Patterns of flammability after a sequence of mixed‐severity wildfire in dry eucalypt forests of southern Australia

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Fire severity is the impact of a fire on the landscape, particularly the physical impact on vegetation. Previous studies have established that the severity of a fire can be influenced by the severity of previous fires.

Investigation of fire risk zones using heat–humidity time series data and vegetation

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2022
Forest fires destroy these areas and have devastating and harmful socio-economic and environmental effects. One of the methods of preventing and managing the hazards created in the field of forest fires is to determine the range of fire risk. The purpose

Study on quantification scheme of weight coefficient for electrical fire risk assessment of high-rise building

open access: yesInternational Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, 2022
Electrical fire is a very important fire type in high-rise building fire. Therefore, it has high research value for risk assessment of electric fire in high-rise buildings.

A compound event-oriented framework to tropical fire risk assessment in a changing climate

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Tropical fire activity closely follows the co-occurrence of multiple climate stressors. Yet, it remains challenging to quantify how changes in climate alter the likelihood of fire risks associated with compound events.

Tunnels with rough walls and cavities

open access: yesIngeniería Investigación y Desarrollo, 2014
Often the finishing surfaces of road tunnels (both gables and vaults) present not only important uniform roughness, but even holes that can be numerous and with significant size: usually in uncoated tunnel is where most uniform and major irregularities ...

The provision of fire services in rural areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Fire services have been neglected in discussions of public service provision in rural areas. The way in which they are provided has a broader significance in terms of current debates about risk management.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Active Fires in the Arctic Region during 2001–2019 and a Fire Risk Assessment Model

open access: yesFire, 2021
The increasing frequency of active fires worldwide has caused significant impacts on terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric systems. Polar regions have received little attention due to their sparse populations, but active fires in the Arctic cause carbon ...

Higher Snowfall Intensity is Associated with Reduced Impacts of Warming Upon Winter Snow Ablation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Warming temperatures are altering winter snowpack accumulation and ablation. Physically based snowpack simulations have indicated that increasing precipitation intensity may buffer the impacts of warming on annual maximum snow water equivalents. Here, we
