The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC)
EMSINA's 5 Capability Questions
Q1: What is the Project Scope / What is trying to be solved?
The ‘Bushfire data challenges’ program of ARDC aims to establish a national bushfire data
infrastructure to improve bushfire and risk management by supporting research and
development with direct pathways to advancing operational planning and response.
Q2: What will be available to the EM community / decision makers at the end of your project?
The bushfire data infrastructure will have three aspects
- A framework for aggregating data, establishing a systematic approach towards
issues such as governance, supply chains, policies, culture, and underpinning
infrastructure
- Aggregating data content
- A platform to provide access, visualisations and modelling tools.
Q3: How will the EM Sector access the results?
An online platform will be created to provide access to data and modelling tools.
Q4: What are the main hurdles faced in completing your Project?
Aggregating data from all jurisdictions, and establishing a framework to address challenges
such as governance, supply chains and underpinning infrastructure
Q5: What input data / work do you need from jurisdictions?
- ARDC intends to run 2 phases of the bushfire data challenges:
1. modelling bushfire behaviour, with data content on fire history, weather and fuel
2. modelling impact, with data content on urban infrastructure, health, air quality and
climate, waste and species
