Biomass burning CO, PM and fuel consumption per unit burned area estimates derived across Africa using geostationary SEVIRI fire radiative power and Sentinel-5P CO data [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 We present the first top-down CO fire emissions inventory for Africa based on the direct relation between geostationary satellite-based fire radiative power (FRP) observations and polar-orbiting satellite observations of total column carbon monoxide ...

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.

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.

Review of California Wildfire Evacuations from 2017 to 2019 [PDF]
, 2020 Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging ...

Stand-replacing wildfires increase nitrification for decades in southwestern ponderosa pine forests. [PDF]
, 2014 Stand-replacing wildfires are a novel disturbance within ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of the southwestern United States, and they can convert forests to grasslands or shrublands for decades.
