Basic Data – Welcome
Welcome
As Chairman of the VIII International Conference on Forest Fire Research, on behalf of the Organizing
Committee I welcome all of you to Coimbra and thank you for having chosen to participate in the
Conference or in its related events. I wish that your stay in Portugal and in Coimbra will be a pleasant and
fruitful experience for all of you and your accompanying persons both in personal and in professional
terms. This eight edition of the Conference is held again in Coimbra at a different place from our previous
two events. We expect that you will appreciate the very good conditions provided by the Congress Center
of the Bissaya Barreto Foundation to bring together the international community that is actively working
to better understand and manage forest fires.
We are proud that the initiative that we started twenty-eight years ago as a service to the scientific
community has established itself in the international field as a reference meeting for all those that are
involved in the research and management of forest fires.
The scientific community dedicated to forest fires has grown during the past years both in size and
diversity and more and more countries are creating their own research programs on forest fires. Recent
years have witnessed a greater collaboration between the forest fire and the structural fire communities,
which we are dedicated to promote. We hope that this Conference will contribute to foster this
collaboration even more as it is certainly of mutual interest.
Following the open approach to the problem of fire research that we adopted since our first Conference
in 1990 we accepted paper submissions on all topics that brought an original insight to some aspect of fires.
The almost 300 submissions that we received were evaluated by an international Scientific Committee
coordinated by Dr. Michael Flannigan, from Canada. From these papers 208 were accepted for oral
presentation and 43 were accepted for poster presentation while the remaining were either rejected or
dropped by their authors. In spite of the new specialized fields of research that have appeared during the
past years we maintained the organization of the sessions of the Conference around the 6 major themes,
each with several topics: Fire Risk Management, Fuel Management, Fire Management, Fire at the Wildland
Urban Interface, Decision Support Systems and Tools and Socio-Economic Issues.
There will be 7 keynote lectures by outstanding invited speakers.
We will have the opportunity to visit our Forest Fire Research Laboratory in Lousã on the afternoon of
the 14th November.
In this year the poster sessions will involve again the attribution of prizes for the best posters.
Before the Conference we will held Short Courses on Fire Safety and on Fire Behaviour that are
coordinated respectively by Dr. Bret Butler and by Dr. Albert Simeoni.

Basic Data – Welcome
After the Conference on the 16th November, our Study Tour will allow us to visit the areas that were
affected by the very bad fires that Portugal suffered in June and in October 2017.
I wish to express our gratitude to all the authors and speakers who chose this event to present their latest
findings and to share their knowledge with all the other participants and, through the E-Book of the
Conference, with the wider scientific community.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee I thank to all the institutions and persons that supported the
preparation of this Conference with their work, with funding and by the honour that they gave us accepting
our invitation to integrate the Honorary Committee of the Conference.
I would like to express my personal thanks to the members of the Scientific Committee, the Organizing
Committee and in particular to the Local Organizing Committee that with their dedicated work made this
event possible. A special word of thanks is due to my Co-chairman, Luís Mário Ribeiro, who carried most
of the burden of putting this Conference together.
My final thanks go to my Family for their support and understanding during the months of preparation
that this Conference took.

Dr. Jack Cohen has been involved in wildland fire research since 1972 and
a US Forest Service fire research scientist since 1976 at laboratories in
Missoula, MT, Riverside, CA and Macon, GA. He co-developed the U.S.
National Fire Danger Rating System, conducted research on live fuel fire
behavior in southern California chaparral, developed the FIRECAST fire
behavior prediction system, and served on wildfire suppression teams as a fire
behavior analyst (1976 – 1987). Dr. Cohen has been interested in understanding
the wildland-urban (WU) fire problem since the 1970s, but formally started his
research on how structures ignite during wildfires in 1989. Using computational
modeling, laboratory and field experiments, and WU fire disaster
investigations, he identified the limited area that principally determines
structure ignition potential during extreme wildfires and created the home
ignition zone (HIZ).
He has applied this understanding to create the National Fire Protection Association’s “Assessing Structure
Ignition Potential from Wildfire” training and Firewise USA program. Dr. Cohen retired from the US Forest Service
in 2016 but continues his involvement in developing effective methods for preventing WU fire disasters.
Justin Leonard is Research Leader in Bushfire Urban Design at CSIRO.
He has dedicated his research career to how bushfire risk to life and
infrastructure can be understood and managed. This research combines
learnings from bushfire exposure experiments with post bushfire survey
investigations and computer modelling.
His most recent activities include the development of accreditations course
on bushfire risk assessment and urban design with the Melbourne University,
supporting the Victorian Bushfire Community Refuge Pilot Program,
development of a risk assessment framework for Victorian Schools, fire fighter
vehicle defence system development and testing, global bushfire hazard
mapping for the World Bank and bushfire risk planning maps for Queensland.
Rachel Bessell has worked in fire and emergency management since 2005,
working in the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland and abroad
in Timor-Leste. She is currently Acting Manager of Bushfire Research and
Development at the Country Fire Authority, and has been part of the team for

Department Head of Fire Protection Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic
Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts. He has more than 20 years of experience
developing experimental, analytical, and numerical techniques to better
understand fire dynamics and to predict fire behavior. Before joining WPI, he
held academic leadership positions in fire research in the UK (University of
Edinburgh) and in France (University of Corsica). He has also experience as a
consultant in fire science in the US and has spent over 10 years volunteering and
working as a firefighter in France.
Dominique Morvan is Professor and Director of Department of Mechanics at
Aix-Marseille University (AMU, France). His expertise covers a large scientific
spectra in biomechanics, heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, turbulence,
combustion, applied mathematics and computational fluid mechanics. During the
last 20 years, he has developed researches in fires physics and wildfire modeling
using a multiphase approach. He is also associate editor of the International
Journal of Wildland Fire.
Eulàlia Planas, PhD, Associate Professor at the chemical engineering
Department of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Head of the
Centre for Technological Risk Studies (CERTEC) and Deputy Director for
Quality and Social Responsibility of the Engineering School of East Barcelona
(EEBE). Academic Coordinator of the Master’s program on Fire Safety
Engineering and Civil Protection of the UPC School of Professional
Development. Her main research lines are the study of hydrocarbon pool-fires;
the mathematical modelling of major accidents; risk analysis in the transportation
of hazardous materials; and the study of wildfires. In the field of wildfire research,
she has developed infrared image processing systems to quantify fire progression
(rate of spread, fire intensity, and flame geometry) and aerial fire attack
effectiveness. Currently she is working on providing systems to deliver fire
behaviour forecasts for decision making, based on data assimilation and inverse

modelling. She also develops methodologies based on CFD modelling to study
the effects of burning residential fuels on structures, relying on performance-
based criteria to assess houses vulnerability and sheltering capacity. Prof. Planas
also get involved extensively on experimental fire research.
Dr. Jack Cohen has been involved in wildland fire research since 1972 and a US
Forest Service fire research scientist since 1976 at laboratories in Missoula, MT,
Riverside, CA and Macon, GA. He co-developed the U.S. National Fire Danger
Rating System, conducted research on live fuel fire behavior in southern
California chaparral, developed the FIRECAST fire behavior prediction system,
and served on wildfire suppression teams as a fire behavior analyst (1976 – 1987).
Dr. Cohen has been interested in understanding the wildland-urban (WU) fire
problem since the 1970s, but formally started his research on how structures ignite
during wildfires in 1989. Using computational modeling, laboratory and field
experiments, and WU fire disaster investigations, he identified the limited area
that principally determines structure ignition potential during extreme wildfires
and created the home ignition zone (HIZ). He has applied this understanding to
create the National Fire Protection Association’s “Assessing Structure Ignition
Potential from Wildfire” training and Firewise USA program. Dr. Cohen retired
from the US Forest Service in 2016 but continues his involvement in developing
effective methods for preventing WU fire disasters.
Jason Sharples is Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at the University
of New South Wales, and is a Fellow of the Australia and New Zealand Modelling
and Simulation Society. He is part of the Applied and Industrial Mathematics
Research Group and the Computational Science Initiative in the School of
Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences at UNSW Canberra, where
he specialises in combustion and bushfire dynamics modelling and simulation.
Jason has lead a number of research projects that consider extreme and dynamic
fire behaviour, the development of large conflagrations and bushfire risk
management. He is also an Advanced Firefighter with the ACT Rural Fire
Service.
Dr. Miguel Cruz is a Principal Research Scientist with the CSIRO Bushfire
Behaviour and Risks team. Miguels’s work focus on understanding wildland fire
behaviour through field experimental and modelling approaches. His work in the
past included quantifying (1) the onset and spread of crown fire propagation in
conifer forests, and (2) the effect of fuel load and curing level on grassfire
behaviour. Other key research interests include fuel characterization and
development of a fuel classification scheme for Australian fuel types. Miguel
work has a strong applied component. He contributed to the use of fire behaviour
modelling tools to forecast fire propagation in ongoing fires by: developing
applied models, developing components of the training curriculum and delivering
tech-transfer to fire organizations.

Rodman Linn is a Senior Scientist in the Environmental Sciences Division at
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the United States. He is the principle
investigator/developer for a physic’s-based wildfire model utilizing
computational fluid dynamics techniques, FIRETEC, and is the project leader for
the wildfire research at LANL. His current wildfire research work is primarily
focused on coupled fire/atmosphere behavior in both idealized and complex
scenarios. Rodman also contributes to research in the areas of urban fires, wind
energy, dispersion and canopy/atmosphere interaction and teaches classes in
mechanics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics and mechanics of material as an adjunct
professor at the Los Alamos Branch of the University of New Mexico.
Dr Rory Hadden is the Rushbrook Senior Lecturer in Fire Investigation a the
University of Edinburgh. His interests covers wildland fuel flammability, fire
spread, and risks posed by firebrands. He has also worked on the smouldering of
natural fuels and biomass emissions. His research includes the development of
new measurement techniques to quantify the phenomena which drive fire
behaviour across length scales. He has experience working at laboratory and field
scales to capture combustion and fire processes to assist in the development of
numerical models to predict fire behaviour.
William (Ruddy) Mell is a combustion engineer with the U.S. Forest Service
who has been involved with computer modeling of wildland fires and wildland-
urban interface (WUI) fires for the past 15 years. Prior to entering the field of
wildland fire he worked in the areas of modeling turbulent combustion,
microgravity combustion, and structure fires at the U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST). His model development work occurs in close
collaboration with experimentalists and modelers at the U.S. Forest Service,
NIST, and academia. His current focus is on the development and testing of the
wildland-urban interface fire dynamics simulator suite (WFDS). The objective of
these models, and results from field and laboratory work, is to provide better tools
for wildland and WUI fire researchers and guidelines for WUI homeowners,
communities, and fire officials for risk assessment and mitigation.
