The wildfire risk management in buildings

Apesar do aumento dos investimentos na gestão de incêndios florestais, a ocorrência de incêndios maiores e mais intensos tornou-se mais frequente. Consequentemente, o impacto nas infraestruturas localizadas em áreas de alto risco levou a situações dramáticas, envolvendo a destruição de bens com significativo valor económico e social e, em casos ...

Identifying opportunity hot spots for reducing the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in western US conifer forests

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
The escalating climate and wildfire crises have generated worldwide interest in using proactive forest management (e.g. forest thinning, prescribed fire, cultural burning) to mitigate the risk of wildfire-caused carbon loss in forests.

Uncertainty Aware Wildfire Management

CoRR, 2020
Recent wildfires in the United States have resulted in loss of life and billions of dollars, destroying countless structures and forests. Fighting wildfires is extremely complex. It is difficult to observe the true state of fires due to smoke and risk associated with ground surveillance.

Transcending Parallel Play: Boundary Spanning for Collective Action in Wildfire Management

Fire, 2021
A key challenge in the United States is how to manage wildfire risk across boundaries and scales, as roles, responsibilities, and ability to act are distributed among actors in ways that do not always incentivize collective action.

ARIMA-based forecasting of the effects of wildfire on the increasing tree cover trend and recurrence interval of woody encroachment in grazing land

Resources, Environment and Sustainability, 2022
Invasive tree removal from grazing lands using costly brush management practices is widely employed. However, wildfire-like natural events can prevent the increasing trend of woody tree encroachment in grazing lands at no cost, instead of cost-oriented ...
