Persistent Lidar-Based Post-Fire Changes In Vegetation Structure Over A Large Range Of Australian Forests, William Harris
Persistent Lidar-Based Post-Fire Changes In Vegetation Structure Over A Large Range Of Australian Forests, William Harris
Science, Medicine & Health - Honours Theses
Fuel load is one of the primary determinants for fire behaviour in Australian forests. In South-Eastern Australia, ground and elevated fuel loads are generally considered highest at 15-20 years post-fire. Current methodology for predicting fuel load often relies on low resolution vegetation maps, simple time-since-fire relationships, and often incorrectly used ground-fuel models for elevated and canopy fuels. The combination of these prevents many modern fuel load models from revealing the fine-scale processes that truly drive fuel load accumulation. This study seeks to correct these issues by using high-resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) alongside generalised additive models (GAM) and a …

The Deakin Sisters: Becoming ‘New Women’ In Twentieth-Century Australia, Louise Scott-Deane
University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 2017+
Using the rich and largely unexplored archival records of the Deakin sisters, this thesis presents the first in-depth collective biography of their lives. While they were the daughters of Australian Prime Minister, Alfred Deakin (1856-1919), the Deakin sisters, Ivy (1883-1970), Stella (1886-1976) and Vera (1891-1978), are not the subjects of this historical examination because of their connection to a powerful man. They are instead being studied because of the significant insights they provide into individual (elite) women’s experiences of the new opportunities which emerged for Australian women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Examining their lives reveals the …
