-
Track 1- Wildfire Science, Behaviour, Monitoring and Modelling
Physical and environmental processes that drive wildfire occurrence, behaviour, and spread, alongside methods for prediction, monitoring, and detection.Examples could include;
• Fire behaviour and fire dynamics
• Fire weather and atmospheric interactions
• Fuel characteristics and fuel dynamics
• Fire ignition processes
• Modelling approaches and predictive systems
• Fire detection technologies and early warning systems
• Remote sensing and Earth observation
• Climate-driven changes in fire regimes
• Disturbances and fire behaviour -
Track 2- Impacts of Wildfires
Wildfire impacts on ecosystems and landscapes, including disturbance dynamics, recovery processes, and long-term environmental change under evolving climatic conditions. Examples could include;
• Impacts on ecosystems and ecosystem services
• Landscape-scale fire effects and disturbance dynamics
• Post-fire monitoring of recovery and regeneration processes
• Monitoring of burned landscapes (e.g. effect on hydrology)
• Long-term landscape management strategies
• Disturbance regimes and future forest management
• Biodiversity and habitat resilience
• Climate adaptation in natural systems
• Emissions
• Compounding and Cascading Effects -
Track 3- Fire and Society
Wildfire risk and human systems, including land use, governance, policy, planning, communication, and societal adaptation to increasingly fire-prone environments. Example could include;
• Land-use change and fire-prone landscapes
• Fire History in Central Europe
• Wildfire interactions with infrastructure and recreation
• Risk perception and risk communication
• Governance structures and institutional frameworks
• Policy and economic dimensions of wildfire risk
• Climate adaptation strategies
• Integrated landscape and risk planning
• Cross-border cooperation and coordination
• Comparative international perspectives
• Building community resilience to wildfire risk
• Wildland Urban Interface
