Viewpoint: Optimising Cancer Treatment to Reduce Its Environmental Impact

Journal 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.

Willingness to pay for blue-green space and koala habitat protection following a Covid-19 versus bushfire experimental prime

Environmental Research Communications
Community-supported investment in blue-green space and fauna habitat protection is important, yet the drivers of willingness to pay (WTP) are poorly understood.

Atmospheric Trace Metal Deposition from Natural and Anthropogenic Sources in Western Australia

Atmosphere, 2020
Aerosols from Western Australia supply micronutrient trace elements including Fe into the western shelf of Australia and further afield into the Southern and Indian Oceans. However, regional observations of atmospheric trace metal deposition are limited.

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

Methods 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 ...

The Proximal Drivers of Large Fires: A Pyrogeographic Study

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Variations in global patterns of burning and fire regimes are relatively well measured, however, the degree of influence of the complex suite of biophysical and human drivers of fire remains controversial and incompletely understood.

Quantifying bushfires

Mathematical 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.

A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the

Emergency response to the Canberra bushfires

Medical Journal of Australia, 2004
On 18 January 2003, Canberra experienced major bushfires. Over 6 hours, The Canberra Hospital Emergency Department treated 139 patients, 105 with fire-related problems (mostly ophthalmological and respiratory), representing an additional workload of one patient every 4 minutes above average. Only 15% required hospital admission.

Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire

Ibis, EarlyView.
Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale

Recovery from bushfires in Australia [PDF]

, 2022
This article will start from the 2019-2020 mega bushfires in Australia and discuss issues related to the Australian bushfires. Therefore, this article will focus on research and discussion around three arguments: the harm of forest fires, the causes of ...
