  1. 1. Where there is road, there is fire (influence): An exploratory study on the influence of roads in the spatial patterns of Swedish wildfires of 2018

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Gabriel Romeo Ferriols Pavico; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Wildfire; Fire Spatial Patterns; Road; Conformity; FWI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires.

  3. 2. Near-Real Time Forest Fire Monitoring System From an UAV

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :August Näsman; Daniel Nedlich; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to implement a payload system on a drone to help fire towers in near-realtime survey forests for wildfires. The payload system should be able to communicate with a groundstation through a mobile network and the survey should be tagged with relevant metadata. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Metaforer och skogsbränder - En studie om hur metaforer i nyhetsmedia påverkar läsarens uppfattning om skogsbränder

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Hanna Dagsgård; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Risk Perception; disaster response; crisis communication; framing effects; forest fires; wildfires; metaphors; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Wildfires are increasing in frequency and severity, and the media often uses metaphors to describe and dramatize these events. Metaphors are a key part of how society communicates and can strongly influence perception. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Nature representation in forest fire management in Jämtland, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Swenja Dorn; [2023]
    Nyckelord :nature; representation; nature representation; forest fire management;

    Sammanfattning : With a globally increasing mean temperature and drier summers in Europe, forest fires are becoming a wider known issue in the forest landscape. Having been part of the boreal forest landscape for millennia, their influence becomes more pronounced due to these changes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Differences and similarities in stand characteristics after prescribed burning and wildfire : implications for conservation of forest biodiversity

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Hannah Sophie Jakob; [2023]
    Nyckelord :coarse woody debris; conservation; biodiversity; boreal forest; Daldinia loculata; Fennoscandia; prescribed burning; regeneration; wildfire; woodpecker;

    Sammanfattning : 1. Wildfires are a natural disturbance in the boreal forests of Fennoscandia and have shaped and formed forests in the past, resulting in very heterogeneous forests containing large amounts of dead and living trees in various age classes. LÄS MER
