🚨 New publication! The BBURNED review paper on fire emission estimation in the MODIS era, resulting from our 2023 Fire Emissions Workshop, led by @mparrington.bsky.social from our scientific steering committee is now published in Elementa online.ucpress.edu/elementa/art... @ucpress.bsky.social

Smoke from Indonesian forest fires has crossed borders into Malaysia, Singapore & the Philippines. Monitoring fires, forecasting smoke movement & issuing timely warnings can help protect public health. WMO’s Air Quality & Climate Bulletin is out 7 September, #CleanAirDay.

🌳 Trees affected by extreme heat produce fewer leaves and grow more slowly for up to two years afterwards. WMO-@fao.org in their latest joint report explore the science behind extreme heat, its impact on agriculture and how to build resilient agrifood systems. 📘 bit.ly/49pZUuZ

What effect does climate change have on wildfires, and how do wildfires affect the climate? Ammodo Science spoke with Guido van der Werf, professor of Landscape Fires and Carbon Cycle at Wageningen University & Research 👉 shorturl.at/5Bnoa #climatechange #wildfires #science #EduSky #AcademicSky🧪

🔥 Why doesn't Canada put out every wildfire? Sometimes monitoring beats fighting — fire is part of the boreal ecosystem. GWC Charter Member @mikeflannigan.bsky.social weighs in. #wildfire www.cleveland.com/metro/2026/0...

🔥Track global wildfire emissions in near-real time or look back at events since 2003. As fires burn worldwide, the “Fire Emissions Watch” app from #CopernicusAtmosphere provides fire emissions data & smoke plume forecasts based on Global Fire Assimilation System dataset. ⬇️

“We have no need for air-conditioning, and so we don’t have filtration in the homes for smoke.” Project Lead Sue Natali and Sr. Arctic Lead Edward Alexander spoke to the New York Times about how the presence of smoke in northern communities is a growing cause for concern. #Canada #Arctic 🎁 link:

🔥 Emissions from Spain and Portugal #wildfires so far this year account for three quarters of 2025 total fire emissions for the European Union + United Kingdom based on #CopernicusAtmosphere data. As of 25 August, EU+UK emissions are the highest annual total in the GFAS dataset going back to 2003.

“The amount of spring rain is one of the best indicators of when you’ll hit the more severe part of the fire season,” Max Moritz @ucanr.edu said. “But the warming trend still plays a role because... plants are drying faster than in the past.” www.independent.com/2025/08/18/f...

The EUBURN-SILEX campaign has just ended after a dozen flights over 🇫🇷 fires and 🇨🇦 plumes transported over the 🇫🇷 country. A comprehensive database was acquired using a set of innovative ✈️ in-situ and remote sensing instruments. Next phase is the postprocessing of the database acquired. 🔥 #EUBURN

New paper out - Regional wildfire smoke reduces boreal forest carbon uptake iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Wildfires are a source of carbon and they can reduce the carbon sink from the forest. Cumulative Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) shows a big drop in 2011 Day 138 due to wildfire smoke.

Been busy with your research and missed the deadline? Good news! Due to an incredible response (390 registrations), we're extending the abstract submission deadline for the 2025 ECR Online Conference. 🔗 Visit our website: www.ecr-igac-icacgp.org/2025/03/05/i... #AtmosphericScience #ECR #Conference

We got an exceedingly rare view of #pyrocumulus as they were forming above the fire. Scientists are studying the composition and physical properties of smoke to better understand its meteorological and climate impacts.

It's official. 2025 is now the third worst wildfire year on record in Canada. A study from 2018 examining fire-regime changes in Canada over the prior 57 years showed the fire season had been starting approximately one week earlier and ending one week later. Probably longer now.

🧪🛰️🔥🌍 It is that time of the year when satellite monitoring of fires and #smoke in S. America has to be more dedicated. Fires have been going already for a while (since May particularly in N. Argentina and Paraguay and increasing north with time) but none have been v. intense or putting much smoke.

Total column carbon monoxide (CO) from the TROPOMI sensor on the Sentinel 5-P satellite shows the tremendous emissions from ongoing Canadian wildfires, wrapping around a large Low pressure system yesterday 23 Jul. @esaearth.esa.int

New 🔥 pod from Arctic Council on decolonizing wildland fire management, revitalizing Indigenous fire practices, and how the global community can respond to an Arctic on fire. Grateful our @woodwellclimate.bsky.social team could join the conversation 🧵 #CanadaWildfires #ArcticFire #ClimateSolutions

🧪🛰️🔥 Massive #smoke cloud over #Canada this morning. For reference, the area of Greenland about 2.1M sq km too

Our new NPJ Natural Hazards article reveals how human action, extreme weather, and complex terrain combined to fuel Türkiye’s largest wildfire for the last century. #wildfire #climatechange #anthropocene #Türkiye 🔥👇 www.nature.com/articles/s44... @bikem.bsky.social @tolgagorum.bsky.social

#EUBURN had the opportunity to make detailed measurements of these long range transported 🇨🇦 smoke plumes from 17 to 19 july. We are studying how canadian wildfires 🔥 affect weather, climate and air quality across Europe. Plumes well observed 👀 from the research aircraft.

Manitoba is having a bad fire season in 2025 with over 300 fires burning over 1.25 M ha thus far. www.gov.mb.ca/conservation... Looks like there may be a rash of new lightning-caused fire starts with lots of lightning today and duff fuel moisture is very receptive to lightning starts.

Total estimated emissions from Canadian #wildfires continue to increase rapidly with 2025 already 3rd highest year, after 2023 & 2024, as of 13 July. #CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS data based on MODIS🛰️ active fire obs ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/datasets/cam... @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @ecmwf.int

🔥The intensity of wildfires is projected to rise across 88% of global fire-prone areas under 1.5°C warming, with the largest increases expected in wildland-urban interfaces already prone to disasters @calxcunningham.bsky.social 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Abatzoglou (@climate-guy) et al show that extreme #fire years in global #forests align with rare fire #weather extremes. #ClimateChange has made such extremes 88-152% more probable, highlighting the need for urgent action for #adaptation and #mitigation of fire impacts www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The area burned in the Canadian 2025 fire season has hit 5 million ha. Third active fire season in a row that combined has burned 7% of the Canadian forest. Currently we have 346 fires out of control (192 monitored out of control (OC) and 154 OC that are being actioned) so expect the number to rise.
