Exposure of the Canadian Wildland-Human Interface (WHI) and population to wildland fire, under current and future climate conditions

, 2021
In Canada, recent fire seasons have demonstrated the threat of wildland fire in the Wildland-Human Interface (WHI) areas, where forest fuels intermingle with or abut housing, industry, and infrastr...

Native American fire management at an ancient wildland–urban interface in the Southwest United States

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance As residential development continues into flammable landscapes, wildfires increasingly threaten homes, lives, and livelihoods in the so-called “wildland–urban interface,” or WUI. Although this problem seems distinctly modern, Native American

Disproportionately large impacts of wildland-urban interface fire emissions on global air quality and human health

Science Advances
Fires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) are a global issue with growing importance. However, the impact of WUI fires on air quality and health is less understood compared to that of fires in wildland.
