Investigating regional climate drivers, wildfire mitigation, and air quality responses.
Climate change is increasing wildfire activity in many regions, amplifying air pollution impacts in densely populated areas. This dissertation studies climate drivers, wildfire mitigation, and urban air quality responses to better inform integrated environmental management. Using observations from …

How spatial planning can enable pathways toward wildfire mitigation within the fire-prone wildland and urban interface, City of Cape Town
18th of April 2021, a wildfire raged through parts of the University of Cape Towns upper campus, with damage assessed at approximately R500 million. There were calls from senior leadership that UCT "will rebuild facilities". The post-disaster rhetoric of rebuilding is problematic, as we should …

Planning with Fire: Exploring the Barriers & Opportunities Surrounding Wildfire Fuel Reduction at the Wildland Urban Interface
… climate change and rapidly shifting wildfire regimes heightening wildfire risk across the Pacific Northwest, our research explores fuel reduction as a holistic wildfire mitigation strategy. Using the Methow Valley in Washington State as a case study, we examine the barriers and …

Mapping the landscape of wildfire risk mitigation: understanding the links between equity, community assets, capacities, and collaboration
Wildfire is a natural process that has shaped landscapes for millennia, but its exclusion since Euro-American settlement has had negative effects on forest health and composition, increasing the risk of large, high-severity wildfires. Many communities are grappling with this increased risk, as more …

Standing closest to the flame: Community wildfire planning and the Healthy Forest Act
… encouraging communities to develop community wildfire protection plans (CWPPs) to guide fuel reduction and wildfire mitigation efforts on both federal and nonfederal lands. This research examines U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and community collaboration in the development of CWPPs through a case …

Visualising convective heat transfer in a propagating wildland fire
… prediction of fire behaviour is essential for mitigation strategies and emergency response. While radiative heat transfer has traditionally been emphasized in bushfire modelling, recent studies reveal the significant role of convective heat transfer, especially in fine porous fuels. This thesis …
