npj Natural Hazards - Megafires in Mediterranean Europe: the compound role of fire weather and drought

Hydroclimatic rebound occurs when unusually wet periods are followed by intense drying, or vice versa, creating sharp moisture swings. We show that this process drives extreme fire activity in Califo...

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science - Challenges in assessing Fire Weather changes in a warming climate

Nature Communications - The authors show that extreme fire years in global forests align with rare fire weather extremes. Climate change has made such extremes 88-152% more probable. These findings...

Join us starting May 28th, as meteorologists and climate scientists from across the US share their research and answer your questions.

An original method is applied to identify distinct periods of observed NAO spatial patterns, evaluating the ability of state-of-the-art climate models to reproduce them. Their poor representation of ...

The Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) is widely used to assess wildfire danger and relies on meteorological data at local noon. However, climate models often provide only daily aggregated data, which ...

npj Natural Hazards - Enhancing seasonal fire predictions with hybrid dynamical and random forest models

This study examines the evolution of human exposure to wildfires in Catalonia, Spain, over the period 1992–2021, by integrating geospatial data on fire perimeters, population, satellite-derived nightt...
