How do we translate complex and evolving scientific knowledge about wildfire into clear guidance for decision makers and the public? Health and medicine have a strong track record of synthesising and summarising complex information on specific issues for health...
This University of Melbourne-funded project builds on two related projects, Wildfire risk communication and New wildfire risk models, to develop a unified, dynamic platform for modelling and communicating wildfire risk. The key advance in this project is setting up...
Currently in Australia the biodiversity crisis and wildfire risks are in direct opposition to one another. Increased wildfire risks under climate change place pressures on sectors and organisations attempting to revegetate the landscape and increases the likelihood...
Many species are adapted to a particular fire regime and major deviations from that regime may lead to localised extinction. Here, we quantify immaturity risks to an obligate-seeder forest tree using an objectively designed climate model ensemble and a probabilistic...
Planned or prescribed burning is widespread in forests and grasslands across Australia. The primary aims of these programs are for: hazard or fuel reduction: prescribed burning is used to reduce the amount of fuel in order to reduce the intensity, rate of spread and...
