Purnomo, Christensen, Fernandez-Anez, Rein
Background: Smouldering peatland wildfires can last for months and create a positive feedback for climate change. These flameless, slow-burning fires spread horizontally and vertically and are strongly influenced by peat moisture content. Most…

Zhang, Wang, Yang, Liu
Global climate change and extreme weather has a profound impact on wildfire, and it is of great importance to explore wildfire patterns in the context of global climate change for wildfire prevention and management. In this paper, a wildfire spatial…

Volkova, Fernández
Fire is an important component of many forest ecosystems, yet climate change is now modifying fire regimes all over the world, driving a need to understand the impact of fires on the physical and biological processes. In 2022, Elsevier launched a…

Prichard, Hessburg
The landscape of eastern Washington, USA is comprised of common temperate forest and nonforest vegetation types distributed along broad topo-edaphic gradients. This landscape acts as the large testbed for presenters Susan Prichard and Paul Hessburg…

Wilkinson, Vachula
Relationships between rates of change in Earth-surface systems and their measurement durations suggest that rates may be critically dependent on durations of observation. Studies relating rates and durations of change have appeared increasingly over…

Hwang, Chong, Zhang, Agnew, Xu, Li, Xu
As wildfire risks have elevated due to climate change, the health risks that toxicants from fire smoke pose to wildland firefighters have been exacerbated. Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has reclassified wildland…
