His Web site, CruiseJunkie.com, is a record of fires, sunken ships, collisions and other events at sea over the last few decades that have been culled from news reports and sources like crew members and passengers.
He filed a Freedom of Information Law request, seeking records of fire drills, and later confronted Mr. Chmura — then a top deputy — with records suggesting that drills were being falsified.
We used new satellite records of fire incidence to create fire models which we then drove with a broad range of future climate model scenarios to get a sense of where the climate projections agreed on the sign of the change in fire frequency and where they did not.
These results highlight the importance of lengthening the historical records of fire history maps in order to provide a better perspective of the actual changes of fire regime.
We therefore developed a TSLF map for an extensive region in eastern Canada (217,000 km2) by generalizing the empirical relationships that exist between regional historical records of fire (1880 2000) with forest inventory data and biophysical variables.
Here we combine three sources of historical data: charcoal accumulation rates from a peat bog, detailed historical records of fire incidence and tree-ring width data from five relict black pine (Pinus nigra) forests with fire-scarred trees located in Sierra de Gredos (central Spain).
The paleoecological approach circumvents these limitations and offers the only way to obtain long-term empirical records of fire and vegetation change relevant for understanding tundra fire regimes under future climate and vegetation scenarios.
Although we are not aware of any records of fire in the studied populations, past occurrence of fire on the studied populations cannot be ruled out because fire is one of the main agents of natural disturbance in boreal forest [ 68].
Developments of agropastoral activity have been recorded during the Late Neolithic (the period of the pile-dwelling archaeological site "Les Baigneurs") and the Bronze Age, and the practice of slash-and-burn is documented by the records of fires.
