Coerced resilience in fire management. [PDF]

J Environ Manage, 2019
Mechanisms underlying the loss of ecological resilience and a shift to an alternate regime with lower ecosystem service provisioning continues to be a leading debate in ecology, particularly in cases where evidence points to human actions and decision-making as the primary drivers of resilience loss and regime change.

Assessing fire dynamics and suppression techniques in electric vehicles at different states of charge: Implications for maritime safety

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
The maritime transportation of electric vehicles (EVs) poses significant fire risks due to the potential for thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, particularly when the state of charge (SOC) varies.

International Savanna Fire Management Initiative

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Due to colonisation, traditional ways of fire management have been suppressed across landscapes and as a result vast areas of country are poorly managed and degraded. Conventional methods of firefighting have largely failed. Climate change will make the
