The spatial variations of lightning during small Florida thunderstorms [PDF]
Networks of field mills (FM's) and lightning direction finders (LDF's) were used to locate lightning over the NASA KSC on three storm days. Over 90 percent of all cloud-to-ground (CG) flashes that were detected by the LDF's in the study area were also ...

Simulation and measurement of melting effects on metal sheets caused by direct lightning strikes [PDF]
Direct lightning strikes melt metal parts of various systems, like fuel and propellant tanks of rockets and airplanes, at the point of strike. Responsible for this melting are the impulse current and, if occurring, the long duration current, both ...

Evolving Fire Frequency in the Western United States and Its Links to Human Influence
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Burned area and wildfire damages in the western United States (WUS) have increased dramatically in recent decades. Wildfire frequency, however, has shown trends that vary by data set, region, and fire size. Using a comprehensive fire occurrence data set screened for reporting artifacts from 1992 to 2020, we show a significant downward trend in

Effects of Wildfire on Soil Hydraulic Properties in the Western Oregon Cascades
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Wildfires can substantially impact the hydrology of forested watersheds, increasing the risk of hydrologic hazards such as flash floods and debris flows. Soil hydraulic properties related to infiltration are a key control in determining the timing and magnitude of these hydrogeomorphic events.
