FLARE Wildfire Research is working closely with fire agencies in south-eastern Australia to model risk and the mitigation available from different management strategies. Much of this work generates landscape-scale insights into treatment effectiveness. In this NSW...
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...
Scientists frequently build statistical models to explain aspects of bushfire risk, such as fire frequency, fire severity and seasonality. However, these models are often developed for specific case study areas and are generally not maintained or evaluated on an...
Sclerophyll forests in southeast Australia have typically evolved alongside fire, and generally recover from single fire events. Anthropogenic climate change is increasing fire prevalence which means these forests are increasingly exposed to multi-fire events with...
The compilation and analysis of large bushfire reconstruction datasets is an invaluable resource for both researchers and agencies. Exploration of past fires provides a unique opportunity to assess the accuracy and performance of bushfire simulators. Critical analysis...
