Fire carbon emissions can be tracked from space using bottom-up and top-down approaches. Bottom-up approaches use satellite observations to track fire activity, such as burned area15or fire radiative power16. Emissions of CO2, CO and other trace gases are then estimated by combining the estimate...

Persistent drought and months of above-average temperatures have raised the risk of a repeat of last year's record-breaking wildfires, prompting federal ministers to warn on April 10 about the need to address climate change. The 2023 fire season was Canada's worst on record...
The fire forced the largest evacuation in the history of Alberta. It continued spreading across northern Alberta into Saskatchewan, destroying massive forested areas and severely halting Athabasca oil sands operations. According to Statistics Canada: “Disasters—such as wildfires, floods, ice storms or...
Microbial response to fire has been studied for over a century (Seaver, 1909; Boudier, 1877). Across studies, wildfires usually decrease soil microbial biomass (Dooley and Treseder, 2011; Holden and Treseder, 2013; Pressler et al., 2018) and microbial communities can take decades to recover ...
