Multimodal Wildland Fire Smoke Detection

CoRR, 2022
Research has shown that climate change creates warmer temperatures and drier conditions, leading to longer wildfire seasons and increased wildfire risks in the United States. These factors have in turn led to increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of wildfires in recent years.

On the wind advection influence on the fire spread across a fuel bed: modelling by a semi-physical approach and testing with experiments [PDF]

, 2001
This paper is devoted to the study of the advection effect on the fire spread across a fuel bed by means of a semi-physical model. This work is a step forward in our general process which consists in elaborating a simple model of fire spread to be used ...

Effects of climate oscillations on wildland fire potential in the continental United States

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
The effects of climate oscillations on spatial and temporal variations in wildland fire potential in the continental U.S. are examined from 1979 to 2015 using cyclostationary empirical orthogonal functions (CSEOFs).

Propagation probability and spread rates of self-sustained smouldering fires under controlled moisture content and bulk density conditions [PDF]

, 2015
The consumption of large areas of peat during wildfires is due to self-sustained smouldering fronts that can remain active for weeks. We studied the effect of peat moisture content and bulk density on the horizontal propagation of smouldering fire in ...

RETRACE Project: How to Enhance Resilience to Climate Risks in Pacific and Arctic Indigenous Communities?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk management has evolved to analyze risks in a systemic way, integrating local knowledge with the abstract concept of resilience, which is now an imperative for vulnerable and exposed communities. However, existing decision‐support tools are mainly focused on technical‐functional aspects and, although based on rigorous and scientific ...

Wildfire Ash Alters Freshwater Crustacean Behavior: Disentangling the Contributions of Suspended Macroparticles and Ash‐Induced Alkalinization

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and anthropogenic ignitions are intensifying wildfire frequency worldwide, elevating the risk of freshwater contamination by ash. In water, dissolved ash releases ions and other toxic constituents that increase pH and alter physicochemical conditions, while suspended ash particles may impose mechanical stress, disrupt behavior ...

Willingness-to-Pay for prescribed fire in the Colorado (USA) Wildland Urban Interface [PDF]

, 2006
During the summer of 2001, survey data were collected from Colorado residents living near public lands (i.e., the wildland urban interface). Data were collected by telephone after mailing respondents a survey.

Pyros: a raster–vector spatial simulation model for predicting wildland surface fire spread and growth [PDF]

Background Euro–Mediterranean regions are expected to undergo a climate-induced exacerbation of fire activity in the upcoming decades. Reliable predictions of fire behaviour represent an essential instrument for planning and optimising fire management ...

Burning in banksia woodlands: How does the fire-free period influence reptile communities? [PDF]

, 2012
Fire is an important management tool for both hazard reduction burning and maintenance of biodiversity. The impact of time since last fire on fauna is an important factor to understand as land managers often aim for prescribed burning regimes with ...
