Hi everyone. I’m Hamish Clarke at the University of Melbourne, interested in all things fire, fire management and climate change. My group is FLARE Wildfire, and I write at Future Fire
Hi everyone! I’m Jesse Sprague, founder of Echospectra, a mapping platform built for wildfire investigation. We focus on structured, offline-first field capture for fire investigators, along with fire risk and impact analysis tools.
My background is at the intersection of technology and fire — I’m passionate about building tools that help diagnose and prevent wildfires, and I’m especially interested in how better data collection in the field can improve our understanding of fire behavior and inform smarter policy.
Excited to be part of this community and looking forward to learning from everyone here. Happy to chat about fire investigation technology, spatial data, or anything else fire-related. Feel free to reach out!
I believe @szimmermaker and @asyphard were there. And Fantima Tedim, who is a GWC charter member- but I don’t believe she has joined the discussion forum yet.
Hi Hamish. I am currently working with a colleague of yours at FLARE, Alex, on some research related to wildfire investigations. Hopefully this is a start to diving into additional research behind fire pattern indicators and ignition causes.
Hi Jesse, Thank you so much for joining us here and nice to meet you. We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas, or questions, and look forward to it!
