Cross-country risk quantification of extreme wildfires in Mediterranean Europe. [PDF]

, 2022
We estimate the country-level risk of extreme wildfires defined by burned area (BA) for Mediterranean Europe and carry out a cross-country comparison. To this end, we avail of the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) geospatial data from 2006 ...

INFERNO-peat v1.0.0: a representation of northern high-latitude peat fires in the JULES-INFERNO global fire model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Peat fires in the northern high latitudes have the potential to burn vast amounts of carbon-rich organic soil, releasing large quantities of long-term stored carbon to the atmosphere.

Estimating future wildfire burnt area over Greece using the JULES-INFERNO model [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Our previous studies have shown that fire weather conditions in the Mediterranean and specifically over Greece are expected to become more severe with climate change, impling potential increases in burnt area.

How policy interventions influence burning to meet cultural and small-scale livelihood objectives

Ecology and Society
Fire has cultural and economic significance for Indigenous and rural peoples worldwide, being used to manage landscapes for activities such as hunting, gathering, cropping, and forestry, and for ceremonial and spiritual purposes.

Global environmental controls on wildfire burnt area, size, and intensity

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Fire is an important influence on the global patterns of vegetation structure and composition. Wildfire is included as a distinct process in many dynamic global vegetation models but limited current understanding of fire regimes restricts these models ...

Model fires, not ignitions: Capturing the human dimension of global fire regimes

Cell Reports Sustainability
Fire regimes are intrinsically shaped by humans, but current global fire models do not reflect the diverse objectives humans have for managing fire. With new data sources and collaboration across disciplines, an improved understanding of human influences

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Decolonising Fire Science by Reexamining Fire Management across Contested Landscapes: A Workshop Approach

Fire
In many landscapes worldwide, fire regimes and human–fire interactions were reorganised by colonialism and continue to be shaped by neo-colonial processes.

Solid Ethanol as a Renewable, Low‐Toxicity, Electron‐Beam Direct Write, and Biomedical Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
3D ice lithography (3DIL) enables the fabrication of intricate submicrometer objects using ethanol as a renewable starting material. This study combines process optimization, structural and material analysis, and biomedical applications, from cell culture scaffolds to the patterning of neurostimulation electrodes, demonstrating performance in both in ...

The Spatial Distribution and Temporal Drivers of Changing Global Fire Regimes: A Coupled Socio‐Ecological Modeling Approach

Earth's Future
The limited capacity of fire‐enabled vegetation models to represent human influences on fire regimes is a fundamental challenge in fire science. This limitation places a major constraint on our capacity to understand how vegetation fire may change under ...
