This Department of Transport lidar data got me interested in subsea mapping. You can now explore it on my map here: dailywadata.com/day1-dotlida…

Fascinating paper! Great to see my QGIS sea level tool plugin illustrating the very different ancient landscape!
Our new study out in @ScienceAdvances shows human presence in Tasmania at least 41,600 years ago, nearly 2000 years earlier than previously thought, and Aboriginal people burned and used wet forests. Link: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Happy to announce the fourth annual update of @GeoscienceAus's #DEACoastlines coastal change dataset, featuring new annual shorelines for 2023! 🌊🛰️ Also new: a "layer selector" allowing you to easily switch between rates of change and annual shorelines at any level of zoom! 🗺

We have identified the earliest known wreck in the Swan River (so far…). We matched it to newspaper records of a barge full of stone, in 1882! I found the wreck using open data from the Department of Transport - there’s more out there in seabed datasets. abc.net.au/news/2024-08-21/p…

Here's a mind-blowing open data portal that I think should be far better known than it is: @GeoscienceAus's Historical Aerial Photography archive, containing 1.2 million aerial photos from the 1920s on! 🛩 🗺 🤯 Yellow dots = scanned downloadable photos! digital.atlas.gov.au/apps/9a…

This newly published paper provides the framework for a national-scale #EarlyWarningSystem for #storm #hazards along sandy #coastlines. The framework has currently been implemented at an operational capacity at two pilot sites in Australia, and is the culmination of several of my colleagues' research efforts, including components of my PhD thesis. Forecasts at the pilot sites can be seen from coastalews.wrl.unsw.edu.au Read the paper at sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

One of the great things about watching the #Netflix film on #Shanidar is that one has confidence that the team is doing good #science - such as documented in the @AntiquityJ article by @_dEmBones and team. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

My latest package for ⁦@SBSNews⁩ Rents for a house across the combined capitals rose at their fastest quarterly pace in 17 years in the March quarter. Domain says renting a house has now risen from $425 a week in March 2018 to $630 today. That's a near 50% rise.

The paper is open access and beautifully illustrated with images of many of the tools. Amazing detail of split-wood manufacture, sharpening and signs of use wear, and fire-hardening. These are quite obviously the tip of an unseen iceberg of technology. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2320484…
