The first stage of the project Determining threshold conditions for extreme fire behaviour was
focused on investigating the processes under which bushfires undergoes major transitions …

Today, scenarios based on computer simulations are a fundamental tool for informing
decision making at different levels of an organisation. When decisions concern the potential …

Canopy cover is a primary attribute used in empirical wildfire models for certain fuel types.
Accurate estimation of canopy cover is a key to ensuring accurate prediction of fire spread …

Abstract Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires pose a significant threat to public safety and
property in areas where urban development encroaches upon natural landscapes. This …

The behaviours of citizens during bushfires may determine whether they live or die. Using
100 citizen witness statements from the 2009 Australian bushfires, we show how people …

Due to climate change, forest regions in California are increasingly experiencing severe
wildfires, with other issues affecting the rest of the world. Machine learning (ML) and artificial …

Large plume-driven wildfires are among the most destructive and unpredictable of all natural
hazards. A prerequisite for the development of the deep convection characteristic of these …

Forest fires are common events that have been a part of the human race since 1.5 millions
years BP. Despite forest fires being a natural part of our environment, many consider them …

Wildfire simulation tools focus on how fire spreads in the natural environment. Simulation of
fire containment operations can provide managers with a tool that combine wildfire evolution …

Fire authorities have started widely using operational fire simulations for effective wildfire
management. The aggregation of the simulation outputs on a massive scale creates an …
