Characteristics of wildfire and prescribed burn study sites.Kirsten StephanKathleen L. KavanaghAkihiro Koyama
Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of wildfires in various regions and the underlying environmental and meteorological causal factors, towards better wildfire disaster management strategies and habitat-specific firefighting. 展开 ...
WildfireHazardVulnerabilityRiskA large body of research focuses on identifying patterns of human populations most at risk from hazards and the factors that help explain performance of mitigations that can help reduce that risk. One common concept in such studies is social vulnerability鈥攈uman ...
The area under the curve (AUC) in ROC represents the accuracy of the prediction method based on the distribution of actual points of wildfire (Mohammadi, Bavaghar, & Shabanian, 2014). In general, kappa coefficient represents a coefficient which expresses a degree of compatibility between assigned...

Ambient air pollution brought by the rapid economic development and industrial production in China has exerted a significant influence on socio-economic activities and public health, especially in the densely populated urban areas. Therefore, scientific
The increasing frequency of heatwaves over East Asia (EA) is impacting agriculture, water management, and people’s livelihood. However, the effect of humidity on high-temperature events has not yet been fully explored. Using observations and future clim

[1] Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flash parameters collected by the National Lightning Detection Network were analyzed in conjunction with ...
According to the United Nations report Human Cost of Disasters, climate-related disasters include those categorized as meteorological (e.g., storm, extreme temperature, and fog), climatological (e.g., drought, glacial lake outburst, wildfire), or hydrological (e.g., flood, landslide, and wave...
The extreme heat from wildfire alters soil properties and incinerates vegetation, leading to changes in infiltration capacity, ground cover, soil erodibility, and rainfall interception. These changes promote elevated rates of runoff and sediment transport that increase the likelihood of ...
