Natural hazards in Australia: extreme bushfire
Bushfires are one of the most frequent natural hazards experienced in Australia. Fires play
an important role in shaping the landscape and its ecological dynamics, but may also have …

Onset and evolution of southern annular mode-like changes at centennial timescale
Abstract The Southern Westerly Winds (SWW) are the surface expression of geostrophic
winds that encircle the southern mid-latitudes. In conjunction with the Southern Ocean, they …

Fire activity and deforestation in Remote Oceanian Islands caused by anthropogenic and climate interactions
Remote islands in the Pacific Ocean (Oceania) experienced dramatic environmental
transformations after initial human settlement in the past 3,000 yr. Here, human causality of …

The Southern Annular Mode determines interannual and centennial‐scale fire activity in temperate southwest Tasmania, Australia
M Mariani, MS Fletcher - Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the primary mode of atmospheric variability in the
Southern Hemisphere. While it is well established that the current anthropogenic‐driven …

Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests
Climate change is affecting the distribution of species and the functioning of ecosystems. For
species that are slow growing and poorly dispersed, climate change can force a lag …
