Fire suppression makes wildfires more severe and accentuates impacts of climate change and fuel accumulation
Fire suppression is the primary management response to wildfires in many areas globally. By removing less-extreme wildfires, this approach ensures...
-
Forest Fire Localization: From Reinforcement Learning Exploration to a Dynamic Drone Control
Globalization impacts directly pollution, and one of the side effects is the increasing number of forest fires and their fast propagation. To reduce...
