Increasing synchronicity of global extreme fire weather Increasing synchronicity of global extreme fire weather constrains fire suppression coordination and exacerbates air pollution.

Our new study in Science Advances: Extreme fire risk days are increasingly synchronizing globally. This trend strains firefighting cooperation and worsens regional air quality.
