Climate change doesn’t just make weather more extreme and unpredictable, it wreaks havoc on pollen season too. Here we explore the ways changing weather can impact pollen production and spread, and why new forms of pollen forecasting may hold the…
As climate change makes global fire seasons more unpredictable, Australia, no stranger to bushfires, has arguably seen some of the worst devastation in recent years. We look at how air pollution in Australia impacts the region and how environmental monitoring…
The increasing rate and intensity of global wildfires so far in 2022 make the correlation between climate change and fires all the more apparent. But correlation doesn’t always equal causation. So are wildfires getting worse due to climate change? Let’s…
