Assisting a group of roughly 15 students in Launceston who are taking KGA204 - Earth, Climate and Life, a course which is delivered in Hobart and streamed to Launceston. My role is to answer any of their questions, help them to complete their practicals and assignments, and to be their face-to-face contact in Launceston. I also assisted with a field trip to The Steppes State Reserve in the Central Highlands to investigate the effect of recent bushfires on vegetation species distribution and soil parameters.

Hired on a short-term contract, I worked as part of a small team collecting, processing, and storing a wide range of native grass and shrub seed that was to be spread over a 300 ha, 8 m deep ash pit - the remains of a decomissioned coal power plant at Port Augusta - to prevent the continued movement of ash into the township. It was a physically challenging role and required a significant amount of problem-solving to determine the best methods and locations for collection, how to effectively store the seed in the small area we had available, and how to spread seed of different weights and sizes over ground that heavy machinery would sink in to.
