An aerial ignition system using and incendiary device and a helicopter can be used to backburn a large area safely and completely. The system was used to backburn 4,800 acres and helped bring under control a large fire in February 1986. The system and the conditions under which…

Fire frequency, extent, and size exhibit a strong linkage with climate conditions and play a vital role in the climate system. Previous studies have shown that the frequency of large fires in the western United States increased significantly since the mid-1980s due to climate…

In this paper, we analyze the current and future status of forests in Ukraine and Belarus that were contaminated after the nuclear disaster in 1986. Using several models, together with remote-sensing data and observations, we studied how climate change in these forests may…
