Keynote address

From the text (p.8-9) ... 'Fire can be friend or foe depending upon how we use it. Our first inclination is to think of all wildfires as bad and all prescribed fires as good, but this isn't necessarily so. The main difference between the two is often really but one of intent.…

Wildland Fires and Nuclear Winters: Selected Reconstruction of Historic Large Fires

Under the nuclear winter scenario, large wildland fires are expected to contribute to a general smoke plume and are considered potential analogues for the behavior of gigantic palls. As a means of testing the reasonableness of current estimates of a wildland fire contribution,…
