Caught on camera

Have you noticed we have been using video content to complement the other types of information available on our project pages? The idea is that the online visitor can view a poster, read a research report, access a journal article and then watch a brief video of the researcher describing the purpose of the research.

We started out a few years ago filming all the PhD students. Those interviews are still online. The Bushfire CRC video camera is now an essential communications tool for us at all conferences, workshops and events.

If what you are looking for is some plain language statements by researchers I suggest you check out the following:

• The Fire fuel and weather seminar at the 2009 annual conference including edited presentations and interviews with Bushfire CRC researchers. Go to the Events pages and see the 2009 conference.
• In their own words– short introductions to PhD projects by Bushfire CRC students. Go to the Education/Research Students pages.
• VicFires Taskforce - videos of the researchers explaining how they examined properties after the Black Saturday fires. Go to the Taskforce page under Our Research.

Some of these areas are still works in progress, with videos of the new research projects still being uploaded. So keep coming back to see what is new online.
