Nine ways extreme events reshape river biodiversity How floods, droughts, heatwaves, and compound events are impacting life in rivers

What do floods, droughts, heatwaves and compound events actually do to river ecosystems?

My latest post walks through nine real-world impact pathways — from reaching physiological limits to cascading network‑wide effects.

A guided tour of a rapidly changing reality.

Government’s new science institute to lose 6% of staff less than a year after forming The Bioeconomy Science Institute is shedding 6% of its staff.

And people wonder why NZ’s R&D spend is way lower than the rest of the OECD & our productivity is in the toilet. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

We have been speaking of these things for years, but now the scale is vast and the speed is grave.

Thank you @drtomharris.bsky.social

Not that I can read the article, but it looks promising. It’s pretty damn hard to find time to think and write. So many emails, so many reporting requests. Universities need adequate funding to support excellent research by staff and students alike.

Climate change is here. NZ isn't ready

Analysis: A serious approach to climate adaptation requires reckoning with the grim reality the future holds: more storms, more floods, more heat.

Ditto to what Dr Blackdeer said. And knowing you have had impact.

More women are professors, but gender gaps continue to plague NZ universities New Zealand universities are slowly closing the pay gap, but men are still more likely to fill senior leadership roles in the highest pay brackets.

theconversation.com/more-women-a...

Large pay gap disparities persist for academic women in #NZ. No surprise really. Does your uni have a 10 year strategic plan to address this? Also clear gaps for Pacific staff at universities where I have seen the data.

“New Zealand hopeful it’s not surrounded by ocean.”

Good luck Port Waikato. We’re in this together. Or at least we would be, if the current government demonstrated any leadership.

Today I am announcing my campaign for the Dunedin City Council byelection.

I’m standing to offer leadership that's ready to go on day one; that's willing & able to challenge the government’s reforms; & that's prepared to make decisions in the best long-term interests of the city.
