Questions the PR industry should ask about Murujuga at CommsCon (and why I’ve resigned from the CommsCon Advisory Panel) Murujuga, or the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia’s northwest, is home to the most unique outdoor art gallery on the planet. It is one of those places that makes this continent so special, tellin...

I didn't usually share my own papers but just saw an atrocious ai generated article that completely misrepresents this one. And apparently there is nothing to be done. So here it is if you want to know what we actually found. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #murujuga #geosciences #australia

When the Ground Itself Rearranges the Past At Murujuga, stone tools rise to the surface not because people moved them, but because clay & water never sit still. A new study forces archaeologists to rethink how landscapes remember human action.

At Murujuga, stone tools rise to the surface not because people moved them, but because clay soils expand and shrink with water. New research shows how wetting and drying quietly reshape archaeological landscapes.#Archaeology #Geoarchaeology #Murujuga #HumanHistory

6. So the questions I want to see asked re the #EPBC, & the political response, are:
* Would the proposed amendments save globally valued scientific marvels like #Nilpena?
* Would they save our human heritage, like #Murujuga?
*Would they save Asterolasia, or #Wollemi pines?

Scientist blows whistle on government spin of rock art findings near Woodside plant A scientist who quit a major study on WA rock art is accusing the government of downplaying findings linking damage to heavy industry.

I suppose the value in this whole sordid #Murujuga episode is that the #underhandedness, the #misrepresentation, the #corruption, the lack of #integrity and #credibility in the #EIA and other #environmental_assessment processes, not only in WA, but across Australia are laid bare to the public.

Federal government agreed to weaken proposed protections for rock art from Woodside’s North West Shelf project Document outlines negotiations over contentious extension of gas giant’s development after conditional approval in May

Raelene Cooper: “With this statement of reasons, the minister is effectively blowing the whistle on his own government.” #northwestshelf #murujuga

WA government put ‘very rosy spin’ on report into Woodside emissions at Murujuga, scientist’s private email says Report part of a project used in lobbying effort to dismiss UN concerns that industrial emissions were damaging 50,000-year-old ancient rock art

"..they put a very rosy spin on the results and I think hoped everyone would only read the summary and not the full report"

Seems appropriate to mourn reef-killing behaviour rather than burnish the credentials of WoodCIDE, the climate-destroying fossil fuel corp embroiled in a string of safety & decommissioning incidents

Shame @wamuseum.bsky.social

“There is no gas at #Murujuga; Woodside Energy intends to pipe it in from offshore fields hundreds of kilometres away to process it adjacent to the rock art. It’s not too late to say no. “
