Accentuated by climate change, catastrophic wildfires are a growing, distributed global public health risk from inhalation of smoke and dust. Underrecognized, however, are the health threats arising from fire-altered toxic metals natural to soils and plants. Here, we demonstrate that high temperatures...
the results were subsequently overlaid with the land cover maps of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry from 2013 to 2017. These land cover maps show the spatial extent of 22 classes of land cover, which are aggregated here into five broad categories: 1) forests (intact and degraded peat...
For illustration purposes, we present the maps depicting the impact of prescribed burnings (fuel removal) in 2090s (Fig. 3). For this analysis, we apply spatially explicit (pixel level) calibration of q mentioned in the “Modelling strategy” The SFMMRI model (GFED-calibrated on the historica...
20. The forests of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province in southwestern Iran are particularly vulnerable to forest fires, providing a motivation for the choice of this area for our study. Maps that show areas at high risk from wildfires help managers and planners to deal with this problem21,22...
and oxidizes to burn under natural conditions that occur in exposed coal seams or underground, so as in coal waste and storage piles4. Coal fires occur everywhere such as the United States, South Africa, India, Australia, Indonesia, China and Canada4,5, which are major coal-producing ...
Table 1. Participant Descriptive Statistics at Weeks 1 and 7. Table 2. Participant Fitness and Firefighting Ability Statistics at Weeks 1 and 7. During the first three days of both the first (Week 1) and final (Week 7) weeks of each academy course, firefighter recruits completed fitne...
Apart from those, a deterministic–probabilistic approach was used by Baranovskiy [18] to do comparative analysis of forecast data and statistics. 1.5. Objective and Contribution To sum up, it is very necessary to carry out fire spread forecasting in Heilongjiang Province and to provide theoretical...
[42,55] to generate heat maps and detect/locate fires. Lin et al. [54,63] also theorized the use of temperature sensors to estimate a fire contour and rate of spread in the context of fire modeling. Most of the authors are using temperature sensors in the context of a simulation and ...
