Smoke exposure data among U.S. wildland firefighters for carbon monoxide, respirable particulate and respirable crystalline silica are presented from a field surveillance program between 2009 and 2012. Models to predict fireline-average exposure to each inhalation hazard were…

Adam Terando will review the results of a collaborative project with Dr. John Kupfer of the University of South Carolina and Kevin Hiers of Tall Timbers Reserach station. Wildfires are a focus for many studies seeking to define risks associated with climate change, but the total…

Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland
Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire. Ecosystems that historically burned…

A new method to calculate the plume rise of smoke emitted from fires is evaluated. We perform numerical simulations of the plumes originated by fires from prescribed burnings. The field experiments, carried out in August 2013 in Idaho and Washington States (USA), are considered…
