Over on LinkedIn, my colleague Prof. Wendy Timms has a nice video of her on groundwater recharge fieldwork in the lava caves at Byaduk. Check it out!

Come underground in this rough cut quick video from the past few days (and earlier)! We are exploring the relationship between each rainfall event and water underground - led by Prof Andy Baker FRSN FAGU with a wide research team. The Australian Research Council funded setup of this National Observatory*. Shout out to local helpers including catchment managers, geotech engineers and gold geologists, my family, and students and uni staff who have ventured into our underground spaces in mines, tunnels and caves for this valuable data (2022-to date). It's a followup to an IAH2025 presentation* on implications of record low soil moisture deficits across parts of Australia for water availability in catchments and basaltic aquifers and associated reports on drip seepage in local mines. Now back to the computer and catching up on desk work.... *The IAH presentation is here with links to download several journal papers and articles: https://lnkd.in/geCsZSji

Spring is here, and with that the mining bees have emerged. We are trying out our airborne eDNA sampling in an aggregation that is close to campus. Concentration of airborne eDNA is LOW, so please wish us luck!

Earlier this week I had the good fortune to help #LincolnUniversityNZ ecology Masters student Heidi Allan with her field work.

Heidi's got an ambitious big-scale discovery project going, looking at the beetle communities in native NZ beech forest canopies all the way from Kaikoura on the east coast to Punakaiki on the west coast, and from the lowlands up into the Southern Alps.

The beetle community in NZ's beech canopies is largely unexplored, and has never been sampled at anything close to this scale before. Heidi's bound to find lots of new things. She'll also greatly increase our knowledge of how this community is affected by climate.

Here are some photos from our trip. Along with Heidi are John Marris, the curator of our university entomology museum, and our university's herpetologist (and lover of creepy crawlies) Jennifer Gillette.

Third attempt to get sediments from the "Unterer Eissee" beneath the Hallstätter Glacier, Austria. We carried our equipment three hours up, partially steep slopes and deep snow. In 1.5h, we dug a 1.6 m pit into the snow on the lake and moved c. 2.5 (metric) tonnes of snow with three avalanche rescue shovels, just to find out that what used to be the deepest part of the lake was dry. We still took 2 sediment cores, one of which was ruined by an adjacent stone. In 10h of field work, we further ruined one sediment corer, one snowshoe and a glove.

This is not what successful #fieldwork looks like...
