Our hydro-climate dataset was developed using the VIC hydrologic model with the LDAS parameterization; we thus used the LDAS 1/8grid to sample the fire severity dataset.P. Modeling fire severity in CaliforniaUSA ( Firefire)Eighth Symposium on Fire & Forest Meteorology...
To assess the effect of fire suppression on patterns of fire severity, for each fire we calculated the proportion that burned at high severity (CBI values ≥ 2.25; sensu Parks & Abatzoglou53) and the weighted mean fire severity. For each simulation we calculated the required change in me...
All told, more than 2.7 million Californians live in very high fire hazard severity zones, from trailers off quiet dirt roads in the forest to mansions in the state’s largest cities, according to the analysis, which is based on 2010 block-level census data. The California Department of Fore...
Here, sociopolitical motivations and barriers for participation are evaluated in a state-recommended, though not legally required, local program in California (Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones). Through this regional case study, we examine how and why communities do or do not participate in ...
“but the severity of future impacts will depend largely on actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the changes that will occur.” the report comes as california faces a series of devastating wildfires that have claimed scores of lives...
recent decades6. Hot and dry conditions resulting from rising global temperatures have led to increases in the frequency and severity of fire weather7. California8,9,10, southeastern Australia11, and Southern Europe12,13have recently seen major wildfire outbreaks associated with extreme fire weather....
Continental-scale studies of western North America have attributed recent increases in annual area burned and fire size to a warming climate, but these studies have focused on large fires and have left the issues of fire severity and ignition frequency unaddressed. Lightning ignitions, any of which...
Hardest hit are areas designated by Cal Fire as "very high fire hazard severityzones." Most of the Sierra foothills are included, but also big swaths of the Bay Area including the Oakland and Berkeley Hills, Lamorinda, Pleasanton and parts of San Mateo and southern Santa...
