Developing scenarios and strategies to understand, quantify and communicate wildfire risk across Pakistan in a changing climate

Description

Study of wildfire is an increasingly challenging area of environmental science. Analysis of fire events and fire regimes has to consider how fires can be monitored, quantified, and categorized. In particular, the relationship between wildfire and climate is complex, and made increasingly so by anthropogenic (human induced) climate change. Understanding how future fire risk scenarios will unfold in a warmer world is crucial in moving toward better preparedness at national, regional and community levels, particularly in areas where land-use change may exacerbate such risk. This research project will initially use a range of observation- and model-based data to explore the latest trends in fire occurrences and fire-conducive climate across Pakistan, specifically in regions where large-scale afforestation projects will have a substantial influence on future landscapes. The findings will be used to outline potential for new risk communication strategies and forest management
