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...
Accurate quantification of heat fluxes is paramount to our understanding of fire, its effects, and fire management strategies. Currently, many studies rely on proxies (e.g., fire severity or fireline intensity) that are estimated after the fire has occurred, making...
This project seeks to understand the firebrand ignition of building materials. It will relate the ignition propensity to fundamental material properties and characterize thermal and gaseous environments for various firebrand densities, wind speeds, external radiative...
Managers of pine plantations note that at various different age classes and after thinning, plantations are often heavily impacted by woody weed encroachment, primarily blackberry. They hypothesise that blackberry is a contributor of rate of spread and subsequent...
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...
