Asynchronous lightning and Santa Ana winds highlight human role in southern California fire regimes
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Southern California’s most extreme fire weather is caused by offshore Santa Ana winds, which commonly occur later in the year than the lightning which provides natural ignition. Examination of the specific dates of both lightning and Santa Ana winds over

Evolving Fire Frequency in the Western United States and Its Links to Human Influence
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Burned area and wildfire damages in the western United States (WUS) have increased dramatically in recent decades. Wildfire frequency, however, has shown trends that vary by data set, region, and fire size. Using a comprehensive fire occurrence data set screened for reporting artifacts from 1992 to 2020, we show a significant downward trend in

Learning to live with landscape fires [PDF]
, 2015 SummaryCatastrophic wildfires have become more frequent in the last few decades. The standard depiction in the media of fires as a disaster that has to be avoided and stopped at all cost fails to do justice to a more complex ecological balance of ...

Toward Socio‐Legal Geographies of Fire
Geography Compass, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Human and physical geographers alike have long called for a shift toward the study of fire that re‐politicizes geographies of fire and pyrogeographies. Whether through centering the role of fire in the Anthropocene, proposing the pyrocene to interrogate our current epoch, or looking at the aftermath and governance of fire to better understand ...
