🐨🌿🐦️ National Threatened Species Day is a time to reflect on what happened in the past and how similar fates to Australia's extinct species could await other native plants and animals unless appropriate action is taken.

The TERN Australia community appreciates the Threatened Species Index (TSX) team's dedication to monitoring and data collection, and celebrates their efforts and acheivements to date!

A world-first, the TSX delivers dependable metrics on the changes in the populations of Australia’s vulnerable species at all levels. Managed by TERN and backed by the Australian Government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

🌼💛 Happy National Wattle Day!

Today is Australia's annual reminder that Spring has sprung, and that yellow is, in fact, a personality trait.

This national day commemorates the first offical day of Spring in Australia by recognising Australia’s national floral emblem.

The Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) is a symbol of unity and resilience in the face of harsh conditions including droughts, wind, and bushfires.

🔍 Discover this dataset comprising spatially and temporally dynamic estimates of the monthly latent heat flux and sensible heat flux for all of Australia. Managing and understanding water resources requires data on latent heat flux dynamics across climatic zones at scales from regions to continents in both space and time.

Having spatially and temporally dynamic estimates of latent heat flux and sensible heat flux for all of Australia, means this data source can be used to model the water and energy dynamics of any ecosystem, catchment, or land management unit in Australia.

🔓️🌏️ NCRIS is helping unlock new insights into the Earth's Critical Zone—the foundation of life on our planet.

Professor David Chittleborough, Adelaide University and University of the Sunshine Coast, is working with collaborators across Australia to build the Australian Critical Zone Observatory Network, improving our understanding of how carbon, water, nutrients and energy move through the dynamic, life-sustaining, near-surface environment extending from the vegetation canopy down to unweathered bedrock. NCRIS-funded Providers Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network and AuScope are supporting this work by combining long-term and innovative above and below-ground monitoring systems to better understand how this critical zone is responding to a warming climate.

The Australian Government Department of Education’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program is a $4 billion program that provides Australian researchers with access to the tools, equipment, data, and services they use for their world-class research.

🗻 As snow, wind and ice transform Australia’s alpine landscapes, researchers at the Australian Mountain Research Facility (AMRF) brave some of the country’s harshest winter conditions to uncover how these unique ecosystems function and respond to change.

From battling blizzards and equipment failures to collecting critical year-round data, their work is revealing the hidden processes that shape the health of the high country.
