    Sammanfattning : Climate change is warming the North and exposing its immense carbon stores not only to wildfire disturbances, but overwintering, or zombie, fire. These remnants of summer fires can spend months smouldering under the surface, hidden under the protection of layers of snow, burning through immense amounts of carbon, which is then released into the atmosphere, further exacerbating climate change.

  3. 2. The Impact of Climate Change and Man on the Spatial Distribution of Wildfire Events : A GIS and Ranking System Approach

    Magister-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik

    Författare :Stephanie Hurst; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Wildfire; Climate change; GIS; Ranking system; Human risk; skogsbrand; klimatförändringar; GIS; rankingsystem; mänsklig risk;

    Sammanfattning : Wildfire is a destructive and devastating phenomenon experienced all around the world, which is predicted to increase in frequency and geographical range as climate change continues throughout the 21st century and beyond. This paper used a GIS approach to analyse the expected change in wildfire geographical range by 2050 using a Global Climate Model of the worst case scenario. LÄS MER
