🌿 Obsidian Bushfire Modelling Notes

Welcome to the Obsidian Bushfire Modelling Notes vault! This repository provides a structured and interactive resource for studying bushfire mathematics and fire behaviour modelling, designed for seamless use in Obsidian.

---

✨ Features

• Bushfire Mathematics & Modelling Detailed notes on classical and modern bushfire models, fire behaviour equations, and key scientific concepts.

• Interactive Tools JavaScript-based sliders embedded via DataviewJS let you adjust parameters and instantly explore model outcomes.

• Structured Vault Notes are organised into definitions, equations, models, and interactive calculators for easy study and navigation.

• Tags & Aliases Consistent tagging and aliasing allow fast searching and cross-linking across related notes.

• Expandable & Modular Designed for long-term growth—easily add new models, definitions, or interactive experiments.

Slider Previews

These screenshots showcase the interactive sliders in action, allowing users to manipulate variables such as wind speed, slope, and fuel moisture to see real-time effects on fire spread rates.

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Copy the folders (bushfire-notes, definitions, equations, javascript-interactive-sliders) into your Obsidian vault.
3. Open Obsidian and let it index the new notes.
4. Navigate using the Bushfire Maths MOC.md (Map of Content).
5. Explore interactive sliders on supported pages to experiment with fire behaviour parameters.

🔧 Requirements

• Obsidian
• Dataview Plugin (for dynamic tables, queries, and JavaScript embedding)

Note: Interactive sliders require DataviewJS enabled in your Obsidian setup.

---

🧭 Organisation & Navigation

• Map of Content (MOC) Central hub (Bushfire Maths MOC.md) to access notes, definitions, and tools.

• Tagging System Notes are consistently tagged for quick filtering (e.g., #mathematics/equations/mathematical-modelling/bushfire-models).

• Aliases Each concept includes aliases for fast search and cross-referencing.

📌 Example Use Cases

• Learn how Rothermel’s spread model or McArthur’s Forest Fire Danger Index work.
• Adjust sliders for wind speed, slope, or fuel moisture and see the effects on spread rate in real time.
• Build your own bushfire model library by adding equations, notes, or simulation tools.
• Use as a teaching resource for bushfire science, mathematical modelling, or environmental studies.
