Good news for all the student members! Student travel awards are up now! 16 awards are available this year to help students make their way to the 2020 conference in Jamaica. Deadline for application is February 21st. More details on the website!

Are you a SEB student member planning to come to the upcoming conference in Jamaica, May 31-June 4, 2020? We want to hear from YOU! What student events do you want to see at this conference? Your feedback is very important to us so that we can go about planning these events for you! So please, send a message on here or get in touch with Aja or Karsten to let us know! We will definitely be having a student mixer, so that’s already settled. Details to follow on that later. Here’s a photo from the 2018 student mixer.

Likely by now we have all heard about the catastrophic and devastating fires that are decimating Australia. Though climate change obviously has a roll to play in this, many are arguing that a loss of traditions is also to blame. In a recent BBC article, Sharon Foster, aboriginal knowledge keeper for the D’harawl people, says that current forms of controlled burning are naive and destroy natural lands rather than enhancing them. Traditional aboriginal “cool burns”, by contrast, are low and only burn kindling like leaf detritus that could contribute to larger blazes. Such practices can limit the amount of burnable materials from 10 tonnes down to 1 tonne when practiced correctly, all without devastation of the landscape. Foster also shares that her elders have been assessing the environment for a long time and have predicted that a time of large fires was coming due to the accumulation of dry materials.
