A Changing Reality in the Alps with Ruby Olsson - POWcast Episode 5

Episode 5 of the POWcast unpicks Our Changing Snowscapes, a report on the impact of climate change on the Australian Alps. We’re joined by the report’s lead author, Ruby Olsson, a researcher at the Australian National University’s Fenner School of Environment. Ruby’s research has focused on how to manage our natural resources in a changing climate. Her love of the Aussie Alps has also driven her to research this part of the world. Ruby is currently working on her PhD which looks at snow gum decline due to bushfires and dieback, where a changing climate has made the mountain trees more susceptible to attack from native beetles.
The episode also features POW directors Sam Quirke, Alastair McLeod and Jess Willemse, who break down the importance and impact of the report, and the next steps for the Aussie alpine-loving community.
