Uncertainty and risk in wildland fire management: a review
MP Thompson, DE Calkin - Journal of environmental management, 2011 - Elsevier
Wildland fire management is subject to manifold sources of uncertainty. Beyond the
unpredictability of wildfire behavior, uncertainty stems from inaccurate/missing data, limited …
