Charcoal chemistry : developing a proxy for paleofire regimes.
Wildfires have occurred over geologic time since the evolution of land plants and affect global biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem processes. Charcoal particles in the geological record may contain information on several aspects of paleowildfire regimes. The fire intensity, the energy produced …

Steel, steel/concrete composite and reinforced concrete beams and columns exposed to fire
… columns subjected to a non-linear variation of temperatures in all three directions. The numerical method allows for analysis of a wide variety of cross sections with a number of materials and members with varying cross section along the length. The member can be subjected to any combination of …

Time and probablity of failure of timber framed walls in fire
… to develop models to predict the performance of fire resistant light-timber framed walls, in relation to requirements of new performance-based building fire regulations being introduced around the world. The performance bases that were adopted in the modelling, were time and probability of …

Managing disturbance in the longleaf pine ecosystem: effects of managed fire regime characteristics on fire hazard and community ecology at multiple spatial scales
… ecosystem is adapted to frequent, low-intensity fire, however, naturally occurring fire no longer burns with sufficient frequency to maintain the ecological structure and function necessary to sustain high levels of biological diversity. To compensate, aggressive prescribed fire programs are …

Effects of hurricanes and fires on southeastern savanna-forest landscapes
… Hurricanes and natural lightning-season fires are large-scale, frequent disturbances in southeastern savanna-forest landscapes. Although interactive effects have been proposed, my research is the first to develop and experimentally test mechanistic hypotheses for hurricane-fire …

Up in smoke: biomass burning and atmospheric emissions in the Sudanian savanna of Côte d’Ivoire
… scales in the sudanian savanna of Côte d’Ivoire. Fire is an important management tool in farming and pastoral systems of West Africa. The climate change literature argues that biomass burning is an important source of greenhouse gases, chemically active gases, and aerosols. In addition, climate …

Quantification of the Fire Thermal Boundary Condition
The thermal boundary condition to a fire exposed surface was quantified with a hybrid heat flux gage. Methods were developed to determine the net heat flux through the gage, incident heat flux, cold surface heat flux, convective heat transfer coefficient, adiabatic surface temperature, and the …
