Wildland Fire, Smoke, and Health (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

There is an immense lack of general understanding of the scope and advantages offered across various components of the modeling chain, starting with fire detection through emissions modeling, atmospheric transport, and constructing epidemiological models. The great proliferation of methods for each of the components is creating a wild west environment where it becomes increasingly challenging to evaluate the validity of reported results and thus leading to opaque science. Thus, this volume provides a synthesis effort distributed across all components of the modeling chain, which is necessary to build a community with a common understanding of the modeling potential and to promoting further scientific inquiry. Wildland Fire, Smoke, and Health focuses on a synthesis of activities across several disparate disciplines aimed at understanding health outcomes of wildland fire emissions (smoke).

Volume highlights include:

• Synthesis of activities across several disparate disciplines aimed at understanding health outcomes of wildland fire emissions
• Developed by leading experts -- researchers, modelers, practitioners, from several disparate disciplines who have worked across disciplines
• Written to appeal across disciplines, to be accessible outside of an experts basic knowledge field
• Simplistically structured to cover a broad set of related topics, and including in-depth reviews of the state to the art within each topic
• A topic of immediate relevance with some established approaches, but with some mis-information due to the breadth of the subject
• Reference guide for several communities including fire monitoring, emissions modeling, atmospheric transport and spatial epidemiology community
