The 2023 Canadian forest fires have been extreme in scale and intensity with more than seven times the average annual area burned compared to the previous four decades1. Here, we quantify the carbon emissions from these fires from May to September 2023 on the basis of inverse modelling of sate...

Smoke from Canadian wildfires blankets the East Coast of the United States in early June 2023. [Image: NOAA] When smoke lingers in the air and travels, chemical reactions can make it more dangerous than it was at the site of the fire by generating free radicals—unstable atoms that can da...
Thousands of wildfires occur in Canadian forests every year and it is very challengingfor fire management agencies to predict weather conditions and fire risk especially in theareas with low weather station density. This thesis compares several existing interpolationmodels (ordinary kriging, ordinary cokri...
For instance, dry conditions paired with record high temperatures in Canada fostered the conditions for uncontrolled wildfires from the interior of British Columbia to Northern Ontario in the summer of 2021 (NRCan, 2021). Consequently, drought monitoring and early warning systems are necessary for ...
