WILDLAND FIRE BEHAVIOUR Jason M Forthofer, Torben P Grumstrup and Sara S McAllister
POO, SPEW AND OTHER GROSS THINGS ANIMALS DO! Romane Cristescu and Nicole Gill
A detailed introduction to what is known and unknown about wildfire spread. It approaches wildland fire behaviour as the product of a dynamical system and summarises methods for studying fire behaviours at laboratory and field-scales.
This book will show you how being gross isn’t just hilarious — it can be an important survival strategy for animals all over the world. Take a deep breath, and dive deep into the world of poo, spew and other gross things animals do to make a living.
• Approaches wildland fire behaviour as the product of a dynamical system rather than as a steady-state property of fuels, topography and weather.
• Shows how gross, but fascinating, behaviours can be essential for animals to live.
• Introduces and applies the physical principles of heat transfer, combustion and ignition to the wildland fire context. • Explores dynamical fire behaviours using a simplified model of wildfire spread.
