Fan et al. investigate canyon fire dynamics under varied terrains, revealing critical slope thresholds (α ≥ 27.5°, δ ≥ 20°) for eruptive fire. Strong convective heating ahead of the fire front drives rapid spread, challenging strategies.

Epstein & Seielstad analyse WFDSS text from 6,630 large US wildfires (2011–2023). Barriers appear in 75%—mainly roads, burn scars and fuel variation. Prior fires more often stopped spread than treatments.

Wong et al. show that heat yields in wet sclerophyll fuels vary widely by species and season—especially in live understorey fuels. Fixed values in fire models may overestimate fire intensity.
