Climate change is projected to make bushfire conditions worse in Victoria and increase the frequency and severity of fire events. The advances made through risk-based approaches to bushfire management have been significant and have contributed to strategic bushfire...
As climate change intensifies bushfire risks, there is an urgent need for fire management tools that remain effective in a warming world. This project aims to optimise the delivery of current risk mitigation tools and identify pathways to develop new tools across fuel...
This project builds on a related project – Overnight fire weather conditions in NSW during Black Summer – to explore spatial and temporal patterns in overnight fire weather conditions in south-eastern Australia. It will help to build up a picture of...
It is not just daytime conditions that drive fire risk. Anecdotally, the Black Summer fires were characterised by intense fire behaviour during the evening, a time that fire-fighters usually rely on to get the upper hand. However, there has yet to be a careful...
We have entered an era which some call the Pyrocene. It is a time of escalating and increasingly complex interactions between humans and fire. If we are to live with fire, we must understand it and how it is changing in response to both global warming and our own...
