#ClimateDiary It occurs to me that some of you might be interested in #RepeatPhotography and how it can be combined with #Ethnography and other research methods, and how this combination helps interrogate narratives of environmental change, including our own. If so, you might find this 2020 article by me interesting: “Partial Stories. Repeat Photography, Narratives and Environmental Change in Tanzania”

(thinking about methods myself today, hence post!) @academicchatter

@nostalgiaph @cendawanita this photo reminds me of the pictures i used for a #RepeatPhotography projeft i did in #Tanzania - very similar pictures from the 1910s to 1930s. Virtually all the areas were now covered in far more trees. Would be interested to know what the changes have been around Kennon Road

@essie_is_okay this is so interesting to see - also for followers of #ClimateDiary! It would be great if you could perhaps add the hastag for the 29months update. I do love #RepeatPhotography

6 months and 14 months after a blisteringly hot bushfire in #westernaustralia .

It was the Feb 2021 Gidgegannup fire that destroyed homes and scorched everything in its path. It was so hot the land had only just begun recovering 6 months later.

You usually see the kinda growth in the first picture within weeks of a cool burn. The soil turned to sandy ash, with all the soil microbiome destroyed. I'll be going back soon for a 29 month update.

Big Bend National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

There is a place in Far West Texas where night skies are dark as coal and rivers carve temple-like canyons in ancient limestone. Here, at the end of the road, hundreds of bird species take refuge in a solitary mountain range surrounded by weather-beaten desert. Tenacious cactus bloom in sublime southwestern sun, and species diversity is the best in the country. This magical place is Big Bend...
