Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Abstract Human actions can not only contribute to species extinction but also offer a path towards preventing it. Therefore, it is essential for conservation communicators to identify optimal communication methods to encourage positive pro‐conservation behaviours.

Persons with albinism in this study have inadequate knowledge regarding climate change, self‐reported eye and skin conditions, and utilize insufficient protection strategies. Although they adopt various strategies to cope with climate change effects, these are insufficient for their full protection.

Multi‐Species Constraints Resolve Methane Source Versus Sink Changes: Lessons From 2020
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

Modelling Bushfire Evacuation Behaviours
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
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.

Bushfires : preparation, resilience and recovery\ud
The emphasis in this chapter is on bushfires as a representative of hazards/disasters affecting communities/regions due to the total loss category of major bushfire events in the past decade (Blue Mountains 2001 ; Canberra 2003 ; lesser known regions in ...
