Watch the final showcase of the Bushfire Risk Management Research Hub as their initial works draw to a close. The Research Hub was established in 2018 as a joint initiative between four major universities, the Department of Planning and Environment, and NSW fire management agencies, to support bush fire research in NSW. The Hub’s research has focused on six main areas:
- Dynamic mapping of fire regimes, past, present and future
- Fuel, flammability and carbon dynamics
- Greenhouse gasses, particulate emissions and air quality
- Fire regime guidelines for conservation of threatened species
- Indigenous cultural burning: Exploring the links between cultural revitalisation and wellbeing
- Optimising cost-effective bushfire risk mitigation via planned burning
They also supplied over 19 research papers to the 2019/20 NSW Bushfire Inquiry, which can be accessed here: https://www.bushfirehub.org/resources/?category_filter=nsw_bushfire_inquiry_2020
