The recent huge technological development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can
provide breakthrough means of fighting wildland fires. We propose an innovative forest …

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

Prediction of the way wildfires propagate in forests and rangelands is one of the critical
issues in environmental protection and disaster management. This research aims to …

Fighting fires is a very risky job, where loss of life is a real possibility. Proper training is
essential. Several firemen academies offer courses and programs whose goal is to enhance …

Pinewood nematode (PWN) is one of the most threatening invasive pests in the pine forests
of E urope, and it has recently spread to the I berian P eninsula via import of timber and …

In this paper, we propose a methodology and algorithms for search and rescue mission
planning. These algorithms construct optimal areas for lost person search having in mind the …

This paper states the research done in building a Wildfire Propagation Simulation tool able
to present graphically, how the fire will be propagated in case of a wildfire. The core of this …

Forest fire model is one of the dynamic system models that used cellular automaton
paradigm. In this chapter, we discuss the forest fire model and how to implement in the …

Forest fires have become intense and more frequent in the last few decades all over the
world. The profound impacts forest fires have on atmospheric chemistry, biogeochemical …

Forest fires are adverse events both economically and mentally. Triggers of fires are
complex variables so that the spread of fire to date has not been predicted. Modeling is one …
