Project: Future Fires

Climatology of overnight fire weather conditions in south-eastern Australia

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 current conditions and trends, identifying hot spots of high overnight fire danger. The project will also create a baseline of current conditions against which to measure future changes under continued global warming.

Project timeline: 01/2024 – 06/2025

Fire Risk Modelling
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 ...

Fire management approaches to mitigate the impacts of bushfires on ecological values

Ecosystem Interaction, Future Fires
This project explores the ability of fuel management activities to mitigate bushfire impacts on ecological values. It does this through the integration of the landscape simulation modelling software ‘Fire Regimes and Operations Simulations ...

Integrated strategic bushfire management in a changing climate

Fire Risk Modelling, Future Fires
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 ...
