Scientific Reports - Rapid increase in West Siberia’s retrogressive thaw slumps since 1964 associated with Arctic winter warming

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 01 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s43017-026-00793-zGlobally, fires in 2025 burned the second-lowest area on record since 2002 and emitted the third-lowest CO2 total. Yet, a third successive year of extreme wildfire emissions prevailed in Canada, and catastrophic fires in Los Angeles, South Korea and Europe killed over 90 people and forced over 300,000 evacuations.

A study of soils around the Arctic and boreal forests has found that some wildfires are releasing carbon stored over millennia, meaning higher CO2 emissions than assumed

Abstract. Geosciences are often described as interdisciplinary, yet research and training remain fragmented across sub-disciplines and institutions. To understand how early career scientists (ECS) exp...
