Looking at how mesoscale atmosperic phenomena (i.e. sea-breeze, southerly wind change,inland cold front) interact with bushfires and the resulting dynamics and kinematics tounderstand what implications this has on the fire behaviour. Research methods include fieldwork using X-POL, complimented by coupled modelling.
