08.01.2022 Today is Penguin Awareness Day! UC honours student Emma Black is doing her research on the Adelie penguin and their habitat. Emma is working with the Australia Antarctic Division, with her research supervised by Louise Emmerson, Colin Southwell, Duanne White, and Bernd Gruber. Emma shares that for many years, researchers have studied and understood the relationships that Adelie penguins have with the marine environments. However, we still know little about their relationship with the ice-free lands in which they breed. One of the gaps in our knowledge of this relationship is the impact that geological properties have on Adelie penguin breeding habitat. Head to our Instagram stories to read more about her research and take part in a fun Penguin Awareness Day quiz! #penguinawarenessday

03.01.2022 "I’m a farmer as well as an Assistant Professor at UC, and when I look out my window at home, it’s a joy to see the land bursting with life, seeing as how we’ve been in drought for so long, and after the disasters of the bushfires and COVID-19." Looking around campus this spring, and you will see that it has become a dense swathe of Bulbina bulbosa 'Bulbine Lilies' or 'Native Onions'. Their tall stems topped with yellow flowers signal that there is edible treasure below, lo...ng valued by traditional Aboriginal food gatherers across South East Australia a corm rather than a true bulb, high in calcium and iron.
