New paper! It's pretty much common sense that hotter summers = more wildfire activity. But what about individual heatwaves? Our team dug into this question, and found that 42% of burned area over the past couple decades happened during or right after a heatwave. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Heatwaves enable wildfire activity in the western United States

Heatwaves are associated with a disproportionate share of wildfire activity and trends in the western US in recent decades.

Our new study in Science Advances: Extreme fire risk days are increasingly synchronizing globally. This trend strains firefighting cooperation and worsens regional air quality. With @climate-guy.bsky.social @mattwjones.bsky.social @mojisadegh.bsky.social and Alison Cullen doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Increasing synchronicity of global extreme fire weather

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

🔥 Our new research in @science.org shows that people are increasingly exposed to fires globally, driven by overlapping shifts in where #fires occur and where people live. But changes in exposure vary hugely by region and are shaped by different population dynamics.👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Increasing global human exposure to wildland fires despite declining burned area

Although half of Earth’s population resides in the wildland-urban interface, human exposure to wildland fires remains unquantified. We show that the population directly exposed to wildland fires incre...
