Managing and preventing wildfires is challenging, because many factors contribute to their ignition and spread and as such, the phenomenon is not fully understood. In this workshop, we aim to initiate an exchange between the fire ecology and the applied mathematics communities in the hope to identify current challenges that can be addressed through mathematical modelling.For online participation, we will send a link to registered participants. If you would like to join the workshop, please contact Ilhan Özgen-Xian via email.
