Eruptive Behaviour of Forest Fires [PDF]

, 2010
A critical review of the mechanisms that are described in the literature to explain the onset and development of eruption or blow up in forest fires is presented, given their great relevance for fire safety, particularly in canyons. The various processes

Spatiotemporal variation in fire occurrence in the state of Amazonas, Brazil, between 2003 and 2016 [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2018
Wildland fires can be responsible for negative impacts on the environment, causing damage to the fauna and flora and increasing the release of greenhouse gases.

Wildland fire typologies and extreme temperatures in NE Spain

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017
Understanding instrumental factors dealing with the development of large wildland fires is a need. Fire spread typologies and extreme temperature days were studied in the 1978-2012 period in Aragón (NE Spain).

Face-to-face with scorching wildfire: potential toxicant exposure and the health risks of smoke for wildland firefighters at the wildland-urban interface

The Lancet Regional Health. Americas, 2023
Summary: As wildfire risks have elevated due to climate change, the health risks that toxicants from fire smoke pose to wildland firefighters have been exacerbated.

Assessing Fire Risk in Wildland–Urban Interface Regions Using a Machine Learning Method and GIS data: The Example of Istanbul’s European Side

Fire, 2023
Like many places around the world, the wildland–urban interface areas surrounding urban regions are subject to variable levels of fire risk, threatening the natural habitats they contact.

Assessing dependence between frequency and severity through shared random effects.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Research on the occurrence and the final size of wildland fires typically models these two events as two separate processes. In this work, we develop and apply a compound process framework for jointly modelling the frequency and the severity of wildland ...

A framework for use of wireless sensor networks in forest fire detection and monitoring [PDF]

, 2012
Forest fires are one of the main causes of environmental degradation nowadays. Current surveillance systems for forest fires lack in supporting real-time monitoring of every point of a region at all times and early detection of fire threats.
