Researchers needed to address ecosystem resilience

Expressions of interest are now open for a new Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC project for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Victoria (DELWP).

The project will inform the expansion of DELWP’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Framework to better address ecosystem resilience in Victoria.

The successful research team will help address ecosystem resilience by developing evidence-based approaches that inform targets for ecosystem resilience, including Tolerable Fire Intervals, Geometric Mean Abundance and modelled individual species abundance. The chosen research organisation will also provide guidance and tools to deliver regionally based targets and recommendations for short- and longer-term improvements to the Framework. The research is due to be completed by 30 November 2021.

Submitting a proposal

EOI proposals are due by 10 June 2021 to office@bnhcrc.com.au. Download the full Expression of Interest and other supporting documents here for further details on each of the projects.
