Appropriately for a geography book, the existence and form of this one have undoubtedly
been influenced by place. When I first moved to Plymouth (UK) I had no inkling that I would …

The wildfire prediction model is crucial for accurate rescue and rapid evacuation. Existing
models mainly adopt regular grids or fire perimeters to describe the wildfire landscape …

Recent empirical and theoretical analyses have suggested that biomes could correspond to
alternative equilibrium states; one such example is the transition between forest, savanna …

Fire spread modelling in landscape fire succession models needs to improve to handle
uncertainty under global change processes and the resulting impact on forest systems …

A new modeling approach which combined survival probabilities for spruce with financial
optimization showed a considerably reduction in financial risk in spruce (Picea abies [L.] …

A cellular automata fire model represents 'elements' of fire by autonomous agents. A few
simple algebraic expressions substituted for complex physical and meteorological …

An experimental study has been performed to investigate the integral characteristics of the
processes of heat and mass transfer and phase transformations during interaction of a …

Flaming ignition properties of dead and live thin wildland porous fuels submitted to different
incident heat flux intensities are examined experimentally using a cone calorimeter. Data …

Smoke plume rise is critically dependent on plume updraft structure. Smoke plumes from
landscape burns (forest and agricultural burns) are typically structured into “sub-plumes” or …

In this paper we present a surface wildfire model which can be used to develop and test new
firefighting strategies and land use planning practices. This model is simple, easy to …
