From fireworks to woodburning to modeling fire behavior, Jenna Sjunneson McDanold’s love of fire has fueled her growth as an artist and a mathematician. As part of her studies as mathematical modeling ...

A new conceptual framework for incorporating the way plants use carbon and water, or plant dynamics, into fine-scale computer models of wildland fire provides a critical first step toward improved ...

The Bridger Foothills (Montana, USA) wildfire event was notable due to its rapid escalation in fire activity, unique fire spread with respect to terrain and ambient wind direction, and endangerment to ...

DAVIS. THANK YOU. AND WHEN BATTLING LARGE WILDFIRES, CREWS NEED ALL THE RELIABLE INFORMATION THEY CAN GET. THEY CERTAINLY DO. FIRE GROWTH MODELS CAN BE A GOOD TOOL FOR MAKING DECISIONS. METEOROLOGIST ...

The committee will examine how research on experimental fires can be improved to strengthen fire and smoke models for prescribed burns. The committee will: Identify relevant agency research projects ...

Fire spread models (FSMs) are used to reproduce fire behavior and can simulate fire propagation over landscapes. As wildfires have emerged into a global phenomenon with far-reaching impacts on the ...
