This project was commissioned and funded entirely by the Safer Together Program.

This project utilised past satellite data to create a new dataset of grassland curing. This formed one part of a two-part project, where the data will be integrated to calculate a grass fire danger dataset. Findings from this study better enable communities and agencies to understand grassland fire danger and fill knowledge gaps, and also allow for an analysis of historic bushfire risk.
