A research project by our very own has been commended for its outstanding outcomes. The project is funded by the (BNH CRC),听a partnership between Australia and New Zealand's fire and emergency service authorities, land management agencies and non-government organisations. The aim of the BNH CRC is to identify the causes, consequences and mitigation strategies of natural disasters.

The end-users of such tools, which include the State Government, Country Fire Authority and various government departments, has noted the uniqueness and high value of this project.

The high quality of听the project outcomes has been recognised as one of the top 4, out of 37, projects that are coordinated by the BNH CRC. The project is an听outstanding example of quality, culture and teamwork between researchers and end-users.

Congratulations to Prof Maier and his team for such outstanding work.
