We are still analyzing results, but it's already clear the combination of bushfire ash followed by rainfall led to large increases in microalgae (phytoplankton) in estuaries,...
As climate change stokes larger and more intense wildfires, firestorms are likely to become more common. Here’s why they occur and what makes them so dangerous.
