Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Forest Fires (Wit Transactions on Ecology and the Environment)
$326.00
At present there is insufficient knowledge of the behavior of fires and how they propagate. This lack of
information makes it very hard to control these phenomena and is one of the biggest obstacles to the development of a reliable decision support system. Public concern regarding this topic is increasing as uncontrolled fires may lead to major ecological disasters, and usually result in negative economic and health
implications for the region.
information makes it very hard to control these phenomena and is one of the biggest obstacles to the development of a reliable decision support system. Public concern regarding this topic is increasing as uncontrolled fires may lead to major ecological disasters, and usually result in negative economic and health
implications for the region.
Containing papers presented at the First International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Forest Fires, this book addresses the latest research and applications of available computational tools to analyze and predict the spread of forest fires in order to prevent or reduce major loss of life and property
as well as damage to the environment. Such tools must be able to take into consideration a large number of different parameters. The book thus deals with all aspects of forest fires, from fire propagation in different scenarios to the optimum strategies for
fire-fighting. It also covers issues related to economic, ecological,
social and health effects.
