Health impacts and economic costs of residential fires (RESFIRES study): protocol for a population-based cohort study using linked administrative data by Lara A Harvey, Nargess Ghassempour, Mark Whybro, W Kathy Tannous

“…It is recognised that the reported number of residential fires, fire-related injuries and deaths significantly underestimate the true number. Australian surveys show that around two-thirds of respondents who experience a residential fire are unwilling to call the fire service, and international studies highlight that many individuals who access medical treatment for fire-related injuries do not have an associated fire incident report. …”

Accounting for Australia’s threatened species: Estimating historical and recent change in terrestrial habitat by Katherine M. Giljohann, Karel Mokany, Simon Ferrier, Thomas D. Harwood, Chris Ware, Kristen J. Williams

“…A systematic approach is therefore essential for regular and consistent measurement of threatened species habitat that can be applied across multiple scales.We present a new approach to track progress in providing habitat for threatened species over time and space, and apply it to the Australian continent. This involves: 1) estimating the historical (pre-intensification) habitat distribution for listed threatened species, and 2) deriving a metric of habitat provision for threatened species by combining the historical habitat distributions with remotely sensed annual ecosystem condition data. …”
