Modeling Wildfire Incident Complexity Dynamics
Wildfire management in the United States and elsewhere is challenged by substantial uncertainty regarding the location and timing of fire events, the socioeconomic and ecological consequences of these events, and the costs of suppression. Escalating U.S. Forest Service suppression expenditures is of particular concern at a time of fiscal austerity as swelling fire management budgets lead to dec...
متن کاملModeling Food-Web Dynamics: Complexity-Stability Implications
We discuss theoretical aspects of the broader food-web research agenda, particularly the background and various approaches used for modeling food-web dynamics in abstract systems with more than two taxa. Much of this type of modeling has oriented itself around the classic and enduring complexity-stability debate in ecology, especially those aspects which relate to the theoretical and associated...
متن کاملModelling Wildfire Dynamics via Interacting Automata
The modelling of wildland fire spread across a heterogeneous landscape is significant because fire dynamics are sensitive to local spatial characteristics. The development of accurate fire models and simulations is important due to the economical and social losses wildland fire can cause and the resulting need to better understand, predict, and contain fire spread. We present a methodology for ...
متن کاملWildfire Emission Modeling: Integrating BlueSky and SMOKE
Atmospheric chemical transport models are used to simulate historic meteorological episodes for developing air quality management strategies. Wildland fire emissions need to be characterized accurately to achieve these air quality management goals. The temporal and spatial estimates of emissions from fires, both wild and prescribed, have been problematic primarily because of uncertainty in the ...
متن کاملSanta Fe on Fire: Agent-based Modeling of Wildfire Evacuation Dynamics
This paper reviews a recent RedfishGroup project for the City of Santa Fe Fire and Police Department integrating wildfire simulation and agent-based modeling of traffic dynamics. Visualizations of the evacuation dynamics were used to communicate with citizens dangers faced during evacuations and to explore when shelter-in-place is a reasonable alternative to evacuation. Additional uses of the m...
