For almost 70 years we have worked collaboratively in bushfire research, from understanding and modelling the impact of bushfires on the environment to post-fire assessments and improving infrastructure design.

We've performed post-bushfire surveillance and research in every major fire event in Australia since the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires.

On this page you can access our latest bushfire news, feature articles, and multimedia.
