Cyclone
Cyclones burst upon Australia's tropical coast bringing torrential rain and destruction, while ancient rain forests and coral reefs are destroyed. Aaron Pedersen explains how these ecosystems have evolved and adapted.
Drought
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth, and severe droughts grip the nation regularly. Aaron Pedersen explains how over millions of years of evolution, Australian life is uniquely prepared for these challenges.
Fire
Blazes fuelled by wind, dry bush and weather can consume everything in their path. Aaron Pedersen explains how nowhere on Earth burns with quite the same intensity and ferocity as Australia - or as regularly.
Flood
Australian droughts are often followed by flood, a rhythm of life that the country has adapted to. While the inland is still subjected to natural floods, elsewhere the flood regimes are changing.
