Can you imagine that the firebrands can accelerate the smoldering spread during a peatland fire despite the construction of the firebreak (or canal)? See our latest paper published in IJWF (doi.org/10.1071/WF23116). Michael Gollner Xinyan IAWF Berkeley Mechanical Engineering

Students and I had a fun day filming for an upcoming television series on wildfires in the lab today. Smoke, embers, and fire whirls! (sorry I didn’t snag a photo of the whirl this time!)

Thanks everyone for making this achievement possible.

Operations for our UC Berkeley led experiment: Material Ignition and Spread Test (MIST) have begun onboard the ISS National Lab! We are testing the flammability of materials in microgravity with NASA's Glenn Research Center. Read more about our experiments: www1.grc.nasa.gov/space/iss-rese… @UCBspacecenter

We encounter wildfire even as tourists on top of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong!

The International Fire Safety Consortium led development of an amazing resource many don't know about: a wildfire webinar series produced in coordination with @ULFSRI. 15 weeks worth of lectures are posted covering the field. A great resource! buff.ly/4cHYGun

New publication out on the Smoldering ignition and transition to flaming in wooden mulch beds exposed to firebrands under wind in the Fire Safety Journal. First in a series of work where we investigated the flammability of wooden mulches in California. doi.org/10.1016/j.fire…

At the welcome reception of #40thISOC, I had the honor of receiving Bernard Lewis Fellowship from The Combustion Institute. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my postdoctoral and PhD advisers (Michael Gollner, Carlos Fernandez-Pello, and Xinyan) for their unwavering support.

Today, #TheCombustionInstitute recognizes the second of four Gold Medal winners honored at the #40thISOC in Milan. Learn more about the 2024 #AlfredCEgertonGoldMedal recipient, A. Carlos Fernandez-Pello of UC Berkeley: combustioninstitute.org/news/a-carlos-… Congratulations! #Combustion

I am immensely proud of seeing my PhD supervisor and friend, Prof Carlos Fernandez-Pello, being celebrated for his outstanding contributions to fire science. He is one of the pioneers of fundamental research that brings safety and sustainability to the world. ¡Enhorabuena Carlos!

Happy to share our latest paper on modelling the Limiting Oxygen Concentration (LOC) of smouldering. Now Open Access in Combustion and Flame with Yunzhu Shaorun Lin Yuying Chen and Yichao sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share our latest paper on smouldering emissions from peat fires: *Particles emitted from smouldering peat: size‐resolved composition and emission factors* doi.org/10.1039/D4EA00… Peat fires are among the largest wildfires on Earth, and their emissions contribute to

Our latest open-access research on Arctic-boreal peat fire (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…) was featured in the cover paper of Environmental Science & Technology ACS Publications, where we investigated the interactions between snow and fire!! Xinyan Yunzhu
