@CoE_CERIDES @GeorgeBoustras @knews_cy In terms of novel machinery: this autonomous hose line converts paths and srhubland into effective fire lines, contains fast moving fires all whilst allowing firefighters to leave the danger zone. Tested and validated with the @UnivdeCoimbra in Portugal.

@AnotherFireGuy @AfD @Bundestag couldn't agree more! similar setting here in Switzerland, the costs are simply not sustainable - we'd better invest in long-lasting best practice implementation and research when we still have time.

The current heat stress in Florida has not been this high this early in the season since satellite records began in 1985.
Learn about measures to protect, relocate, and “bank” live fragments of coral to help Florida’s Coral Reef survive this heat crisis.

@ctif_org Thanks for sharing, the company is actively looking for demonstration sites, ideally during prescribed burns: [email protected]

Good God...

The entirety of the Northern Hemisphere's oceans are on fire right now.

@AntMaldoMor the CTIF references a novel tool for asset protection which has been validated by the university of Coimbra - it runs autonomously and is very efficient in water consumption.

Assembling in active baths 🛀? Read a beautiful tweetorial by @IvnPla about a new #activematter #assembly paper in @NaturePhysics , led by Jeremie Palacci, with @EdouardHannezo and @SaricLab. Priduct of fun times @ISTAustria 🌲⛰️🧗🏻‍♀️!

@ekathimerini although this is just one piece of the puzzle addressing symptoms of climate change, the tourism industry needs to think about protecting human lives and infrastructure. There are proven ways, such as the Papageno system.

@AnotherFireGuy @HeartOfLettuce and maybe install an autonomous appliance mimicking aerial drops. This way one can transform forestry roads into effective fuel breaks without exposing firefighters to flames.

Was deployed with the Portuguese civil protection @ProteccaoCivil in march during prescribed burns.

BREAKING: A damaging tornado has impacted densely populated portions of the Milan metro, specifically Cernusco sul Naviglio, Lombardy, NW Italy about 2 hours ago.

@andersonirpfpca @UCsierraforest @sfchronicle maybe something more like this? Has been used in anchor point and edge protection during prescribed burns in Portugal

Great example of #CulinaryFluidMechanics!! 😀🫧🚰🥂

@WildlandFirefig If you are interested we spent some time at the university of Coimbra in Portugal looking at such a relationship - ping me up and we can take this discussion further, I'm happy to share some results

[Martin Hofmann @MaHo_Pallini]

@WildlandFirefig Hi Ignacio, it still feels like we are lacking data on wetting patterns (https://t.co/VPODy4mmQ2 - like this study) and the correlation of amount of water needed as a function of fireline intensity. Or are you aware of such a tool?

@m_schlossmacher @AnotherFireGuy @AlexanderHeld4 Die Wasserverteilung nach einem Wasserabwurf aus der Luft kann auch mit einer autarken Apparatur am Boden erreicht werden (https://t.co/8i01nTwyIZ). Weniger Kosten, weniger Risiko für Anwender und effizientere Ressourcennützung!

@AnotherFireGuy @derspiegel oder vielleicht das autonome Papageno Löschsystem: https://t.co/8i01nTwyIZ
