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 o
Data is also distributed unevenly in time, with 70% of the records falling in the wet season and the remaining 30% in the dry season (the most relevant in the context of wildfires). ERA-Interim performs particularly well in Europe, as a result, the FWI validation shows low biases and ...

We make recommendations for future priorities based on factors including continued expansion of the oil and gas industries, climate change resulting in increased frequency of wildfires, and land use. 2.

to reveal the effects of climate change on mountaineering routes and implications for the mountain guiding community. To do this, we used a mixed methods approach that combined spatio-temporal trend analysis, repeat photography, and semi-structured interviews with mountain guides. We found that rising...
This necessitates the ability to detect new wildfires, as well as map their active wildfire areas and behavior, thereby supporting smoke and air quality modeling. This requires the instrument to collect thermal observations to conduct wildfire detection and characterization analysis (e.g., [32,73,...
The primary drivers of boreal ecosystem dynamics are wildfires, alongside the secondary drivers of insects, diseases, and their interactions [13]. Natural boreal forests, therefore, are not only composed of young postfire stands but also include significant proportions of old-growth stands ...
