    • First estimation of CH4fluxes using the222Rn Tracer Method over the central Iberian Peninsula 

      Grossi, Claudia; Vogel, Felix; Morguí, Josep Anton; Curcoll Masanes, Roger; Agueda Costafreda, Alba; Batet Torrell, Óscar; Nofuentes, Manel; Occhipinti, Paola; Vargas Drechsler, Arturo; Rodó, Xavier (WIT Press, 2014)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Emissions of CH4 over the central Iberian Peninsula have been estimated experimentally for the first time using the Radon Tracer Method (RTM), which uses the atmospheric noble radioactive gas 222Rn as an auxiliary tracer. ...

      Mesa Gómez, Adriana María; Casal Fàbrega, Joaquim; Muñoz Giraldo, Felipe (2019)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Los eventos naturales como huracanes, relámpagos, inundaciones, terremotos o deslizamientos de tierra, entre otros, pueden afectar instalaciones de proceso originando la pérdida de contención de materiales peligrosos. A ...

    • Performance analysis of a self-protection system for vehicles in case of WUI fire entrapment 

      Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Sebastià, Joan; Mata Miquel, Cristian; Agueda Costafreda, Alba; Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2019)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Sheltering inside a civilian vehicle has proved to be a high risk strategy in case of wildfire entrapment. Survival is by no means guaranteed, especially in moderate to high-intensity wildfires. However, vehicles do offer ...

    • Computing wildfire behaviour metrics from CFD simulation data 

      Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Mata, Christian; Rios Rubiras, Oriol; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia; Parsons, Russell (International Association of Wildland Fire, 2019)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      In this article, we demonstrate a new post-processing methodology which can be used to analyse CFD wildfire simulation outputs in a model-independent manner. CFD models produce a great deal of quantitative output but require ...

    • Una nueva herramienta para el diseño de los tratamientos de combustible en la interfaz urbano-forestal 

      Muñoz Navarro, Juan Antonio; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2020)
      Conference lecture
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      La Interfaz Urbano-Forestal (IUF) constituye uno de los escenarios de mayor riesgo en incendios forestales. Esto se debe –entre otros importantes factores –al aumento en la complejidad de la emergencia, el incremento de ...

    • Risk analysis of LPG tanks at the wildland-urban interface: are regulated safety distances large enough? 

      Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Caballero, David; Martín, Jesús; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2018)

    • On the use of compact thermal cameras for quantitative wildfire monitoring 

      Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Jimenez, Daniel; Butler, Bret W.; Mata Miquel, Cristian; Rios Rubiras, Oriol; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2018)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      In recent times, there have been significant developments in remote sensing techniques applied to forest fire research. In particular, infrared (IR) imagery has proved effective to measure variables such as rate of spread, ...

    • Management of an infrared imaging system for wildfire monitoring 

      Mata Miquel, Cristian; Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2018)
      Conference lecture
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      In this work, we present our system architecture developed to manage and pre- and post-process TIR (thermal infrared) imagery for wildfire applications. It is mainly composed of an acquisition module, a preprocessing unit ...

    • GIS-based integration of spatial and remote sensing data for wildfire monitoring 

      Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Rios, Oriol; Mata Miquel, Cristian; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2018)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The impact of wildfires on society is increasing. Annually burned area, fire season length and fire severity have increased during the last decade in several regions of the world, and a number of tragic events have occurred ...

    • Infrared imaging software for jet fire analysis 

      Mata Miquel, Cristian; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Rengel Darnaculleta, Francisco de Borja; Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia; Palacios, Adriana; Casal Fàbrega, Joaquim (2018)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Jet fires, often originated by the ignition of hydrocarbon sonic jets, are characterized by a high momentum jet flame lifted from the outlet orifice. The high thermal flux released, especially if there is flames impingement ...

    • Assessment of the predictive capabilities of different modelling tools to forecast fire effects in residential compartments 

      Rengel Darnaculleta, Francisco de Borja; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia; Bartolomé, Albert; Mata Miquel, Cristian; Rios Rubiras, Oriol (Universidad de Cantabria, 2017)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Residential occupancies are the most common type of buildings where compartment fires occur. In order to provide fire protection in these occupancies and thus to significantly reduce the number of future victims, the ...

    • Flame filtering and perimeter localization of wildfires using aerial thermal imagery 

      Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Verstockt, Steven; Rios, Oriol; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Vandecasteele, Florian; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2017)
