Incorporating Short-Term Forecast Mean Winds and NWP Maximum Gusts into Effective Wind Speed for Extreme Weather-Aware Wildfire Spread Prediction

Fire
Because wildfire spread is strongly influenced by instantaneous gusts, models that use only mean wind speed typically underestimate spread. In contrast, incorporating suppression effects often leads to overestimation.

Developing the US Wildland Fire Decision Support System

Journal of Combustion, 2011
A new decision support tool, the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) has been developed to support risk-informed decision-making for individual fires in the United States.

Forest fire motives in Sardinia through the perception of experts. [PDF]

, 2014
Wildfires statistics for Sardinia (Italy) exhibit a very high number of unknown causes: all merged, they account for about 78%. In order to reduce their number, which really hinders any preventive approach, we tested Delphi method, the structured ...

Reproduction of Smaller Wildfire Perimeters Observed by Polar-Orbiting Satellites Using ROS Adjustment Factors and Wildfire Spread Simulators

Remote Sensing
While geostationary satellites can provide continuous near-real-time observations, their low spatial resolution makes it difficult to detect small wildfires.

Understanding human-fire interactions in tropical forest regions : a case for interdisciplinary research across the natural and social sciences [PDF]

, 2011
Fire in the forested tropics has profound environmental, economic, and social impacts at multiple geographical scales. Causes of tropical fires are widely documented, although research contributions are from many disciplines, and each tends to focus on ...

Experimental Characterization of Mycelium‐Based Composites Under Multiple Loading Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines the mechanical response of mycelium‐based composites under compression, shear, and tension using mechanical testing and imaging methods. The comparison between unpressed and hot‐pressed specimens shows that hot pressing is associated with higher compression and shear stiffnesses.

Evaluation of the Spatial Distribution of Predictors of Fire Regimes in China from 2003 to 2016

Remote Sensing, 2023
Wildfire has extensive and profound impacts on forest structure and function. Therefore, it is important to study the spatial and temporal patterns of forest fire regimes and their drivers in order to better understand the feedbacks between climate ...

Impact of fire on Finnish forest in the past and today. [PDF]

, 1996
Part II BiodiversityNearly every forest stand in Finland has been burnt down by a wildfire at least once during the past 400–500 years. Slash and burn cultivation (1700–1920) was practised on 50–75 percent of Finland’s forests, while prescribed burning ...
