The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is a Geneva-based group that monitors global displacement due to climate change and conflict, among other things. Its 2024 Global Report on Internal Displacemen
Regardless of their characterization, fire carbon emissions will affect the growth rate atmospheric CO2. As such, monitoring changes in the carbon budget across both managed and unmanaged land is important. Including all land in the Canadian carbon budget, top-down estimates find that Canadian ecosyst...
In Canada, new rules were put into place last year requiring railways to commit additional capacity to detect, monitor and suppress fires during fire season, which runs from April to October, and work c...
Krentzman pointed out that most of Canada doesn't use human lookouts anymore, and "in the world today, AI and technology, that's a big topic in general. I think it's on everyone's mind, right?" Why do we still hire humans to watch for wildfires?

Similar AQIs are used in many other countries under other names including Air Pollution Index. The approach is the same, using standardized ambient air pollution concentrations to produce an index equated to health risks, but the number of risk categories varies. Canada uses a 1-to-10 scale ...
The fires have released roughly as much carbon as Germany does in a year and sent plumes of smoke spilling over the North Pole.
