In-flight direct-strike lightning research [PDF]
Tests designed to investigate the lightning-generated electromagnetic environment affecting aircraft are discussed. An F-106B aircraft specially instrumented for lightning electromagnetic measurements was used.

Geographical Research, EarlyView.Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

Electrification in winter storms and the analysis of thunderstorm overflight [PDF]
The emergence of 24 hr operational lightning detection networks has led to the finding that positive lightning strokes, although still much fewer in number than the normal negative strokes, are present in summer and winter storms.

Bushfire management, prescribed burning, and a right to fire?
Geographical Research, EarlyView.Bushfire control is a public policy priority in an era of climate change. Prescribed burning is one management solution. Prescribed burning policies prioritise human lives and avoidance of property losses. However, some species require fire to survive. We find the ‘right to fire’ is not prioritised in prescribed burning policy.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Method and apparatus for determining return stroke polarity of distant lightning [PDF]
A method is described for determining the return stroke polarity of distant lightning for distances beyond 600 km by detecting the electric field associated with a return stroke of distant lightning, and processing the electric field signal to determine ...
