Remote sensing of fuel to improve fire behaviour predictions

Project type

Postgraduate research

Project status

In progress

Remote sensing of bushfire fuel has been identified as a way of objectively measuring fuel to assess risk and make predictions of fire spread. This project proposes to measure bushfire fuel using remote sensing and the effects of fuel on fire behaviour. The research will focus on a specific fuel type which has been identified by end-users in South Australia as difficult to predict with current fire behaviour models.
