migrating my follow-following links from Xitter to here. What a big job. By some odd coincidence, much of the online community engagement dropped right off after mid-2022. I really miss the active community that was present before that time

FFS could the #ABCnewsAustralia please stop referring to drylands Australia in these derogatory ways. Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is a fine piece of geography, wet or dry. Not a wasteland. Geez. Pejorative much?

Yesterday's field trip up the Waipaoa catchment, lots to learn about uplift, lithology and landslide risk, and cyclone-driven sedimentation. 20m aggradation in this river valley! and terraces and views

This time last year I was hyped and ready to take my #Stardew fit to #PAXAus.
This year I'm excited to be joining the Enforcer team for @PAXAus . I have no idea what lies before me, but I've got hair bobbles and I'm not afraid to use them
