Defining Extreme Wildfire Events: Difficulties, Challenges, and Impacts

Fantina Tedim, Vittorio Leone, Malik Amraoui et al. · 25 Feb 2018

Every year worldwide some extraordinary wildfires occur, overwhelming suppression capabilities, causing substantial damages, and often resulting in fatalities. Given their increasing frequency, there is a debate about how to address these wildfires with significant social impacts, but there is no agreement upon terminology to describe them.

Prescribed fire is one of the most widely advocated management practices for reducing wildfire hazard and has a long and rich tradition rooted in indigenous and local ecological knowledge. The scientific literature has repeatedly reported that prescribed fire is often the most effective means of achieving such goals by reducing fuels and wildfire hazard and…

Spatial Prediction of Wildfire Susceptibility Using Field Survey GPS Data and Machine Learning Approaches

Omid Ghorbanzadeh, Khalil Valizadeh Kamran, Thomas Blaschke et al. · 28 Jul 2019

Recently, global climate change discussions have become more prominent, and forests are considered as the ecosystems most at risk by the consequences of climate change. Wildfires are among one of the main drivers leading to losses in forested areas. The increasing availability of free remotely sensed data has enabled the precise locations of wildfires to…

Forest Fire Susceptibility and Risk Mapping Using Social/Infrastructural Vulnerability and Environmental Variables

It is believed, but not proven, that this growth can be attributed to the increasing temperatures and droughts. In general, the vulnerability to forest fire depends on infrastructural and social factors whereby the…

The 2017 North Bay and Southern California Fires: A Case Study

Nicholas J. Nauslar, John T. Abatzoglou, Patrick T. Marsh · 9 Jun 2018

Two extreme wind-driven wildfire events impacted California in late 2017, leading to 46 fatalities and thousands of structures lost. This study characterizes the meteorological and climatological factors that drove and enabled these wildfire events and quantifies their rarity over the observational record. Both events featured key fire-weather metrics that were unprecedented in the observational record…
