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...
Lightning data are available from the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center (https://fire.ak.blm.gov/predsvcs/maps.php) and from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Infrastructure data are available for Alaska from the Department of Natural Resources (https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/alaska-...
Our multi-hazard study in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province involved (1) identifying and prioritizing the factors affecting the occurrence of each natural hazard in the region; (2) preparing maps of flood, gully erosion, forest fires, and earthquake hazards separately using three machine learning ...
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...
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 ...

The vast Angara region, with an area of 13.8 million ha, is located in the southern taiga of central Siberia, Russia. This is one of the most disturbed regions by both fire and logging in northern Asia. We have developed surface and ground fuel-load maps

The area extent (area burnt by suppression firing exclusively) had to be estimated from a manual/visual interpretation of maps and line scan images, which was cross-referenced with the SitRep comments, eMap data, and IAPs. The aim of suppression firing is to alter a fire through interaction ...
