Description
Abstract: The simultaneous measurement of meteorological variables along with ecosystem physiology has improved our understanding of how native and managed ecosystems respond to external forcings like climate change. This talk will identify how this can be achieved using integration of field-based measurements, satellite remote sensing, and modelling. The talk will also detail how Australia's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) is supporting ecosystem process research at the local, national and international scales.
Biography: Caitlin is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Agriculture and Environment at The University of Western Australia, and she is a WA representative for Australia's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN). Her research focuses on understanding native and managed ecosystem processes from the leaf to landscape scale.

This talk will revisit and contextualise the invasion predicted by Cellarius within a framework of biosecurity risk assessment.
Chloroplasts can sense environmental fluctuations via Ca2+ signaling. Environmental triggers, such as light changes, physical damage and heat waves, can induce distinct Ca2+ signatures in chloroplasts, which may help rebalance photosynthesis and stress responses under fluctuating conditions.
Transitioning to renewable fuel oils is essential for replacing fossil fuels, promoting environmental sustainability and improving human health.
