Welcome to our new Indigenous Fellow, Adrian (Ado) Webster!

Ado is a Yuin and Thunghutti Man. He joins our Centre for a project to enhance bushfire research through Aboriginal knowledge and satellite validation.

Thanks for sharing your expertise, Ado!

Our Centre recently came together with @ACTRFS, @ACT_ESA, & @NSWRFS for a strategic workshop.
We worked together on case studies, designing systems to understand how new technologies can fit together for effective and fast detection and suppression of fires.
