Choosing optimism to build resilience

Bushfires are becoming more frequent, intense, far-reaching and complex. How can we reimagine bushfire resilience with a more proactive, systems-based approach? In this episode of Engineering Reimagined recorded live at the CAETS conference, Aurecon’s Santiago Estrada sits down with Dr Marta Yebra, a Professor at the Australian National University and Director of the Bushfire Research Centre of Excellence. Dr Yebra shares how engineering-led innovation is transforming the way we predict, prepare for and respond to fire and other natural hazards.

Technology for people, planet and progress: 2025 season insights

How can we match the right technologies to the right problems, while balancing speed with quality, and prioritising human factors that shape meaningful progress? Aurecon's Chief Operating Officer, Scott Powell, speaks with Professor Marcus Holgersson from Chalmers University of Technology. Together they explore the interplay between risk, innovation, efficiency and adoption, and how organisations can repeatedly unlock new value safely, be that through AI or other technologies.
