As the risk associated with wildfires in the western United States increases every year, it becomes fundamental to research alternatives to both improve the resilience and reliability of engineering systems against those types of events, as well as…
Extreme events may trigger cascading outages of different components in power systems and cause a substantial loss of load. Forest wildfires, as a common type of extreme events, may damage transmission/distribution lines across the forest and…
Trace analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during wildfires is imperative for environmental and health risk assessment. The use of gas sampling devices mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to chemically sample air during wildfires is…
This study characterizes concentrations and describes the spatiotemporal patterns of ambient air polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) between 2011 and 2015 in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR). 24-hour integrated ambient air samples were…
