Wildfires are a global crisis, but current fire models fail to capture vegetation response to
changing climate. With drought and elevated temperature increasing the importance of …

Wildfire activity is expected to increase across the Mediterranean Basin because of climate
change. However, the effects of future climate change on the combinations of atmospheric …

Height and intensity information derived from Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) was used to
obtain a quantitative vertical stratification of vegetation in a multi-layered Mediterranean …

Modeling the behavior of crown fires is challenging due to the complex set of coupled
processes that drive the characteristics of a spreading wildfire and the large range of spatial and …
