LiDAR based technology is proposed as a means to measure landscape-scale forest fuels in order to generate a time effective, cheap and objective method for forest fuel hazard assessment. The technique was tested at sites of different vegetation ages, since fire, in southeastern Australia to extract accurate information about forest fuel structures and assess forest fuel hazards. It also assessed how the other environmental factors impact on the hazards.

This project was completed in January 2017.
