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

Forest Fuel Loads Estimation from Landsat ETM+ and ALOS PALSAR Data
Remote Sensing, 2021 Fuel load is the key factor driving fire ignition, spread and intensity. The current literature reports the light detection and ranging (LiDAR), optical and airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for fuel load estimation, but the optical and SAR ...
