Call for Papers

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.

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
