In the news 🗞️ The past seven years included the six most extreme wildfires in the 21-year period. This new study charts the rapid growth of energetically extreme wildfires across the planet over the past two decades ➡️ ow.ly/v3ac50SppEJ

And here is a rotating view of the #LakeFire's time-averaged plume structure. The anvil is spreading at ~5500 m, along a subsidence inversion as pointed out by Timothy E. Wright. #CAfire

El abandono rural ha ido acompañado por una visión exageradamente romántica de la naturaleza que ha introducido muchos neologismos en su mayoría provenientes del inglés. Pero debemos ir con cuidado con estos préstamos, ya que pueden encerrar una trampa ideológica.🧵

How severe is the ongoing #heatwave 🥵 in Europe? Here is the Excess Heat Factor forecast based on the ARPEGE model Meteo-France. Up to 67% of Spain's territory will be affected by severe severity. In the next few days, more than 70 million people will be exposed in Europe.

Avui fa 15 anys, cinc bombers del #GRAF Bombers van perdre la seva vida a l'incendi d'Horta de Sant Joan. En record del Ramon, Jaume, Pau, Jordi i David. Gràcies Josep Serra Tarragón per la il·lustració.

I’m at a conference trying to focus on science… but the real science is happening here on the #Parkfire with a likely fire-generated tornadic vortex

So the #parkfire is burning at an incredible rate of spread the past 48 hours, growing from a burning truck in a ravine to 164k acres as of this morning. Thank god it has not yet run into communities. I hope it does not. But it really spotlights a few things:

Watching the progression of the #ParkFire from space provides some useful visual insights into the difference between land management for wildfire danger mitigation and logging. -Wildfire danger mitigation: We saw a shaded fuel break along Highway 32, containing the eastern

Over 315,000 of the 385,000 acres in #ParkFire have burned in grass, brush, or oak woodlands which will recover quickly from the fire and largely benefited, ecologically, from being burned.

Climate change made the extreme fire-prone weather of 2023-24 at least three times more likely in Canada, 20 times more likely in Amazonia, and twice as likely in Greece, the report reveals. Fires in Canada and Amazonia were also likely larger due to climate change. #wildfires

California’s Massive Park Fire Would be Less Severe if We Proactively Reduced Fuels.🧵 The Park Fire shows that both a lack of active management on US Forest Service land and land management optimized for timber production are far from ideal for wildfire safety.
