- Description
This thesis investigated ?re weather in Victoria, Australia and the Ecuadorian Andes. The selection of these areas considered several criteria. First of all, bush?res cause signi?cant impacts in these two regions. Victoria has endured some of the most catastrophic bush?re events in Australian history (e.g. ?Black Friday? (1939), ?Ash Wednesday? (1983), ?Black Saturday? (2009)). On the other hand, bush?res in Ecuador destroy every year large areas of national parks in one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Secondly, the El Ni?oSouthern Oscillation (ENSO) is a strong climate driver in the two study areas. Finally, Victoria and Ecuador share the Eucalyptus as the dominant bush?reprone species.
