X-Fire 2026

About

The X-Fire Workshop aims to serve as a focused international forum for advancing knowledge on the unique challenges of extreme wildfire events through the exchange of scientific and operational insights. The Workshop is structured around the following key objectives:\r\n\r\nEnhance understanding of extreme wildfire events by integrating up-to-date knowledge from multiple scientific disciplines, including –but not limited to– physics, meteorology, fire ecology, fuel dynamics, numerical modeling, machine learning, and remote sensing.\r\nIdentify research gaps and challenges in observing, modeling, predicting, and managing extreme wildfire events.\r\nFacilitate interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, operational experts, and policymakers to develop innovative methodologies, enhance predictive capabilities, improve decision-making, and identify lessons learned from past events to inform best practices in extreme wildfire events management.\r\nBy creating a focused scientific and operational exchange on extreme wildfire events, X-Fire aims to fill a critical gap, ensuring that the complexities of these events receive sustained attention and interdisciplinary collaboration.
