👏Huge congratulations to our very own Dr @MarianiMichaela on this 🔥groundbreaking🔥 research in @ScienceMagazine!👏 #WeAreUoN
Indigenous burning practices in Australia once halved shrub cover, reducing available fuels and limiting wildfire intensity for thousands of years, but the removal of these practices following European colonization has led to an increase in the tinder that has fueled today’s catastrophic megafires, researchers report in Science. bit.ly/40tJ6j8

We had our first anniversary meeting for our @LeverhulmeTrust funded project with lots of progress made on pollen modelling, pollen biochemistry and ancient DNA (and a pistachio tiramisu). Looking forward to seeing the results taking shape over the next 3 years. @NottsPollen
