Additional information

This work describes unique, multidisciplinary research that applies fire safety engineering tools in solving important questions in geo- and earth sciences. It has led to new international collaborations across several disciplines (Claire Belcher, Earth System Science, c.belcher@exeter.ac.uk; Jon Yearsley, Biology & Environment Science, jon.yearsley@ucd.ie; Claudio Zaccone, Agricultural Chemistry, claudio.zaccone@unifg.it). It resulted in follow-on funding to Belcher (Marie Curie Career Integration Grant, PyroMap, PCIG10-GA-2011-303610, €100k; Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship, FILE-PIEF-GA-2009-253780, €172k) and Guillermo Rein (RAEng/Leverhulme Fellowship, £52k, g.rein@imperial.ac.uk). It also led to funded extension (UCD Earth and Natural Sciences PhD Programme, PRTLI Cycle 5, €125k, jon.yearsley@ucd.ie).
