๐ŸšฉPotential for another fire weather/fire episode in Canada Starting next Tue-Wed (Jul 29-30) in AB then shifting to SK โ€“ MB โ€“ NWRN ON (Wed โ€“ Sat Aug 2). This is concerning as 2025 is very active fire season with 280 Out of Control fires - many in the regions mentioned. 500mb anomaly forecast below.

Looking forward to tomorrowโ€™s discussions on #ModelingWildfires and advancing #CarbonEmissions monitoring with next-gen #GeostationarySatellites. Excited to hear from Roberto Inghilesi, Mario M. Valero, Xavier Ceamanos, and Matthias Forkel!

Canada's 2024 wildfire season ranked as the second-worst in emissions over the past two decades, following the record-breaking 2023 season. The west experienced unprecedented emission levels, with smoke reaching as far as #Europe and significantly worsening #AirPollution. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Key highlights:

Global #WildfireEmissions are on the rise, with #Canada experiencing record-breaking years in 2023 and 2024. In contrast, emissions in #TropicalAfrica have been declining consistently over the last two decades.

#EarthObservation and #Modeling are crucial for wildfire monitoring and estimating #CarbonEmissions, yet challenges persistโ€”#EmissionFactors, fuel variability, and sensor uncertainties.

Day 1 of the #FutureFocus #Wildfires workshop by @eumetsat.bsky.social, which I attended virtually, was packed with incredible insights from experts like Daniela Stroppiana, Emilio Chuvieco, Mihale Pavolonis, Celia Gouveia, Mark Parrington @mparrington.bsky.social, and Laurence Rouil. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ”ฅ
