The earliest algorithms for wildfire spreading prediction such as the Canadian forest fire behavior prediction system (CFFBPS) are based on empirical and theoretical techniques and rules to model the spreading process7. However, in recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approache...
We found southern boreal forests emitted an average of 3.3 卤 1.1 kg C/m 2 from field sites. The emissions from southern boreal stands varied as a function of stand age, fire weather conditions, ecozone, and soil moisture class. Sites affected by historical timber harvesting had greater ...

The Canadian Forest Wildfire Weather Index (FWI) system19 is widely used in wildfire studies to indicate fuel moisture, wildfire spread, fuel availability, and wildfire intensity by integrating temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and precipitation over different time lags. The FWI system was ...
The differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) derived from remotely sensed images captured by the Landsat suite of satellite sensors is one widely accepted method to quantify and map burn severity in various forest ecosystems (Van Wagtendonk et al., 2004). The dNBR is the difference in ...

Canada-wide,over 17 million hectares were burned in 2023, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. Eight firefighters lost their lives. WATCH: How much drier has this winter been compared to last winter? (Header image courtesy...
2010 was an exceptional year in terms of total area burned by Canadian boreal fires (Fig. 3). Large fire events were recorded in North Central and Western Canada (Fig. 2). Ozonesonde data are available at 13 regular sites, plus Walsingham, Montreal and Narragansett. Of the sites close to...

In May-June 2016 the Canadian Province of Alberta suffered one of the most devastating wildfires in its history. Here we show that in mid-April to early May 2016 the large-scale circulation in the mid- and high troposphere of the middle and sub-polar latitudes of the northern hemisphere fea...
