Call for Papers
- 7th Fire Behaviour and Fuels Conference Collection
- Establishing Directions in Postfire Debris-Flow Science
- Wildland Fire Canada Conference Collection
The 7th Fire Behaviour and Fuels Conference took place in April 2024. The conference was an enormous success and has led to so many positive exchanges over the past months.
The diversity of subjects discussed across the three venues in Canberra, Boise and Tralee seems to be one factor that made the conference special. The breadth of research and experiential learning expressed in conference papers was enormous.
The were 400 plus presentations from peat fires, cultural perspectives and joint management, community engagement, ecological recovery, and the impact of war on fire management as well as the 'bread and butter' innovations in fire behaviour and fuel management.
The IAWF has decided to capture some of this engagement and publish a Special Collection of the International Journal of Wildland Fire capturing some of the content of the conference. We invite you to submit a written version of your conference paper to the Special Collection. To acknowledge your contribution to both the conference and the collection, each author of an accepted paper in the collection will receive a 40% discount on their Author Processing Charge. Before claiming this discount, please check your eligibility under Read and Publish deals (More information: CSIRO PUBLISHING).
IJWF is looking to publish papers from presentations at the 7th Fire Behaviour and Fuels Conference. Papers should be no more than 5000 words (Dependent on Paper Type. More Information: CSIRO PUBLISHING) and submitted through the ScholarOne Submission Portal.
All papers will be peer-reviewed consistent with the journal’s publication standards.
Submission deadline: December 2024
The science of post-wildfire debris flows has evolved rapidly over the past few decades as wildfires have become more frequent, larger, and more severe, impacting human health and the developed landscape. Post-wildfire debris flow science encompasses a wide variety of fields, including hydrology, geomorphology, engineering, remote sensing, atmospheric science, ecology, and data science. This special issue is intended to bring together a diverse set of publications that advance postfire debris flow science, focusing on future directions. We are particularly interested in cross-disciplinary approaches, modeling studies, and field studies that highlight new work that fills in gaps in postfire debris flow knowledge.
All submissions are to be made through the ScholarOne submission portal and should comply with the Publishing Policies as listed on the International Journal of Wildland Fire website.
Submission Deadline: 31 March 2025
A Special Collection on Wildland Fire Management and Ecology in Canada
We are pleased to invite submissions for a special collection of papers based on the Wildland Fire Canada Conference (WFCC). This special collection aims to showcase the latest advancements, research findings, and best practices discussed during the biennial WFCC, which brings together wildland fire management agencies, partners, and collaborators from across Canada and beyond.
The conference highlights Canada's unique diversity of fire-prone environments and provides a neutral forum for the exchange of knowledge and innovations. We are particularly interested in papers that focus on:
- Wildland Fire Management: Innovative approaches to managing wildland fires, including prevention, mitigation, and suppression techniques.
- Wildland Fire Ecology: Ecological impacts of wildland fires on Canadian landscapes, biodiversity, and ecosystem recovery.
- Wildland Fire Science: New research findings that deepen the understanding of fire behavior, fire-weather interactions, and long-term fire effects in fire-prone environments.
We encourage contributions from both wildland fire scientists and practitioners that present lessons learned, research results, and insights into managing wildland fire challenges and opportunities.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should include original research, case studies, or reviews that align with the themes of the WFCC. All submissions will undergo peer review to ensure the highest quality and relevance to the collection.
Please follow the journal’s standard guidelines for manuscript preparation and submission (https://www.publish.csiro.au/wf/forauthors/AuthorInstructions).
As a thank you for choosing to publish your research in this collection, the International Journal of Wildland Fire is pleased to offer a 20% discount on all APC costs associated with publishing in the collection (https://www.publish.csiro.au/wf/forauthors/PublishingCharges).
Submission Deadline: 31st of April, 2025
