Abstract Canadian permafrost wildfires, characterized by surface flaming and deep organic soil smoldering, emit complex suites of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These emissions include air toxics that pose substantial public health risks and fuel secondary pollution, yet remain understudied.

Impact of Wildfire‐Emitted Black Carbon on Snowmelt Across Western North America
Abstract Wildfires are a major source of black carbon (BC) and their increasing frequency and intensity have enhanced BC deposition onto snowpack across western North America, which accelerates snowmelt and triggers multiple feedbacks that can substantially alter atmospheric composition and regional hydrology. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting

Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...

Abstract Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are one of the most iconic wildlife species in Canada. These large ungulates depend on undisturbed, interconnected assemblages of mature and old‐growth conifer forests for survival, and exhibit life‐history traits typical of K‐selected species (i.e., low reproductive rates, long generation times, and slow ...

Smoke signals: Measuring wildlife smoke exposure with animal‐borne and stationary sensors
Abstract Wildfires are becoming larger, more frequent and more severe, producing smoke plumes that degrade air quality hundreds of kilometres away and for days to weeks after an active fire. Despite public health and safety concerns regarding wildfire smoke, we know little about how free‐ranging wildlife experience or respond to these exposures.
