Call for Papers
- 7th Fire Behaviour and Fuels Conference Collection
- Establishing Directions in Postfire Debris-Flow Science
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: 31 January 2025
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
