Скачать или смотреть Hazardous Webinar April 2024: Students in fire research showcase

The new research faces and topics in Australia’s fire landscape were celebrated in Natural Hazards Research Australia’s (the Centre) April Hazardous Webinar, Students in fire research showcase.

Three members of the Centre’s education program shared their 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.

Held on 30 April, attendees heard from 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 and Douglas Radford, University of Adelaide and Natural Hazards Research Australia Associate Student.

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, including:
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
