Multi‐Species Constraints Resolve Methane Source Versus Sink Changes: Lessons From 2020
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Satellite observations show that atmospheric methane (CH4) increased by a record‐breaking 19 ppb in 2020, but the causes are unclear because of uncertain impacts from COVID‐related pollutant shifts on hydroxyl (OH) radical concentrations. Here we employ an ensemble of constraints to simultaneously quantify methane sources and sinks for 2020 in

Science is critical but it's not everything : our findings
, 2017 While scientific institutions and forms of scientific knowledge are critical for understanding and mitigating natural hazard risk, there is significant debate about their real utility to policy and practice.

Modelling Bushfire Evacuation Behaviours
CoRR, 2019 Bushfires pose a significant threat to Australia's regional areas. To minimise risk and increase resilience, communities need robust evacuation strategies that account for people's likely behaviour both before and during a bushfire. Agent-based modelling (ABM) offers a practical way to simulate a range of bushfire evacuation scenarios. However, the ABM

Bayesian Decision Thresholds for Bushfire Warnings: Calibration and Robustness for Rare‐Event Risk
Australian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, Volume 68, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Current bushfire warning systems communicate the probability of a warning given danger, but residents require the probability of danger given a warning. This misalignment, combined with the extreme rarity of catastrophic fires, often leads to the dangerous ‘wait and see’ behaviour.

Seeing the Hazard: Effects of Visual Communication in Flood Warning Messages
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Early warning messages (EWMs) are a crisis communication tool to prepare citizens to take action, save lives, and prevent damage in case of an approaching flood. They should be simple, but at the same time sufficient, inform recipients about the magnitude, timing, and possible impacts, and offer recommendations on actions to take.

The semantics of bushfire in Australian English
, 2020 Australian English can act as a mirror of conceptualisations of and attitudes towards extreme weather and climate events in the country, such as bushfires, drought, cyclones and floods.1 This variety of English encodes specific local meanings; for ...

‘We Can Win this Fight Together’: Memory and Cross‐Occupational Coordination
Journal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 1907-1940, June 2026.Abstract While scholars have studied coordination across occupational lines, they have yet to theorize how the memories held by those involved in such coordination might influence it. In this paper, we frame occupational groups as mnemonic communities – collectives for whom a shared understanding of the past constitutes their character – to explore the
