NASA, Australian scientists to track lightning-sparked bushfires from space

Australian universities join NASA to combat fires sparked by lightning A global team of researchers has turned its focus to an earlier detection of lightning strikes which cause devastating bushfires in Australia every year.

River Red Gum. The ecology of river red gums also plays a crucial role in their response to bushfire. River red gums have evolved to cope with fire through a variety of adaptations. Their thick bark can help protect them from intense heat, and their ability to resprout from epicormic buds allows them to regenerate after Fire.
However, intense or frequent fires can have negative impacts on river red gum populations, especially if they occur before the trees have had a chance to reach reproductive maturity. Climate change is also increasing the frequency and severity of bushfires, posing a significant threat to river red gums and the ecosystems they support.

Megafires are increasing with climate change, experts say — but could the emissions they pump out change the climate?

Megafires are increasing with climate change, could they also be contributing to it? Megafires were once rare, but they are becoming increasingly common, and 2023 is clear evidence of that. Experts say the events are being made worse by climate change. But how much are wildfires contributing to climate change themselves?
