During his tenure as Chief Government Geologist of Queensland from 1908 until 1931, Benjamin Dunstan sold a complete Triassic amphibian fossil and Queensland’s largest meteo rite to overseas institutions. When he died in 1933, he left a personal collection of fossils and other geological material which his widow Ada Dunstan sold to the Natural History Museum in London. These included a large number of meteorites from Queensland’s famous Tenham meteorite shower. This paper documents these transactions and finds that there was little con sideration given in any of these cases to the value of these important geological specimens to Australian public collections or to the nation’s geological heritage. Ethical questions remain about the standards of provenance and ownership applied by both vendors and purchasers, in particular the role of Dunstan in his capacity as Queensland’s senior govern ment geologist.

In Queensland, tidal restriction of coastal wetlands alters their hydrological connection and creates freshwater-impounded wetlands, increasing methane emissions. We investigated greenhouse gas emissions from tidally restricted wetlands and compared them with adjacent tidally connected wetlands (saltmarsh and mangroves). Furthermore, we investigated the influence of seasons and soil physicochemical parameters on greenhouse gas emissions. Tidal restriction leads to significantly higher methane emissions compared to natural coastal wetlands. Soil redox, carbon density, nitrogen density and moisture were all significantly correlated to methane emissions. Seasons influenced greenhouse gas emissions, with higher emissions in summer. Overall, tidally restricted wetlands were emitting 2175 mg CO 2-eq .m 2 .d -1 , two orders of magnitude higher than tidally connected wetlands which emitted 18 mg CO 2-eq .m 2 .d -1 . This research is supporting tidal restoration in Queensland as a cost-effective strategy to mitigate climate change as it has the potential to enhance blue carbon burial rates and avoids long-term emissions of methane.
在昆士兰，沿海湿地的潮汐限制改变了它们的水文联系，造成了淡水淤积的湿地，增加了甲烷的排放。我们调查了潮汐限制湿地的温室气体排放，并将其与邻近的潮汐连接湿地(盐沼和红树林)进行了比较。此外，还研究了季节和土壤理化参数对温室气体排放的影响。潮汐限制导致的甲烷排放量明显高于天然滨海湿地。土壤氧化还原、碳密度、氮密度和湿度均与甲烷排放呈显著相关。季节影响温室气体排放，夏季排放量较高。总体而言，受潮汐限制的湿地排放2175 mg co2 -eq . m2 .d -1，比潮汐连接的湿地排放18 mg co2 -eq . m2 .d -1高出两个数量级。这项研究支持昆士兰州的潮汐恢复作为一种具有成本效益的策略来缓解气候变化，因为它有可能提高蓝碳埋藏率并避免甲烷的长期排放。

The science of climate change is almost universally accepted by the science community, yet producers and other key stakeholders in the rangelands are divided in their beliefs and understandings of climate change and the part that climate change plays in extreme events that impact their businesses. To counteract that, this article suggests that emphasis on sound, educationally framed climate information will arm producers and stakeholders with leading-edge knowledge and techniques to meet the challenges of rapidly reducing their emissions and building resilience. They will require skills, knowledge, leadership and resources to adapt to a new reality. It is suggested that collaborative and innovative strategies are needed. Extension programs that are active, results-oriented and collaborative, such as those between multiple stakeholders, government and research institutes, are necessary. Inaction should not be justified through past mistakes, which must not be repeated. Authentic evaluation examining end-results and practice change are essential. This article identifies a series of strategies for future engagement with producers, and discusses resistance to change. Various methods for collecting support from producers and stakeholders are considered. It is concluded that incentives and the ways in which knowledge is transferred must be sufficiently robust so that political, industrial and/or ideological sabotage is resisted. This would represent an irreversible, changed approach to rangelands management, use and sustainment.
