ivUnG

Forested countries want to start trading their UN REDD+ results under the new article 6 emissions trading scheme. Some see it as an ideal place to generate well-needed finance for tropical forests. Others are more skeptical. I delve into the debate here for @mongabay.bsky.social —>

Hello everyone, I thought about giving up social media altogether but will give this a go 😀. I am a political ecologist & esp focus on the international politics of biodiversity conservation - most recently on illegal wildlife trade. Project is beastlybusiness.org

Climate Change “Climate justice and social justice topics need to be part of the discussion for both climate mitigation and climate adaptation." “We need to change our economy to a system that supports meeting basic needs for all people instead of excessive consumption by the wealthy."

In an otherwise difficult week, great to hear my colleague @AssaDoron on the poultry-chemicals-health-sustainability nexus 🤞🏾 for our DP application on this crucial topic ‘China, chickens and fire’ (at 28 mins) www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

For all the settlers who voted Yes: now isn't the time to air your guilt and your tears. No one needs that right now. Its time to face with sober senses the reality of this colony. To recommit to solidarity and the long fight for the rights of Indigenous peoples in this place. Nothing less.

"The politics of asking must cease. Many activists will want to hit the streets once again, but this is not the 1970s… What we require is a different kind of political action... never asking for permission." theconversation.com/the-failed-r...

We have a new job opening at Sheffield Geography - Lectureship in Human Geography, open-ended, deadline 24th October 2023

📣 We have a COVER! I am so grateful that my book is coming out this spring with @UChicagoPress. It’s the product of relationships going back at least 12 years, when I landed in South Baltimore to teach. Longer if you count my family’s ties to this place over generations. 🧵
