1626381408053895168 | Clear-fell forestry and subsequent erosion has been identified as a key cause for damaging landslides after Cyclone Gabrielle and other weather events in Aotearoa NZ this year. So why do we harvest pine forests on such fragile land? @UCNZ https://t.co/NupIbWYdmu | 12 |

1625042866837020673 | @timeshighered this is not an entirely correct interpretation of what's happening, a very thoughtful Phd thesis by Wendy Alabaster @ucnz is examining the wider issues- her findings show the free fees were essential but not sufficient to enable low income & first in family to consider university | 3 |
