Benchmarking Auto‐Regressive Spatio‐Temporal Predictions of Wildfire Spread From the FireBench Simulation Data Set With a Machine Learning Competition

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract As wildfire severity increases, predicting wildfire spread is important for fire and landscape management. However, wildfire spread is a complex phenomenon that is challenging to capture because it depends on many factors, such as wind speed, slope, landscape topography, and fuel properties. Machine Learning (ML) models are powerful tools that

Optical closure experiments for biomass smoke aerosols [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010
A series of laboratory experiments at the Fire Laboratory at Missoula (FLAME) investigated chemical, physical, and optical properties of fresh smoke samples from combustion of wildland fuels that are burned annually in the western and southeastern US The

When insurers retreat: The governance of wildfire disasters and how FAIR plans allocate climate risk

open access: yesRisk Management and Insurance Review, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 336-375, Fall 2026.
Abstract As wildfire risk accelerates private insurer retreat, state‐governed FAIR Plans increasingly serve as the primary coverage available in hazard‐prone areas. This paper analyzes these residual markets as instruments of disaster governance, arguing that their design reflects distributive political choices regarding risk allocation.

Fire‐Atmosphere Coupling Starts Upwind: Selective Redistribution of Turbulence at the Fire‐Induced Rear Inflow

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Wildfires alter local atmospheric conditions, yet the spatial extent and frequency‐dependent characteristics of fire‐induced inflow perturbations remain largely unquantified. This study applies Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEMD) to analyze high‐frequency horizontal wind speed data from a tower positioned at varying distances (∼80–

Cooking Impacts PM1 in Suburban New York, With Implications for Respiratory Deposition

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Sub–micron particulate matter (PM1) in the New York (NY) metropolitan area impacts air quality and human health. We characterized refractory black carbon (BC) and non–refractory (NR) PM1 in Mineola, NY during winter 2024 and NR‐PM1 during summer 2023.

Research Priorities for Robust Climate Assessments in the United States

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Scientific assessments play a critical role in synthesizing evidence to support evidence‐based decision‐making in many sectors and topics. For climate change, large‐scale assessments like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United States (U.S.) National Climate Assessment (NCA) reports help many different users—from ...

Inside the Fire Plume Chemical Interactions: A Review on Key Processes and Future Directions

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Fire plumes are rising columns of heated air masses, consisting of gaseous and particulate matter generated by combustion, affecting air quality, climate and public health. The chemical species released undergo secondary reactions and participate in chemical and physical interactions, altering the properties of the fire plume.

Fine Particulate Matter and Wildland Fire Smoke: Integrating Air Quality, Fire Management, and Policy in the California Sierra Nevada [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Wildland fire is an important component to ecological health in the Sierra Nevada. It is essential to understand smoke impacts from full suppression policy that has produced a smoke averse public if this natural process is restored to the landscape ...
