Microscopic charcoal fragments preserved in lake and swamp sediments with pollen and other microfossils provide evidence for past burning regimes. Some problems with the interpretation of charcoal records are similar to those of pollen analysis, but other factors must be taken…

The motion of a strong line thermal in an unstratified atmosphere is modeled to estimate a bound for its capability to life firebrand particles. It is found that the maximum height of a viable firebrand is roughly proportional to the square root of thermal strength. The…

About 872,000 acres of forest and agricultural land were burned in Georgia during 1972, releasing an estimated 17,000 tons of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Most of this burning was done in the southwestern half of the State during January, February, and March.…
