A Decade Long, Multi-Scale Map Comparison of Fire Regime Parameters Derived from Three Publically Available Satellite-Based Fire Products: A Case Study in the Central African Republic

Remote Sensing, 2014
Although it is assumed that satellite-derived descriptions of fire activity will differ depending on the dataset selected for analysis, as of yet, the effects of failed and false detections at the pixel level and on an instantaneous basis have not been ...

Mid‐21st‐century climate changes increase predicted fire occurrence and fire season length, Northern Rocky Mountains, United States

Ecosphere, 2016
Climate changes are expected to increase fire frequency, fire season length, and cumulative area burned in the western United States. We focus on the potential impact of mid‐21st‐century climate changes on annual burn probability, fire season length, and

Towards a study of fire occurrences in Indonesia

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract In the past 5 years, the issue of forest and peatland fires in Indonesia has received a major concern from various parties. As one of the prevention efforts, the Government of Indonesia seeks to prevent the ignition of forest and peatland fires both anthropogenic and naturally as a result of prolonged drought.

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

Effects of the COVID-19 lockdown in Hubei, China: cessation of incense burning reduces regional landscape fire

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
