Yes, they have water sometimes. Yes, they are valuable for ecosystems and people. Why are they? Where are they? Stay tuned, all will be revealed!

Registered!! 🥳 Now I just have to convert it to Aussie time and hope I can attend at least some of it 🤞😆 Check this out @ADRN_rivers @AusFreshwater @rmazor @tdatry @sdlanghans @KlementTockner @DvonSchiller @VicencAcuna and the rest of the #IRES gang 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

12 days left to make a submission ✍️✍️ The strategic plan is succinct and clearly-written The online submission process is well-structured and works a treat #LakeEyreBasin

paraphrase from the Discussion: In studies of groundwater recharge, assumption of homogeneous subsurface conditions can produce results that don't accurately represent real streams. This limits the effectiveness of decision-support tools used by land/catchment managers.

And *two days left* to apply for our technical Earth Observation/Data/Spatial Scientist roles at #DigitalEarthAU - closes at midnight tomorrow! (Thurs 6 October 2022)
Following on from the "Team leader" positions last week, we now also have a bunch of technical Earth Observation/Data/Spatial Scientist roles at #DigitalEarthAU! Come join us to do awesome science with an incredible archive of satellite imagery! #EOjobs candidate.aurion.cloud/ga/pr…

If you know of students or Indigenous scientists who are thinking of attending this year’s conference of the Australian Freshwater Sciences Society #AFSS , please encourage them to apply for a travel grant ✈️ This year’s conference is at the beautiful Batemans Bay NSW #AFSS2022 – at Brisbane, Queensland
*AFSS Awards - Make sure you make your nominations for the Hilary Jolly Medal and the Early Career Excellence Award. *Indigenous and Student Travel Grants - Apply for a grant to use towards attending #AFSS2022 auswatersoc.org/awards-progr… #AFSS2022

Thrilled to be on a new ARC linkage grant. Congrats to Dr Duncan Keenan-Jones who has worked very hard to get this project up. Title is 'Diving into the Desert. Indigenous and Future Floodplain Management'. #mithaka #culturalheritage #climatechange #queensland #sustainability

📣PhD Opportunities + Scholarships 📣 3 great opportunities available with themes such as #citizenscience, mitigating #thermalpollution and #FirstNations water rights in #Australian inland waterways. @CharlesSturtUni @Gulbali_Inst research.csu.edu.au/study-wi…
Biota from rivers which are sometimes/often dry - diverse, abundant, we should get to know them better! #habitat #nonperennial #rivers
Our paper in Biological Reviews has just been published!! 🥳🍾 @tdatry, @sdlanghans, #IRES, @ADRN_rivers “The terrestrial and semi-aquatic invertebrates of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams” It is open access! Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
#nonperennial rivers aren't just non-working versions of "normal" rivers, they have their own suite of characteristics. Catchment and land management needs to start from good information!
Replying to @SASalinasRodrig
4/10 Such a method was implemented in #NonPerennial rivers with the same criteria. On-site outcomes in different #Streamflow types revealed that ephemeral streams & intermittent rivers depend differently on hydrology, climate & geography/orography than #Perennials.

Freshwater Ecologists: do you have a paper that you want to get more attention? @PSUecosystems Limnology undergrads will make podcasts using *short* (<20 min) interviews with paper authors. I will tweet the podcasts and paper url. Sign up here: forms.gle/v51NQhMkzqG7EYPP6. Plz RT!

This morning I'm digging through the history of river research in Australia. Check out this beautiful piece I found from 1980, on calculating river volume using simple tracers. Clear and concise. Apparently it's never been cited. @ADRN_rivers publish.csiro.au/sr/pdf/SR98…

another great ADRN online meetup yesterday. There's such potential for interesting #interdisciplinary #research in the #nonperennial #rivers of Australia. Do you work in a sometimes-dry river? What does your field area look like? Post and share! 🧵
