Vegetation Turnovers Reduced Water Availability During the Last Icehouse
No full textDry-adapted plants likely created environments that promoted their success during the LPIA, whereby continued water use under dry conditions further dried soils and limited the abundance of drought-sensitive plants, thereby constituting an eco-evolutionary feedback. The representation of interacting plant traits in this palaeo-ecosystem modelling framework, increasingly representing whole plants, opens pathways to studying ecosystems dominated by extinct, non-analogue plants. Expanding application of the fossil record may improve our understanding of vegetation impacts on the terrestrial environment across deep time

No full textA journey exploring the depths of fear, uncertainty, and the inevitability of death. Written for voice, double bass, and live processed electronic sound, the composition confronts our deepest fears about life and death, and contemplates the nature of “letting go.” Through this sonic journey, the composition explores what it means—in the midst of the transitory nature of life—to try to hold on to the ephemeral, the intangible. One aspect of this question might be: do the dead hold on to the world, or is it actually the living who won’t let go
