DOI: 10.1002/fam.3287
Abstract: The need for numerical‐based approaches to investigate the fire behaviour in buildings with combustible components is growing due to the increasing use of timber by the construction industry to meet the ‘Climate Action Plan 2050’.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.08.039
Abstract: Abstract The impacts of wildfires have increased in recent decades because of historical forest and fire management, a rapidly changing climate, and an increasingly populated wildland urban interface. This increasingly complex fire environment highlights the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024gl112539
Abstract: The duration of large wildfires in the western US has increased significantly from 1992 to 2020 in the two fire seasons, by 0.76 days yr−1 in summer and 0.55 days yr−1 in fall. The factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2017-0271
Abstract: This study introduces a large fire containment strategy that builds upon recent advances in spatial fire planning, notably the concept of potential wildland fire operation delineations (PODs). Multiple PODs can be clustered together to form… read more here.
