Wildfire smoke can drift to far mountains range and change the amount of glacier melt, an important source of water for downstream environments. On the Athabasca Glacier, in the Canadian Rockies, the impacts of wildfire smoke on glacier melt were investigated using weather measuremen...
“The impacts on wildlife of the large-scale, intense wildfires that have been occurring throughout the west in recent years are not well understood.” Hodges said smaller animals such as voles and mice may find it harder to escape wildfires compared with larger mammals such as...
blocking in terms of transient-mean flow interaction: 1) different statistics by various detection approaches; 2) simulation biases and contributions by mean-flow components in GCMs developed at GFDL; and 3) persistent impact of...

Canadian scholar Homer-Dixon (1999) showed that environmental scarcities – whether created by ecological constraints or sociopolitical factors including growing populations, depletion of renewable resources such as fish or timber, and environmental injustice perpetrated by one segment of a population on ano...
“As the province receives more rain, and eventually snow, the remaining wildfires on the map will be removed,” said Desrosiers. Oliver Brandes, co-director of the University of Victoria's POLIS Project on Ecological Governance, said drought was once considered a “short-...
was set in stone the minute Lyell latched onto Agassiz’ ice ages: Nothing happens that isn’t happening in their 19th century micro-moment in time. Framed within uniformitarian perception, all evidence will, OF COURSE, be seen by the old guard to support their gradualistic memes.What’s ...
Future climate change could have significant repercussions for lightning-caused wildfires. Two empirical fire models are presented relating the frequency of lightning fires and the area burned by these fires to the elective precipitation and the frequency of thunderstorm activity. One model deals with th...
