Our understanding of how the bushfire regime interacts with climate and vegetation is uncertain, especially in the face of future climate change. This project aims to use physics-aware machine learning and dynamic vegetation modelling to produce spatially-explicit mapping of potential changes in bushfire fuel types and fuel hazard for Victoria under different scenarios of future climate change. The outcome of this project will allow fire management agencies in Victoria to make more appropriate planning and investment to better prepare for the anticipated changes, and to take more targeted actions to mitigate the likely impacts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f27ca06\" data-id=\"f27ca06\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5bb58c elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f5bb58c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/influence-climate-change-small.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2174\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/influence-climate-change-small.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/influence-climate-change-small-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/influence-climate-change-small-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/influence-climate-change-small-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The influence of climate change on bushfire fuels in Victoria Funding period: 2021-2024 Funding agency: Country Fire Authority Project leader, researchers and collaborators: Prof&nbsp;Matthias Boer (Lead); Dr Mingkai Jiang (co-lead), Prof Ben Smith, Dr Rachael Nolan, Dist Prof Belinda Medlyn, Dr Assaf Inbar, Assoc Prof Owen Price (UoW), Em Prof Ross Bradstock Project summary: &nbsp;Bushfire&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/the-influence-of-climate-change-on-bushfire-fuels-in-victoria\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The influence of climate change on bushfire fuels in Victoria<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/template-pagebuilder-full-width.php","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"off","neve_meta_content_width":100,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2390","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2390"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4334,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2390\/revisions\/4334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
