A generalized wildfire containment algorithm

“Accounting for the effects of fire suppression and containment efforts has posed a challenge in wildfire modeling. Fire suppression is a complex phenomenon depending on factors such as resource availability, weather, terrain, and fire suppression priorities in a given place and time. Suppression is an influential factor in wildfire growth though, and should be considered…

A quantitative analysis of firefighter availability and prescribed burning in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest

“Wildfire activity in the western United States has been on the rise since the mid-1980s, with longer, higher-risk fire seasons projected for the future. Prescribed burning mitigates the risk of extreme wildfire events, but such treatments are currently underutilized. Fire managers have cited lack of firefighter availability as a key barrier to prescribed burning” Read…

A strategic environmental water rights market for Colorado River reallocation

“The Colorado River system is among the world’s most overallocated basins, struggling to supply water to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Consequently, 90% of the basin’s native fish species are endangered, threatened or extinct. Driven by a 24-year megadrought, the United States allocated over US$4 billion for drought mitigation, including water market transactions that…

Cascading land surface hazards as a nexus in the Earth system

“Natural hazards such as earthquakes, fires, and floods can dramatically affect human life and infrastructure. These events do not always occur alone, however, because one often cascades into another. Yanites et al. reviewed how surface processes can create a complex sequence of events that heightens hazard susceptibility and poses additional risks to people and property. Understanding…

Trees don’t like to breathe wildfire smoke, either – and they’ll hold their breath to avoid it

“When wildfire smoke is in the air, doctors urge people to stay indoors to avoid breathing in harmful particles and gases. But what happens to trees and other plants that can’t escape from the smoke?” Read more HERE
