@OwenBushfire was at the #FireClimate2022 conference in Melbourne. So many fine presentations, so many inspiring conversations. The only negative was catching COVID!

New Hub research on carbon costs of the 2019/20 bushfires.
There have been lots of estimates of C emissions following the Australian #BlackSummer fires. How do they stack up against field observations? Our new paper looks at this, and post-fire tree mortality. 🧵 (1/ 8)
