Disruption of cultural burning promotes shrub encroachment and unprecedented wildfires (2022)
Journal Article
Mariani, M., Connor, S. E., Theuerkauf, M., Herbert, A., Kuneš, P., Bowman, D., …Briles, C. (2022). Disruption of cultural burning promotes shrub encroachment and unprecedented wildfires. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 20(5), 292-300. https://doi.org/10.1002/fee.2395

Recent catastrophic fires in Australia and North America have raised broad-scale questions about how the cessation of Indigenous burning practices has impacted fuel accumulation and structure. For sustainable coexistence with fire, a better understan... Read More about Disruption of cultural burning promotes shrub encroachment and unprecedented wildfires.

Spatio-Temporal Domains of Wildfire-Prone Teleconnection Patterns in the Western Mediterranean Basin (2021)
Journal Article
Rodrigues, M., Mariani, M., Russo, A., Salis, M., Galizia, L., & Cardil, A. (2021). Spatio-Temporal Domains of Wildfire-Prone Teleconnection Patterns in the Western Mediterranean Basin. Geophysical Research Letters, 48(19), Article e2021GL094238. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GL094238

This work explores the main climate teleconnections influencing the Western Mediterranean Basin to outline homogeneous fire-prone weather domains combining cross-correlation time series and cluster analysis. We found a zonal effect of the Scandinavia... Read More about Spatio-Temporal Domains of Wildfire-Prone Teleconnection Patterns in the Western Mediterranean Basin.

Northward shift of the southern westerlies during the Antarctic Cold Reversal (2021)
Journal Article
Fletcher, M.-S., Pedro, J., Hall, T., Mariani, M., Joseph, A., Beck, K., …Lise-Pronovost, A. (2021). Northward shift of the southern westerlies during the Antarctic Cold Reversal. Quaternary Science Reviews, 271, Article 107189. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2021.107189

Inter-hemispheric asynchrony of climate change through the last deglaciation has been theoretically linked to latitudinal shifts in the southern westerlies via their influence over CO2 out-gassing from the Southern Ocean. Proxy-based reconstructions... Read More about Northward shift of the southern westerlies during the Antarctic Cold Reversal.

Catastrophic bushfires, indigenous fire knowledge and reframing science in Southeast Australia (2021)
Journal Article
Fletcher, M. S., Romano, A., Connor, S., Mariani, M., & Yoshi Maezumi, S. (2021). Catastrophic bushfires, indigenous fire knowledge and reframing science in Southeast Australia. Fire, 4(3), Article 61. https://doi.org/10.3390/fire4030061

The catastrophic 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires were the worst fire season in the recorded history of Southeast Australia. These bushfires were one of several recent global conflagrations across landscapes that are homelands of Indigenous peoples,...
