Development of Coarse-scale Spatial Data for Wildland Fire and Fuel Management


Book Description

The objective of this study was to provide managers with national-level data on current conditions of vegetation and fuels developed from ecologically based methods to address these questions: How do current vegetation and fuels differ from those that existed historically? Where on the landscape do vegetation and fuels differ from historical levels? In particular, where are high fuel accumulations? When considered at a coarse scale, which areas estimated to have high fuel accumulations represent the highest priorities for treatment?

Standard Fire Behavior Fuel Models


Book Description

This report describes a new set of standard fire behavior fuel models for use with Rothermels surface fire spread model and the relationship of the new set to the original set of 13 fire behavior fuel models. To assist with transition to using the new fuel models, a fuel model selection guide, fuel model crosswalk, and set of fuel model photos are provided.




Federal Wildland Fire Management


Book Description

Managing wildland fire in the U.S. is a challenge increasing in complexity & magnitude. The goals & actions presented in this report encourage a proactive approach to wildland fire to reduce its threat. Five major topic areas on the subject are addressed: the role of wildland fire in resource management; the use of wildland fire; preparedness & suppression; wildland/urban interface protection; & coordinated program management. Also presented are the guiding principle that are fundamental to wildland fire management & recommendations for fire management policies. Photos, graphs, & references.




5th International Symposium on High-Temperature Metallurgical Processing


Book Description

The analysis, development, and/or operation of high temperature processes that involve the production of ferrous and nonferrous metals, alloys, and refractory and ceramic materials are covered in the book. The innovative methods for achieving impurity segregation and removal, by-product recovery, waste minimization, and/or energy efficiency are also involved. Eight themes are presented in the book: 1: High Efficiency New Metallurgical Technology 2: Fundamental Research of Metallurgical Process 3: Alloy and Materials Preparation 4: Roasting, Reduction, and Smelting 5: Sintering of Ores and Powder 6: Simulation and Modeling 7: Treatment of Solid Slag/Wastes and Complex Ores 8: Microwave Heating, Energy, and Environment
