    Sammanfattning : During recent history, Sweden has experienced several resource-intensive crises. For example, the Västmanland wildfire in 2014 and latest the Covid-19 pandemic. During these crises, those who were managing the crisis incurred a shortage of supplies. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Testing macroscopic traffic evacuation models for wildland-urban interface fires

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Författare :Adam Ardinge; [2021]
    Nyckelord :WUI-NITY; WUI; V V; traffic evacuation; WUI fire evacuation; simulation model; verification testing; validation testing; Kincade; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the verification and validation testing performed on the evacuation simulation platform WUI-NITY which has the aim of being a simulation tool for the integration of different layers, such as pedestrian, traffic and wildfire with evolving dynamic interactions. The present thesis aims at applying a set of verification tests and validation testing suitable for WUI-NITY with a focus on the traffic component. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Established forest firefighting techniques: A qualitative review of practices among the Swedish fire services.

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Författare :Muhammad Humza Khan; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Forest fires; firefighting techniques; Scientometric analysis; Effectiveness; Questionnaire; Direct attack; Indirect attack; Firelines; Prescribed burning; Aerial firefighting; Flanking; Hot-spotting; Cold trailing.; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Methods and equipment used for fighting forest fires are different from the ones used in urban fires. Generally, the wildfires are intense, require more resources and tend to spread rapidly. LÄS MER

  5. 29. The Susceptibility of the Circumpolar North to Zombie Wildfire : An Exploratory Case Study of Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Miljövetenskap

    Författare :Stephanie Louise Hurst; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Wildfire; zombie fire; overwintering; holdover; carbon cycle; climate change; Circumpolar North; Sweden; Skogsbrand; zombiebrand; övervintrande; kolcykel; klimatförändring; Cirkumpolär Norr; Sverige;

    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.

  7. 30. Transaktionskostnader, skogsbränder och offentlig upphandling : Hur kan skogsbrandsberedskapen upphandlas mer effektivt?

    Magister-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Författare :Gustav Stynsberg; [2021]
    Nyckelord :transaktionskostnad; skogsbrand; offentlig upphandling; helikopter; komparativ analys;

    Sammanfattning : Skogsbrandsberedskap är en kollektiv vara och har alltid levererats av statliga, regionala eller kommunala aktörer. Effektiviteten hos dessa har på senare år satts på prov då den globala uppvärmningen har gett upphov till fler skogsbränder som har härjat runt om i Sverige. LÄS MER
