Advancing Coupled Fire-Atmosphere Simulation: Fuel Representation and Fire Spotting
Wildland fires can lead to substantial ecological, social, and economical losses as well as health burdens due to smoke produced from biomass burning. Accurate wildland fire simulation is an essential capability in predicting and managing these losses, benefiting both pre-fire risk mitigation and …

The burning questions about Hluhluwe : causes and consequences of a severe wildfire
The biophysical drivers of fire; ignition, fire weather conditions, fuel biomass, and flammability, differ in varying ecosystems. The rates of occurrence of these factors influence fire regimes. This study investigated the causes and consequences of a severe wildfire that swept through the Hluhluwe …

Wildfire as Coupled Human Natural System
Wildfire activity has increased in recent years in the United States, endangering both environment and society. Appropriate management of this phenomenon is only achievable with a thorough understanding of the critical factors influencing wildfire activity in each region. In three essays, I use …
