Lots of ideas on how to better understand Australian #drought coming out of this year’s @ClimateExtremes workshop- excited to get back to work and keep researching!
Me being interviewed by year 6 students from #HarkawaySchool (VIC) keen to understand #bushfire risk and the info in AFMS () for his project-based learning unit on #bushfiresafety. One of them said: “My head has never been so full of useful information!” https://t.co/cqXXMCmBfa
We present a novel and physical method to retrieve #burnseverity more accurately than traditional empirical methods using #Sentinel2 and #Landsat. Get 50 days' free access to the article via this link:
Sheng Xuan presented his Final Honour Seminar today at #ANUFennerSchool. He explored the relationships between satellite-based grass curing and fuel moisture content across AUS. He found linear relationships that are species-specific and vary between years.
Excellent article explaining that the Sydney Basin is #drier than average. But SB is not alone. Orange areas in the map below are other areas in AUS drier than average in comparison to observation for Nov 2001-2018. Those dry areas capture well the current #FireEmergency https://t.co/xxwaAej8Rx
8:30pm, I now go to my hotel but this room will stay full of great people working hard to control the #firecrisis. @NSWRFS, I hope @anu_wald's tinny contibution providing info about fuel condition for fire behaviour analysis was helpful. We will be happy to assist again!
Finished off a big day at @NSWRFS. The next hours, days and months are gonna be long and hard, glad to help out how I can.
Great to see @Myebra12 in the SOC too, putting her super valuable research into practice.
Proud to assist the heroes of @NSWRFS - go @Myebra12 !

Matthew Gale presented a terrific Thesis Proposal Seminar today at @ANUFennerSchool on the application of airborne LiDAR for fire fuel assessment. There was not doubts in the room that this PhD project is well-grounded and with high chances to succeed!
We presented our Outstanding Achievement in Research Utilisation award to researcher @Myebra12 @scienceANU & lead end-user @AdamLeavesley @ACT_Parks yesterday in Sydney. Marta & Adam were recognised with the award at #AFAC19 for their outstanding collaboration. Congratulations!
