April 2024’s Hazardous Webinar celebrated the new research faces and topics in Australia’s fire landscape in Natural Hazards Research Australia’s Students in fire research showcase.
This webinar heard about three PhD research projects covering bushfire smoke and eye health, remote sensing and machine learning to predict forest fire spread, and collaborative and adaptive fire risk-reduction.
11am AEST, Tuesday 30 April
Speakers:
- Suki Jaiswal, University of New South Wales and Natural Hazards Research Australia Postgraduate Scholar
- Harikesh, University of the Sunshine Coast and Natural Hazards Research Australia Associate Student
- Douglas Radford, University of Adelaide and Natural Hazards Research Australia Associate Student
- Dr Rowena Morris, Node Research Manager, Natural Hazards Research Australia (host)
Suki, Harikesh and Douglas shared their innovative PhD projects that are adding to the breadth of information developing and supporting the response, recovery and resilience to natural hazards.
The PhD projects covered in this Hazardous Webinar:
- The impact of bushfire smoke on the ocular surface
- An empirical and dynamic tool for the prediction of forest fire spread using remote sensing and machine learning techniques
- An integrated modelling approach for the planning of collaborative and adaptive wildfire risk-reduction activities
