Trends in eastern China agricultural fire emissions derived from a combination of geostationary (Himawari) and polar (VIIRS) orbiter fire radiative power products [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020
Open burning of agricultural crop residues is widespread across eastern China, and during certain post-harvest periods this activity is believed to significantly influence air quality.

Climate drivers of global wildfire burned area

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Wildfire is an integral part of the Earth system, but at the same time it can pose serious threats to human society and to certain types of terrestrial ecosystems.

Local and remote climate impacts of future African aerosol emissions [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
The potential future trend in African aerosol emissions is uncertain, with a large range found in future scenarios used to drive climate projections. The future climate impact of these emissions is therefore uncertain.

Top-Down Estimation of Particulate Matter Emissions from Extreme Tropical Peatland Fires Using Geostationary Satellite Fire Radiative Power Observations

Sensors, 2020
Extreme fires in the peatlands of South East (SE) Asia are arguably the world’s greatest biomass burning events, resulting in some of the worst ambient air pollution ever recorded (PM10 > 3000 µg·m−3).

A global behavioural model of human fire use and management: WHAM! v1.0 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Fire is an integral ecosystem process and a major natural source of vegetation disturbance globally. Yet at the same time, humans use and manage fire in diverse ways and for a huge range of purposes.

INFERNO-peat v1.0.0: a representation of northern high-latitude peat fires in the JULES-INFERNO global fire model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Peat fires in the northern high latitudes have the potential to burn vast amounts of carbon-rich organic soil, releasing large quantities of long-term stored carbon to the atmosphere.

Estimating future wildfire burnt area over Greece using the JULES-INFERNO model [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Our previous studies have shown that fire weather conditions in the Mediterranean and specifically over Greece are expected to become more severe with climate change, impling potential increases in burnt area.

How policy interventions influence burning to meet cultural and small-scale livelihood objectives

Ecology and Society
Fire has cultural and economic significance for Indigenous and rural peoples worldwide, being used to manage landscapes for activities such as hunting, gathering, cropping, and forestry, and for ceremonial and spiritual purposes.

Global environmental controls on wildfire burnt area, size, and intensity

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Fire is an important influence on the global patterns of vegetation structure and composition. Wildfire is included as a distinct process in many dynamic global vegetation models but limited current understanding of fire regimes restricts these models ...
