This paper describes the development of two empirical models to predict the potential
spread of an established line of fire in dry eucalypt forest with a shrubby understorey. These …

Managing fire to achieve hazard reduction while providing for biodiversity conservation is
complex in fire‐prone regions. This challenge is exacerbated by limited understanding of …

Project Vesta was a comprehensive research project to investigate the behaviour and
spread of high-intensity bushfires in dry eucalypt forests with different fuel ages and …

Techniques for rapid visual assessment of fuel characteristics have a broad range of
applications in wildland fire management and research. We developed and tested a …

Using pre-and post-fire satellite imagery from SPOT2, we examined the fire severity and
intensity of the Christmas 2001 wildfires in the greater Sydney Basin, Australia. We …
