Today, in @ScienceMagazine, we report that global CO2 #emissions from #forest fires have increased by 60%since 2001. Forest #fires have also shifted north and become more severe. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 🌍🔥 (1/11)

Global rise in forest fire emissions linked to climate change in the extratropics

Climate change increases fire-favorable weather in forests, but fire trends are also affected by multiple other controlling factors that are difficult to untangle. We use machine learning to system...

With extension of current Red Flag Warning into Friday (!) across parts of NorCal, this represents an extraordinarily long duration of very high fire risk conditions amid a historic heatwave. Not a great combo, especially given "unauthorized" 4th of July fireworks. #CAwx #CAfire

(1/3) New paper out! We look into the opposite of snow drought - what we're calling snow deluge. We found that California's 2023 snow deluge was a roughly ~1 in 54 year event, and broke records at 42% of monitoring sites. AP summary: apnews.com/article/snow-delu…

Study says California's 2023 snowy rescue from megadrought was a freak event. Don't get used to it

A new study finds that last year’s snow deluge in California, which quickly erased a two decade long megadrought, was essentially a once-in-a-lifetime rescue from above.
