The CAC team and a few extra volunteers have been on fieldwork deploying 4 (and soon 5) EM27/SUN total-column FTIR spectrometers to validate satellite measurements of methane around the upper Hunter Valley, NSW.
Pictures show first install, and intercomparison of all instruments.

Congratulations to @UOW PhD candidate Allison Broad on being awarded a $20K NSW ports community grant 🥳
This will support 2 urban murals (Wollongong & Port Kembla) depicting the Great Southern Reef, raising awareness about our amazing local coastal environment 🪸🐠🎣
@UOWGC
I was recently interviewed about some satellite measurements showing large methane emissions over Queensland. See the article here:

It's been a while since we've tweeted - but this is a big week in @UowCac. It's the annual @tccon_ftir, COCCON and NDACC-IRWG meeting, taking place virtually. We kicked off today with an Asia/Oceania kick-off meeting, and then our region's joint poster session with the Americas.
Looking forward to catching up with our European colleagues this evening (our time) in the next poster session, and to some further fruitful discussions.
Hopefully we can meet in person next year.

New work looking at CO2 emissions/uptake before, during, and after the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires, featuring @uowcac, @tccon_ftir, led by @BKAByrne.
@nick_deutscher @dfpollard
A research team, including UOW researchers, has found that the Black Summer bushfires released an amount of carbon that is nearly double Australia’s annual fossil fuel emissions. Read more about the team's findings 👉 uow.to/3yJaObG.
So if we were to have more fires within that 20 year timeframe, there would be a constant degradation of the ecosystems - largely the forests of south-east Australia in this case.

Of course, this is all because of feedbacks due to #climatechange - without this we would not be so prone to drought, the forests would not burn so intensely and would be able to rely on millions of years of adaptation to fire to recover before burning again.
