Fire simulators have become an important tool for tactical and strategic fire management, as well as fire behaviour and risk research. This NHRA-funded project combines social science and natural sciences to understand how fire behaviour simulators are used in...
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...
Every 5 years the Victorian Government delivers a Climate Hazards Synthesis report, with the next one due in 2024. This DEECA-funded project is contributing the bushfire chapter to the Climate Hazards Synthesis report. It aims to summarise the state of knowledge of...
Fire regimes are changing around the globe. Fire seasons are lengthening, high severity fires are occurring more often and in unexpected places. These shifts in components of the fire regime will have impacts on vegetation composition and patterns globally. In this...
Changing climates are creating significant fire risks to Australian plantations. Fires are predicted to become more frequent and intense, potentially resulting in increased plantation losses to wildfire. Existing fire simulation models do not adequately represent fire...
