We are still celebrating the #EurekaPrizes won by the Bushfire Hub, but consider this: of the 22 University scientists working on that project, 82% have insecure positions, and most are looking for work (average 15 months contract left). The gig economy reaches everywhere.



I have a new paper out in #AustralEcology with Owen Price and Meaghan Jenkins We investigated how fire severity affected resprouting forest structure 5 years post-fire. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…


Our new paper synthesises the analyses the Bushfire Hub did on the #BlackSummer fires for the NSW Inquiry, and many recent papers on the fires. We also ask: what have we learned from the fires, and will we be better prepared next time? mdpi.com/2571-6255/4/4/… A thread: (1/11)

We're proud to launch the Australian Fire Danger Rating System today alongside NSW RFS Bureau of Meteorology, Australia EMA & our state & territory fire agencies. From tomorrow the system will deliver nationally consistent fire danger ratings backed by enhanced data & information. firedangerratings.com.au
