Hydrology Paper of the Day Ryan Webb
on the hydrology of snowpacks that are relatively
shallow and do not last over long periods of
time: a 1.5 m depth threshold; seasonal durations
and temperature states; remote sensing, models
and parametrizations; and future research.

Thanks Andrew Schwartz, great to be part of this important international work. This new understanding of snowpacks is also important outcome from decade-long program that Snowy Hydro supported, and Shane Bilish also led some of that great work on the snow processes and dynamics

Very excited that our paper on a new 'Marginal' class of snowpack has been published!

These are shallow, warm, nearly constantly isothermal, undergo multiple accumulation/ablation phases, and are expanding due to climate change. Check it out here 👇

Thanks for a great seminar Martino Malerba 🇺🇦, some interesting work of the Blue Carbon Lab and ideas very applicable to #smartdsms

‘Teal Carbon’ refers to freshwater wetlands. Their degradation can release CO2 and methane.
Dr. Martino Malerba 🇺🇦, ARC DECRA Fellow at Blue Carbon Lab, highlighted their best management practices for increasing carbon emissions abatement.

Get ready to dive into the world of agriculture and environment at the upcoming UWA Open Day this Sunday! We're excited to show you all the amazing opportunities within our school. Swing by the SAgE Hub, located in EZONE Central. See you there! #UWASAgE #UWAOpenDay #seekUWA

What a turnout to our March POP Up Field Day!

With less than a week’s notice, over 50 Compass members came to see our #smartdams site and listen to a panel session discussing 2024 sheep systems.

It’s great to see farmer investment in future sheep and water management.
