Literature Map

This page groups the bibliography by the intellectual roles different papers play in the project.

Core wildfire modeling references

These works define the operational and physics-based modeling context:

• Rothermel
• Finney / FARSITE
• Sullivan review
• WFDS, WRF-Fire, FIRETEC

Data and event reconstruction

These references establish the observation and trajectory layer:

• MODIS burned area
• VIIRS active fire
• FireCCI
• MTBS
• Global Fire Atlas
• FIRED
• CubeDynamics

Scaling and complex systems

These works provide the language for power laws, criticality, and scaling:

• Malamud
• Pueyo
• Telesca
• Clauset
• Sethna

Geometry and rough interfaces

These references provide the fractal and interface-growth background:

• Mandelbrot
• Ricotta
• Plotnick
• Kardar-Parisi-Zhang
• Family and Vicsek
• Barabasi and Stanley
• Meakin

Cross-scale ecological context

These works connect disturbance geometry to landscape structure and ecological process:

• Turner
• Peters and colleagues
• West, Brown, and Enquist
• Thompson

Why this map matters

The project is strongest when these literatures are not treated as disconnected references. The proposal needs to show how they fit together:

data -> trajectories -> scaling diagnostics -> mechanism tests -> model benchmarks
