Changing fire regimes have been shown to delay vegetation recovery and shift distribution of ecosystems, increasing the importance of understanding the short-and long-term impacts of these changes. The unusually severe 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season has been linked to climate change and the ...
CANBERRA, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Australian Environment Minister Melissa Price said on Tuesday there is "no doubt" that climate change is a factor in the devastating bushfires in Victoria. Victorians in the state's east returned to their properties on Monday to assess the damage done to their ...
CANBERRA, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- A new Australian study will examine the impacts the Black Summer bushfires and the coronavirus pandemic have had on young families. The study, to be undertaken by researchers from Australian National University (ANU), will focus on the partners of women who were...

The ”Black Summer” 2019–2020 bushfires covered large areas of eastern Australia, causing substantial health impacts, animal deaths and damage to infrastructure. The smoke-related aerosols produced from these fires can also impact solar energy production by attenuating useable radiation. This study as...

Although several studies report water quality following the 2019 Australian bushfires, either limited analytes were examined (e.g., turbidity only; Kemter et al., 2021), or the temporal span of sampling was severely constrained (e.g. Joehnk et al., 2020). Here, we present catchment-scale ...
