This event of work and exchange of experiences and advances in the knowledge of this subject took place on October 11 2019 in the “Sala de Grados” of the Library of the University Campus of Rabanales in the University of Cordoba.
The seminar had an international focus with the collaboration of the Project Leader of the line of research in economics and forest fires, and operational risks in the action of extinguishing the “Human Dimension Program, RMRS USDA Forest Service”, Dr. Dave Calkin.
The program of the presentations was completed by the contributions of Prof. Dr. Francisco Rodríguez y Silva, responsible and director of the Forest Fire Laboratory of the University of Córdoba. The program of the Seminar-Workshop was as follows:
The round table incorporated interesting reflections on the application of the scientific advances recently developed and currently evolving by the Wildfire Risk Team of the Human Dimension Program and the Forest Fire Laboratory of the University of Cordoba, in the territorial geography of the Interreg-Poctep “CILIFO”. The definition of the “delineable operational perimeters” (PODs), the potential control lines (PCLs) and the spatialized determination of the extinction difficulty index, were presented as novel tools for the production of thematic maps aimed at better understanding the options of extinction and reduction of uncertainty in decision-making aimed at control and forest fire suppression. The presentations are being integrated into a digital publication that will be located in the downloads and blog section of the website of the Forest Fire Laboratory of the University of Cordoba (LABIF-UCO): www.franciscorodriguezysilva.com
