Dr Bryan Hally Research Leader

This project developed new ways to provide quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of prescribed burning using terrestrial and airborne LiDAR techniques. Using a series of case studies of varying forest types, Bryan compared his measurements to existing vegetation assessment techniques to provide objective analysis of burn effectiveness. He then developed a model for the simulation of active fire landscapes which will validate a range of satellite remote sensors.

This project was completed in August 2018.
