So excited to see this out! Aerated environments can be major sources of methane. This is due to the activities of aerotolerant methanogens. In the process, we show unexpected feedbacks between pollution and climate change. @ning_hall @MBiogeochem biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Sharing our new manuscript in @ISMEJournal led by Dr @TessFHutchinson and @MBiogeochem. By tracking how the carbon in glucose is broken down in samples and isolates, she definitely shows fermentation dominates in sands, anaerobic respiration in muds. academic.oup.com/ismej/artic…

High-profile economist Jeffrey Sachs is due to give a speech at @MonashUni this week. Staff are on strike. On behalf of the staff union at Monash University, I have written to Professor Sachs asking him not to cross our picket line. @JeffreyDvSachs

Utrecht University @UniUtrecht in the Netherlands has withdrawn itself from the World University ranking @THEworldunirank provided by @timeshighered. As this has generated quite some reactions - praise, questions, some doubts, I want to provide some context. Hence a thread 🧵1/16

Important note to the Australian federal government regarding the safeguard mechanism.
10 Mar 2023
There is a big problem today where countries and large companies are investing in forests and soil carbon to offset their fossil CO2 emissions.
This fundamentally does not work from a physical climate perspective, and threatens to undermine net-zero targets.

Our latest paper. Nitrate rich groundwater stimulates phytoplankton production but not secondary production in an estuary. Environmental flows stimulate both including Black Bream larvae. Great collaboration across biogeochemistry/ecology sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Very important thread. The 'we don't have enough raw material for renewables' line is being repeated a lot.
19 Nov 2022
Have others told you there are not enough raw materials to transition to 100% renewables?
Did they say minerals are the new oil?
Maybe they believed @SimonMichaux of @GTK_FI?
If so, please explain to them they were fooled, by showing them this thread.

Scientific productivity is stagnating: we get less innovation per dollar of R&D. One reason is risk aversion: we fund incremental projects & established researchers. @patrickc & @heidilwilliams_ make the case for faster, curiosity-driven research. wsj.com/articles/stagnant-sc…

Our team and @Chownlab are recruiting for 3yr postdoctoral fellowship and 3.5yr PhD studentship. Q1 2023 start. Focused on how climate change will affect microbial biodiversity and biogeochemistry in terrestrial Antarctica. Ads out soon, but informal inquiries welcome meanwhile.

Important paper. Need to consider fugitive emissions of nitrogen if ammonia is used in significant quantities as a fuel - e.g., shipping.
5 Oct 2022
More and more interest in ammonia as carbon-free fuel but is it a good idea? May solve one problem (CO2) by creating a new one (N2O other N emissions). N2O may cancel ammonia's climate benefit. Other N damages nature. nature.com/articles/s41560-0… @GreeningXin @PNNLlab @NatureEnergyJnl
