"In the past, many of these [human-caused] fires would have burned out or been quickly contained. Today, prolonged droughts, record heat & volatile weather amplified by climate change mean even accidental fires are more likely to escalate into uncontrollable infernos." Excellent piece 🔥🌏

Fires drove record loss of world’s forests last year, ‘frightening’ data shows Burning, worsened by global heating, overtook farming and logging as biggest cause of destruction of tropical forests

"'A global red alert' -- The destruction of the world’s forests reached the highest level ever recorded in 2024, losing an area the size of Italy to agriculture, fires, logging & mining, according to analysis from the University of Maryland." 🌏 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Not only are more forests/trees around the world experiencing mortality as a result of increasing stressors, but recovery is impaired as a result of increasing temps, drought, other climate-related impacts. Positive feedback loop -- as forests go, so do we. 🌏

Modeling the Black and Brown Carbon Absorption and Their Radiative Impact: The June 2023 Intense Canadian Boreal Wildfires Case Study Enhanced modeling of black and brown carbon (BrC) improved the simulation of aerosol absorption during the 2023 Canadian wildfires Advanced modeling of black and BrC reduced the direct radiative ...

New JGR paper out now 🔥 !

This study highlights the need for an accurate representation of aerosol absorption optical properties to capture their spatial variability from the June 2023 Canadian wildfires further transported over Europe.

At least 30 people were killed and more than 48,000 hectares, or 119,000 acres, of land was burned in fires that raged over the last week of March in South Korea, media reported.

The disaster is reportedly South Korea’s largest recorded wildfire as the blaze raged on for several days.

‘It’s bad’: How drought, lack of snowpack and federal cuts could spell wildfire disaster in NM • Source New Mexico State officials say NM on track with firefighting training goals

Forecasters are warning of above normal wildfire season in NM. Meanwhile, federal cuts, including those that would leave a third of the state unmonitored by wildfire dispatch, could make for a devastating fire season, experts told us.
