Abstract: Abstract Firebrand shower and its subsequent spot fires are responsible for more than half of the ignitions reported during wildfires, in particular at wildland urban interface (WUI) areas. The firebrand transport is a highly stochastic… read more here.

Abstract: Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires have become a problem of great concern across multiple continents. An important mechanism of structure ignition in WUI fires and urban fires is the production of firebrands. During WUI fires, decking… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Ember/firebrand spotting is an important mechanism by which wildland fires can rapidly spread. This process occurs when firebrands from a fire upwind land on a fuel downwind. These firebrands may initiate a flaming fire… read more here.
