Exponential growth of oil and gas facilities in wildlands from one side and an anticipated increase of global warming from the other have exposed such facilities to an ever-increasing risk of wildfires. Extensive oil sands operations in Canadian wildlands, especially in the province ...
With climatic warming, wildfire occurrence is increasing in the boreal forest of interior Alaska. Loss of catchment vegetation during fire can impact streams directly through altered solute and debris inputs and changed light and temperature regimes. Over longer time scales, fire can accelerate permafro...
may face a repeat of the devastating wildfires experienced in 2023. "We really need to see very strong, aggressive, proactive drought planning from the province. All of these regions where water stress is likely to occur should have water sustainability plans in place," he ...
above-threshold area ratios all dropped sharply. At the same time in Vancouver, due to the impact of wildfires, the above-threshold area ratio did not decrease even during the lockdown period. With the start of the first-stage reopening in Toronto, the areas above different NO2threshold ...

The clean and clear start to the summer in Ontario will take a turn soon, thanks in part to the extreme heat in Western Canada and the United States. The stifling and persistent heat dome parked over parts of Western Canada and the U.S. have sparked some signi...
of lake water quality changes six months after a fire showed that Chl-a concentrations either increased, decreased, or showed no changes in a similar number of lakes, indicating that a lake specific ecological and hydro-morphological context is important for understanding lake responses to wildfires...
For decades, ecosystems have also been influenced or dominated by humans, which has often led to the degradation of natural zones. In addition to natural wildfires, human-induced forest fires have been a key cause of ecological damage. Particularly, in mid 19th century Chile fire served to clea...
