ABWiSE v1.0: toward an agent-based approach to simulating wildfire spread [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Wildfires are a complex phenomenon emerging from interactions between air, heat, and vegetation, and while they are an important component of many ecosystems’ dynamics, they pose great danger to those ecosystems, as well as human life and property ...

The Portuguese Large Wildfire Spread database (PT-FireSprd) [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Wildfire behaviour depends on complex interactions between fuels, topography, and weather over a wide range of scales, being important for fire research and management applications.

Wildfire Rates of Spread in Grasslands under Critical Burning Conditions
Fire, 2022 An analysis of a dataset (n = 58) of high-intensity wildfire observations in cured grasslands from southern Australia revealed a simple relationship suitable for quickly obtaining a first approximation of a fire’s spread rate under low dead fuel moisture

A Field Study of Tropical Peat Fire Behaviour and Associated Carbon Emissions
Fire, 2022 Tropical peatlands store vast volumes of carbon belowground. Human land uses have led to their degradation, reducing their carbon storage services. Clearing and drainage make peatlands susceptible to surface and belowground fires.

Climatic Change, 2022 The impacts of wildfires are increasing in the Mediterranean Basin due to more extreme fire seasons featuring increasingly fast and high-intensity fires, which often overwhelm the response capacity of fire suppression forces.

Fire, 2021 An increase in the frequency of severe fire events, as well as a growing interest in wildfire mitigation strategies, has created a demand for skilled managers of landscape fire and a better community understanding of fire behaviour.

Wildfire–atmosphere interaction index for extreme-fire behaviour [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 During the last 20 years extreme wildfires have challenged firefighting capabilities. Often, the prediction of the extreme behaviour is essential for the safety of citizens and firefighters. Currently, there are several fire danger indices routinely used

The Forestry Chronicle, 2020 A 3-m between crown spacing is a commonly cited criterion found in the wildland-urban interface fire literature for minimizing the likelihood of a fully-developed crown fire from occurring in a conifer forest on level terrain.

Numerical Investigation of the Post-Fire Performance of Steel Columns
Buildings, 2022 Research on the seismic performance of steel structures has led to the development of improved structures, which minimize structural and non-structural damage and can be reused immediately after an earthquake.
