Unprecedented smoke-related health burden associated with the 2019-20 bushfires in eastern Australia
[from the text] Weather conditions conducive to extreme bushfires are becoming more frequent as a consequence of climate change.1 Such fires have substantial social, ecological, and economic effects, including the effects on public health associated with smoke, such as premature…

Some key messages from this webinar:
New operational 3D models such as QUIC-Fire, may change how land managers plan for and manage prescribed fire, but they require unique input data about fuels.
Representing fuels in 3D adds detail on fuel structure and distribution. This info…
