WHY THE THEORY DESERVES INVESTIGATION

• Water provides immediate cooling.
• Mineral earth may help a wet mixture remain on a surface longer.
• Mineral material may remain after some water evaporates.
• A remaining mineral layer may potentially reduce direct exposure to heat, flame or oxygen.
• Mineral-enhanced water may potentially reduce rapid runoff.
• Increased surface residence time may potentially improve protection.
• A mineral coating may potentially reduce reignition.
• Locally available earth may potentially help extend limited water resources in appropriate circumstances.
• Cleanup may be manageable compared with the destruction caused by uncontrolled wildfire.

These are hypotheses requiring controlled scientific, environmental and comparative testing.

Christopher Woody invites scientists, universities, environmental researchers, wildfire researchers, public institutions, Tribal and Indigenous governments and other qualified investigators to study the general scientific question:

Can mineral earth and water together provide measurable wildfire-protection or suppression advantages over water alone?

Independent research into this general theory is encouraged.
