Assessing Wildfire Hazard for Powerline Expansion Under the Changing Climates in Alberta, Canada
Abstract Escaped powerline‐caused fires (EPFs) are increasing in fire‐prone regions, including Alberta, Canada, underscoring growing tensions between expanding powerlines and managing wildfire risk. As fire‐conducive weather becomes more frequent, it remains unclear how future infrastructure can be planned to minimize wildfire risk.

Reframing the human–robot ratio: Collaborative autonomy and the attention‐demand economy
Abstract The human–robot ratio is a useful design heuristic for supervisory robot control. However, advances in AI, computation, and reliable autonomy enable existing systems to extend beyond hierarchical supervision to more flexible organizations of interdependent team members.

Fire Detection And 3D Fire Propagation Estimation For The Protection Of Cultural Heritage Areas [PDF]
Beyond taking precautionary measures to avoid a forest fire, early warning and immediate response to a fire breakout are the only ways to avoid great losses and environmental and cultural heritage damages.

Meta-analysis of avian and small-mammal response to fire severity and fire surrogate treatments in U.S. fire-prone forests [PDF]
Management in fire-prone ecosystems relies widely upon application of prescribed fire and/or fire surrogate (e.g., forest thinning) treatments to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function.

A Protocol for Collecting Burned Area Time Series Cross-Check Data
Data on wildfire growth are useful for multiple research purposes but are frequently unavailable and often have data quality problems. For these reasons, we developed a protocol for collecting daily burned area time series from the InciWeb website ...

Responding to Post‐Wildfire Water System VOCs and SVOCs
ABSTRACT The 2021 Marshall Fire burned 593 properties within the City of Louisville, CO, and over 1,000 properties total. Responding to fire impacts on the drinking water system, Louisville developed a sampling and flushing recovery plan to address volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi‐volatile organic compounds (SVOCs).

Reducing Wildland Fire Hazard Exploiting Complex Network Theory: a Case Study Analysis
We discuss a new systematic methodology to mitigate wildland fire hazard by appropriately distributing fuel breaks in space. In particular, motivated by the concept of information flow in complex networks we create a hierarchical allocation of the ...
