Wildfires View wildfire maps that reveal the growing scale and frequency of wildfires. Compare historic burn areas to areas currently at risk, and dig into the impacts of wildfires on people, the environment, and biodiversity.Back to the Map: Canadian Wildfires December 12, 2024 Behind the Map...
The announcement follows similar action from other countries which have eased restrictions on blood donations by gay and bisexual men. In Canada, earlier this year, officials submitted to eliminate a three-month blanket donor deferral period for all sexually active men who have sex with men....
Across the globe, human activities have been gaining importance relatively to climate and ecology as the main controls on fire regimes and consequently human activity became an important driver of the frequency, extent and intensity of vegetation burning
7). The arid lands of Simpson Desert and Lake Eyre Basin in Central Australia presented high and very high susceptibility to wind erosion, while some sedimentary environments (e.g., the dried beds of the ephemeral lakes), de-vegetated burnt areas by wildfires63,64, floodplains that are ...
The regular burning of the wetland (note that in general, South Africa is prone to wildfires) may be one of the reasons for this spread. The Colbyn Valley Wetland experiences fires (sometimes twice a year) on a regular basis and they kill fauna, damage the flora and the wooden fences. ...
Similarly, forests with NPP values ranging from 2500 to 5000 kg·C/m2 are defined as active fire-induced FRST-pattern, which represents an active fire-induced pattern of natural-induced wildfires in forests with high tree/shrub cover. As the climatic and hydrological conditions vary slightly in...
Monitoring the evolution of lava flows is a challenging task for volcano observatories, especially in remote volcanic areas. Here we present a near real-time (every 12 h) and free tool for producing interactive thermal maps of the advance of lava flows over time by taking advantage of the fre...
