Landscape fire is a widespread, somewhat unpredictable phenomena that plays an
important part in Earth's biogeochemical cycling. In many biomes worldwide fire also …

The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires highlight the need for accurate fire and
plume spread models. We introduce an approach that effectively isolates and tracks fire and …

There is a need for nowcasting tools to provide timely and accurate updates on the location
and rate of spread (ROS) of large wildfires, especially those impacting communities in the …

In 2019 the Canadian Space Agency initiated development of a dedicated wildfire
monitoring satellite (WildFireSat) mission. The intent of this mission is to support operational …

The emergence of affordable unmanned aerial systems (UAS) creates new opportunities to
study fire behavior and ecosystem pattern—process relationships. A rotor-wing UAS …

A 3.6 ha experimental fire was conducted in a black spruce peatland forest that had
undergone thinning the year prior. After 50 m of spread in a natural stand at 35–60 m min …

Background. Prescribed fire is vital for fuel reduction and ecological restoration, but the
effectiveness and fine-scale interactions are poorly understood. Aims. We developed …

An important property of wildfire behaviour is rate of spread (ROS). The objectives of this
study are to evaluate the uncertainty of landscape-scale ROS estimates derived from …

Fire behavior is well described by a fire's direction, rate of spread, and its energy release
rate. Fire intensity as defined by Byram (1959) is the most commonly used term describing …

For the past two decades, satellite-derived activef fire data have been used in a multitude of
operational applications and in a large and growing body of research on the role of fire …
