WildFiresUA review: emission factors for wildfire smoke. Andreae 2019 vs Akagi 2011, GFED4, FINN, boreal vs tropical vs peat vs wartime residue.
How climate change is rewriting the Ukrainian fire regime: VPD, lightning, CMIP6 projections to 2050, Polissia peatlands, and the consequences of the Kakhovka dam collapse.
WildFiresUA review: why coupled fire-atmosphere models (WRF-Fire, CAWFE, MesoNH-ForeFire) matter for pyroconvective fires. Physics, validation, compute cost.
WildFiresUA review: Rothermel 1972, FARSITE, ELMFIRE, FOFEM, CAWFE, MesoNH-ForeFire, SPARK, FireDST, PROMETHEUS — physics, computation, operational deployments.
Wildfire-tech startups raised $350-400M between 2024 and 2026, yet most have no peer-reviewed output. How YourAirTest builds defensibility through scientific publication: from CJFR 2026 to ESSD, ACP, ERL, and Fire.
A technical review of the satellite wildfire-detection stack: VIIRS 375 m, Sentinel-3 SLSTR with the F1 channel to 450+ K, geostationary 5-15 min cadence, and FIRMS NRT at 3-4 hours.
749,500 ha burned in 2022, 965,000 ha in 2024 — more than the whole EU combined. 20,000+ military-context fires. Kremenchuk, Kakhovka, Chornobyl, Azovstal — a scientific resource that cannot be reproduced.
Zaporizhzhia faces a chronic risk from its steel industry (Zaporizhstal, Dniprospetsstal) and a potential risk from the occupied ZNPP 50 km away. Two monitoring systems, one city.
