Elevation-dependent intensification of fire danger in the western United States. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Elevation-dependent warming trends have been previously identified, but its effect on fire danger is still unclear. Here the authors show that there has been widespread increases in fire danger across the mountainous western US from 1979 to 2020 with ...

Will Fire Danger Be Reduced by Using Solar Radiation Management to Limit Global Warming to 1.5 °C Compared to 2.0 °C? [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 The commitment to limit warming to 1.5 °C as set out in the Paris Agreement is widely regarded as ambitious and challenging. It has been proposed that reaching this target may require a number of actions, which could include some form of carbon removal ...

Accounting for fuel in fire danger forecasts: the fire occurrence probability index (FOPI)
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 A new fire danger index is proposed to overcome one of the most important limitations of current fire danger metrics. The fire occurrence probability index (FOPI) combines the Canadian fire weather index (FWI) with remote observations of vegetation ...

Increasing Synchronous Fire Danger in Forests of the Western United States
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Widespread fire activity taxes suppression resources and can compound wildfire hazards. We examine the geographic synchronicity of fire danger across western United States forests as a proxy for the strain on fire suppression resource availability ...

A New Fire Danger Index Developed by Random Forest Analysis of Remote Sensing Derived Fire Sizes
Fire, 2022 Studies using remote sensing data for fire danger prediction have primarily relied on fire ignitions data to develop fire danger indices (FDIs). However, these data may only represent conditions suitable for ignition but may not represent fire danger ...
