GAS FIRES.

The Fires

Qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses presented in this article suggest that the massive fires caused by the crash of the planes into the World Trade Center Towers and the spillage of large amounts of jet fuel inside the buildings played a major role in their quick collapse on September 11, 2001. It is argued that the WTC fires, while unprecedented in form, magnitude and extent, resembled ...

Evaluating greenhouse gas emissions inventories for agricultural burning using satellite observations of active fires.

Fires in agricultural ecosystems emit greenhouse gases and aerosols that influence climate on multiple spatial and temporal scales. Annex 1 countries of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), many of which ratified the Kyoto Protocol, are required to report emissions of CH4 and N2O from these fires annually. In this study, we evaluated several aspects of this report...

Abating greenhouse gas emissions through strategic management of savanna fires: opportunities and challenges – Northern Territory

SUMMARY In the Northern Territory, savanna fires are the major single source of greenhouse gas emissions. A privately-funded project involving strategic fire management has shown that it is possible to mitigate emissions from fire, with social, economic and other environmental benefits. This case study discusses the implications of having savanna fire abatement projects recognised as offsets wi...
