Modeling Spatial–Temporal Dynamics of Urban Residential Fire Risk Using a Markov Chain Technique
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2018 This article applies a Markov chain method to compute the probability of residential fire occurrence based on past fire history. Fitted with the fire incidence data gathered over a period of 10 years in Melbourne, Australia, the spatially-integrated fire

New Occurrence of Fire Opal from Bemia, Madagascar
Gems & Gemology, 2010 Twenty-two gem opals from a new volcanic deposit located near Bemia, in southeastern Madagascar, were investigated by classical gemological methods, SEM-EDS, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, LA-ICP-MS, and Raman and IR spectroscopy. Although none of the opals show play-of-color, they exhibit a wide variety of hues-- including those typical of fire ...

Fire and Rhizosphere Effects on Bacterial Co-Occurrence Patterns
Microorganisms, 2023 Fires are common in Mediterranean soils and constitute an important driver of their evolution. Although fire effects on vegetation dynamics are widely studied, their influence on the assembly rules of soil prokaryotes in a small-scale environment has attracted limited attention. In the present study, we reanalyzed the data from Aponte et al.

A data-driven model for Fennoscandian wildfire danger [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Wildfires are recurrent natural hazards that affect terrestrial ecosystems, the carbon cycle, climate and society. They are typically hard to predict, as their exact location and occurrence are driven by a variety of factors.

Spatial patterns of fire occurrence in Catalonia, NE, Spain [PDF]
Landscape Ecology, 2004 In this paper, we analyse spatial patterns of fire occurrence in Catalonia (NE Spain) during 1975-98. Fire scar maps, discriminated by means of 30-60 m resolution remote sensing imagery, have been used as a source of fire occurrence. We employ several visual or analytical approaches to interpret fire occurrence in this region, such as those of Minnich ...

Climatic and Landscape Influences on Fire Regimes from 1984 to 2010 in the Western United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 An improved understanding of the relative influences of climatic and landscape controls on multiple fire regime components is needed to enhance our understanding of modern fire regimes and how they will respond to future environmental change.

Ecology and Society, 2022 Both anthropogenic and climatic factors are important determinants of landscape fire. Because the two groups of factors are intertwined and often act simultaneously, dissecting their effects on landscape fire is challenging. We used the COVID-19 lockdown

Human-caused fire occurrence modelling in perspective: a review [PDF]
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2017 The increasing global concern about wildfires, mostly caused by people, has triggered the development of human-caused fire occurrence models in many countries. The premise is that better knowledge of the underlying factors is critical for many fire management purposes, such as operational decision-making in suppression and strategic prevention planning,

Aspects of Fire Occurrences Caused by Tsunami
Fire Science and Technology, 2011 According to official reports, 286 fires broke out due to the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake and its aftershocks. Approximately half of the fires occurred in flooded area following the great tsunami. Those fires have very unique aspects compared with other conflagrations followed by big earthquakes in the past.
