What is the future for small urban settlements within fire-vulnerable forests and bushland? Could they create a new model for rural settlements with wider lessons for development in big cities? This paper draws together observations of the 2019/20 bushfire size, intensity and destructiveness and ...
Furthermore, both fire seasons occurred after at least three years of below-average annual precipitation (Figure 2B), which undoubtedly led to dry and fire-prone environments. Although local and national authorities do not have direct control of temperature and precipitation, they can mitigate damage...
Generally, bushfires are more prone to high temperature and strong gusty winds, which is evidenced in our data analysis. Our result shows that the vertical component of the wind up to 700 hPa has a higher influence on the bushfire severity. Although several studies are exploring the ...
