but it also significantly increased the likelihood of the large area burned in most regions of the country. Our results demonstrate how climate-change induced changes in wildfire risk are regionally differentiated across Canada, with the biggest increases in the southwest and southeast of the country...
wildfire detectionThis study presents a model developed using a risk-based framework that is calibrated by experts, and provides a spatially explicit measure of need for aerial detection daily in Ontario, Canada. This framework accounts for potential fire occurrence, behaviour and impact as well as ...
“Canadians need to know the risk,” said Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair. But when it comes to old buildings, staying cool and keeping wildfire smoke out at the same time can be a challenge. Roughly 80 per cent of the buildings that will be standing in 2050 are already buil...
This summer’s wildfire season in Canada is expected to be the worst ever,reportsReuters. How long will the smoke affect U.S. cities? That depends on which city you are talking about and how well fire services can get the current fires under control. But as for...
Many threats build on one another, with deforestation and climate change increasing the risk of extreme wildfire, the report notes. The relative importance of different threats to globally threatened bird species based on the impact of the threat and the number of species affected. Only threats...
A conceptual system dynamic model of the impact of future climate change on fire risk in the Nova Scotian Acadian Forest Region (NS AFR) was developed, clarifying the influence of positive and negative drivers of future fire risk. Weights of relative importance for seven wildfire risk drivers id...
