Widen the aperture a bit, and we can envision Earth entering a fire age comparable to the ice ages of the Pleistocene, complete with the pyric equivalent of ice sheets, pluvial lakes, periglacial ...

A report published by the FAA in December has caused many in the advanced air mobility (AAM) industry to reassess assumptions about the safety impacts of downwash and outwash produced by electric ...

Los Angeles is burning, but it isn’t alone. In recent years, fires have blasted through cities in Colorado, the southern Appalachians and the island of Maui, along with Canada, Australia ...

pluvial lakes , periglacial outwash plains , mass extinctions and sea-level changes. It's an epoch in which fire is both prime mover and principal expression. Humanity's firepower underpins the ...

the porous material absorbs some of the energy from the flow impingement reducing the velocity of the tangential wall jet -- a high-speed outwash of air along the ground -- thereby mitigating the ...
