New journal articles and reports on CRC research are available online.
The research proceedings from the CRC's annual conference, AFAC17 powered by INTERSCHUTZ, are now available. Find them all on the event page, under the publications tab.
The following publications are available from the CRC's core research program:
Improved predictions of severe weather to reduce community impact
Mapping bushfire hazards and impacts
Decision support system for optimal natural hazard mitigation
Improving land dryness measures and forecasts
Improving decision-making in complex multi-team environments
An analysis of building losses and human fatalities from natural disasters
Mapping and understanding bushfire and natural hazard vulnerability and risks at the institutional scale
Cost-effective mitigation strategy for building related earthquake risk
Out of uniform: building community resilience through non-traditional volunteering
