The recently established environmental conditions, both natural- and human-induced, have led to a new era of magnified natural risks, where human lives have become the first threatened value to protect, namely from wildfires.
This project addresses the drivers of extreme wildfires and their behaviour in southern Europe, providing an understanding of the interdisciplinary drivers of megafires, quantifying their respective roles (with an emphasis on novel fuel configurations and extreme fire weather conditions), and of their fire behaviour characteristics.
