Due to socio-economic and climatic changes around the world, large outdoor fires in the
built environment have become one of the global issues that threaten billions of people. The …

Wildfires currently represent an imminent danger to communities around the world due to
their increasing severity and frequency. It is critical to expand current knowledge on wildfire …

Forest fires produce many different pollutants, including soot formation and aerosol
emissions. Air pollution from wildfires leads to cardiopulmonary disease and impacts on the …

Background Complex interactions between fuel structure and fire substantially affect fire
spread and spatial variability in fire behaviour. Heterogeneous arrangement of the fuel …

This paper reports two experimental fires conducted at field-scale in Corsica, across a
particular mountain shrubland. The orientation of the experimental plots was chosen in such …

Background Further understanding of the effect of fuel structure on underlying physical
phenomena controlling flame spread is required given the lack of a coherent porous flame …

The present article aims to enhance the understanding of the solid-state thermal
degradation behavior and pyrolysis kinetics of Mediterranean Genista Salzmannii Needles …

In addition to the experimental approach, wildfire modelling has been developed over the
last decades to better understand the behaviour of wildfires and to propose new …

This paper presents a research program called CP2DIMG conducted at the Federation of
Environment and Society Research at the University of Corsica. The goal of CP2DIMG is to …

A safe separation distance (SSD) needs to be considered during firefighting activities (fire
suppression or people evacuation) against wildfires. The SSD is of critical interest for both …
