Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleForest Fires and Resuspension of Radionuclides into the AtmosphereFernando P. Carvalho, Joao M. Oliveira, Margarida MaltaProblem statement: Forest fires are especially frequent around the Mediterranean Sea basin in the summer period and might be able to release naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides from plant biomass and inject them into the atmosphere. The impact of this radioactivity on populations was not investigated before. Approach: Radionuclide analysis was performed in plants, in smoke from plant burning and in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLand Cover Changes from Forest Fires Using CA-Markov in Pelalawan, IndonesiaApri Zulmi Hardi, Abdulkader Ali MuradForest and land fires pose significant risks to ecosystems, particularly in Pelalawan Regency, Indonesia, where slash-and-burn practices during the dry season exacerbate peatland degradation. This study integrates Cellular Automata (CA) and Markov-chain analysis to model and predict land cover changes and carbon stock dynamics over the next 20 years. The model projects spatial patterns of land cover changes from 2002-2033 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2024 · 4,874 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNASA Satellites Help us to Quickly Detect Forest FiresRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh et al.The main idea is that, as the forests of the planet are getting smaller, too much wood is cut and the forests are made too slow, there are also large forest fires due to excessive heat, of people arguing with the law, or simply by chance. Extinguishing fires are generally difficult, interventions being difficult anyway due to the increased fire, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClassification Model for Hotspot Occurrences Using Spatial Decision Tree AlgorithmImas Sukaesih Sitanggang, Razali Yaakob, Norwati Mustapha, A. N. AinuddinDeveloping a predictive model for forest fires occurrence is an important activity in a fire prevention program. The model describes characteristics of areas where fires occur based on past fires data. It is essential as an early warning system for preventing forest fires, thus major damages because of fires can be avoided. This study describes the application of data mining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2013 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDaily distribution Map of Ozone (O3) from AIRS over Southeast AsiaJasim M. Rajab, M.Z. MatJafri, H.S. Lim, K. AbdullahProblem statement: Daily retrieved Ozone (O3) column data for 12 day for periods varying (11-18 August) 2005 and 2003 and (12-19 February) 2005, obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder AIRS, are utilized to investigate the ozone distribution over the Southeast Asia. Approach: AIRS included on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua satellite launched on 4 May 2002. Ozone (O3) is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsActive Fire Monitoring with Level 1.5 MSG Satellite ImagesAbdelatif Hassini, Farid Benabdelouahed, Noureddine Benabadji, Ahmed Hafid BelbachirThe first of the new generation of Meteosat satellites, known as Meteosat Second Generation (MSG-1), was launched in August 2002. As with the current Meteosat series, MSG is spin-stabilized and capable of greatly enhanced Earth observations. The satellite’s 12-channel imager, known formally as the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI), observes the full disk of the Earth with an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
