I took a bunch of delegates from the #ESASCBO2022 conference to see high severity wildfires and cultural burn last week. Wow, we all learned a lot from the conversation. Thanks to Uncle Victor Channell and Fire Manager Damien Dubrowin for their input.

I just returned from the #ICFBR conference on Fire Behavior and Risk in Sardinia. What a wonderful experience to join with international colleagues, particularly after years of zoom-only meetings due to COVID.

The @BushfireHub was selected as a prime example of Government/University collaboration in the NSW Chief Scientist's (@NSWCSE) research showcase. Here is me and Greg Summerell from the Department of Planning and Environment's science team giving our talk.

I am trying to "grow" a tree-planting program for the University of Wollongong @UOW in the Illawarra. We need partners with trees to plant. We can be the army to plant your trees. Please get in touch.

What has construction codes got to do with house loss in bushfires? @hasta_lerista and I found out in the 2013 Linksview in NSW. Answer? A lot!

I spent Sunday with folk from @uow planting trees near Robertson for the #ThinGreenLine. We need more of this stuff! Thanks @alisonhaynes1 and @npwansw.

Hello @RachaelCollett. I am trying to contact you but cannot find a current email address for you. Can you email me at UoW

@bridgeridoo7 and I finally got our study of how house age and construction standards affected the likelihood of loss accepted in the Fire Safety Journal. The results are sobering!

Could you help The @bushfirehub with a science communications project to explain the research we did for the #bushfireinquiry in NSW? We are recruiting for a 3 month job in conjunction with @nswenviromedia

Our fire fuel consumption study was accepted for publication yesterday, wrapping up a major component of our @BushfireHub field campaign. Thanks to @Rachael_H_Nolan, @StephASamson and all the helpers. More to come when published.

I bet you did not know that the biggest tree on the University of Wollongong campus stores CO2 equivalent to 1 day of the campus emissions.#UOWGCCW. Nick Agostino and I know because he worked it out for his Honours thesis.

Global Climate Change Week starts today, which we in the fire science community know is important. The University of Wollongong is running many events (#UOWGCCW), including a Climate Change and Health panel including me. Check out the list:

We are still celebrating the #EurekaPrizes won by the @BushfireHub, 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.

We did it #EurekaPrizes winner for "Applied Environmental Science"! Thanks everyone who contributed to our work for the NSW Bushfire Inquiry: Unis of Tasmania, Western Sydney, NSW, Melbourne & Wollongong, & Department of Planning Industry and Environment.

The Eureka Prizes (@eurekaprizes) will be decided tonight. Excited/nervous to see how we go. If you are interested, register:
