🔥 New in IJWF: Ochoa et al. introduce ESFire30, a 30 m burned-area dataset mapping nearly four decades of wildfire across peninsular Spain. The dataset reveals strong spatial variability, frequent reburning in the northwest. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF26... #IJWildlandFire

Was haben wir uns in diesen Land darauf eingebildet, aus der eigenen Geschichte gelernt zu haben. Und 80 Jahre später bekommt wieder eine völkisch-rechtsextreme Partei in einem deutschen Bundesland 44,5%. Ein Tag der Scham.

Managing Fire Impacts on Drought-stressed Trees: Fully Funded PhD Opportunity

Drought stress can cause canopy loss (Fig. 1) and hydraulic damage, affecting processes that are essential for tree survival. Subsequent recovery requires energy and time. Intensifying and more fre…

It's been a great week in #Quebec at the #IBFRA 2026 conference, with a chance to dive into the beautiful (hemi)boreal forests of eastern #Canada! Meeting so many colleagues researching boreal forest ecology in one place was truly wonderful 🌲🔥🧪🌎

Bogs and fens are strong protectors of carbon, keeping it out of the atmosphere in wet peat that also cleans water and resists wildfire. But we continue to lose peatlands at alarming rates. This tension between hope and fear is one theme of my first book, Bogland. wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Japan has now joined Horizon Europe. Japan’s researchers can now partner with teams across the EU. Together, we will advance global research in health, digital technologies, and climate neutrality ↓ link.europa.eu/YP7MtB

#GlobalHeating greatly increases #wildfire risk. That‘s been established scientifically for a long time (see IPCC reports) but has now been shown again for the current fires 🔥 in France and Spain in a new World Weather Attribution study. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

The devastating wildfires unfolding in France and Spain are a stark reminder of the growing challenges Europe faces each summer. EU-funded research is supporting better wildfire prevention, preparedness and monitoring. @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu #SciComm 🧪

“We’re seeing these intense fires and unpredictable behaviours. It definitely feels like an important topic to be researching.” go.nature.com/4yKEdAX

The scale of these wildfires is staggering. New Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery from 26 July shows the devastation west of Bordeaux, France. The blackened burn scar now covers an area estimated to be ~4x the size of Paris, while infrared data highlights fires that continue to burn.

#Wildfire season is #Disinformation season! 🔥💬 I debunked very common but misleading arguments designed to deny any impact of #ClimateChange. Every year they keep coming back - with catastrophic fires near #Bordeaux and #Madrid, this year is no different. 1/6 volksverpetzer.de/analyse/wald...

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

1/Southern Europe is burning — 20,000+ evacuated in France, fires across Spain, Portugal & Greece, temps near 45°C. Last summer I wrote that we're now, quite literally, "at war" with wildfires. Are our militaries prepared? The question's only gotten sharper 🧵

🔥 New in IJWF: Girardin et al. show that rising atmospheric dryness coordinates boreal forest change: higher VPD suppresses tree growth, increases annual area burned, and indirectly reduces biomass accumulation through linked growth and fire pathways. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/WF25... #IJWildlandFire

It's like dusk in Albany right now with a very thick layer of smoke blocking out the sun and an orange tint to the sky. Approaching the same feel as June 2023. Smells like campfire outside.

Well, what a difference 24hrs makes. The view in Toronto and Niagara Falls right now vs yesterday. Pictures from Earth Cam #WNY #Buffalo #Toronto #Ontario

Why is AC so rare in much of Europe? Well, until recently it simply wasn't hot enough to need it. Here is the average number of days above 30C (86F) for major cities over time:

Wildfires rage across southern Europe, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes. Hundreds of firefighters are battling blazes that have devastated more than 19,000 hectares across France, Spain, Portugal and Greece u.afp.com/SKdr

What happens if you lock #paleofire researchers and fire #managers in a room for 3 days and have them discuss synergies? While no one was actually locked in, this recent workshop at @csicaragon.bsky.social highlighted why such #transdisciplinary exchanges matter: palaeopen.github.io/outreach/mee...

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
