ORGANIZING CHAOS:SIMULATION EXPERT MERGES TECHNOLOGY WITH LOCAL KNOWLEDGE OF WILDFIRE

摘要

Fire is known as the element of chaos - uncontrollable and totally unpredictable - but with the help of fire-simulation technology, researchers can deepen everyone's understanding of how fires spread and make educated projections about a blaze's likely path. The information produced by fire-simulation technology is invaluable for those fighting and managing fires, so they can better plan and coordinate their efforts.Rohan Fisher is one of northern Australia's foremost experts in fire simulation and is an advocate for the technology's use as a powerful educational tool.
