Emission Reporting for Agriculture: Frameworks and Metrics Matter

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frameworks and metrics that reliably describe agricultural emission sources and carbon sinks are critical to the formulation of cost‐effective mitigation investment. This study identifies and compares three distinct emission reporting frameworks across metrics of total emissions and emissions intensity.

Using an inventory cluster approach for assessing bushfire preparedness and information needs in vulnerable communities

open access: yes, 2023
Disasters cost the world $US268bn in 2020 in economic, property and human losses. In Queensland, the most disaster-prone of Australian states, flood, cyclone and bushfire will cost $466bn over the next 40 years. Individual preparation for natural hazards

Crisis micro‐learning: A framework for understanding the micro‐flow of policy learning and Australia's COVID‐19 response

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract COVID‐19 has intensified interest in crisis policy learning, yet the micro‐level interactions among political, bureaucratic, and expert actors remain underexplored. We conceptualise an ideal‐type framework for the micro‐flow of crisis learning, an ordinarily epistemic and context‐specific process of individual‐level interactions, where lessons

Not all Temperature Shocks are Alike: Disentangling Heat and High Temperature Shocks and Their Effects on Inflation in Australia

open access: yesEconomic Record, EarlyView.
We study the effects of heat and high temperature shocks on inflation in Australia using monthly, state‐level temperature anomaly data via two stages. In the first stage, we decompose temperature anomalies into orthogonal components using a structural vector autoregression with long‐run restrictions.

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Viewpoint: Optimising Cancer Treatment to Reduce Its Environmental Impact

open access: yesJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is widely accepted that treatment and care for patients with cancer must and should happen, as it is what everyone would want for themselves and their loved ones. Everyone wants the best possible care, but climate change and the extreme weather that it causes are increasingly affecting everyone including patients in negative ways.

What’s to lose? A sensuous geography of renters’ bushfire experiences in Australia

open access: yesFrontiers in Communication
This community case study explores the experiences of renters in Hobart, Australia’s most bushfire-prone capital, to understand how they live with and prepare for bushfire risk. Renters, a growing but often overlooked population, face distinct challenges,

Harnessing edge computing and citizen science: A new prototype design for continental‐scale acoustic monitoring in Australia and beyond

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Inadequate monitoring of biodiversity is a characteristic of conservation the world over. The potential of acoustic monitoring is compelling, although the challenges remain substantial. Effective solutions require transdisciplinary collaboration among stakeholders, a focus on open‐source development, and flexible, multipronged technical ...

Quantifying bushfires

open access: yesMathematical and Computer Modelling, 1990
Bushfires are quantified by their flame characteristics or by calculations of the rate that energy is released from the fire front. These calculations require careful definition and measurement of available fuel. Researchers need to recognise that combustion proceeds at a variable rate across the combustion zone.
