Bushfire analytics: optimisation of fuel reduction.

森林大火是澳大利亚生态系统不可分割的一部分。然而，它们的严重程度在过去十年中迅速恶化。该项目旨在开发一种原则性和可扩展的方法来优化燃料处理计划，以减少严重森林火灾的可能性。该项目希望通过数学建模技术和最先进的优化方法的开创性结合，在森林火灾燃料管理方面产生新的知识。预期的结果应该为我们国家应对和适应环境变化对生物系统和城乡社区的影响的能力提供显著的好处。

Bushfires are an integral part of the Australian ecosystem. However, their severity has been worsening rapidly over the past decade. This project aims to develop a principled and scalable methodology for optimising fuel treatment planning to reduce the potential for severe bushfires. This project expects to generate new knowledge in bushfire fuel management using a groundbreaking combination of mathematical modelling techniques and state-of-the-art optimisation methods. The expected outcomes should provide significant benefits to our nation's ability to respond and adapt to the impacts of environmental change on biological systems and urban and rural communities.
