Methane Emissions From Wildfires: Trends and Anomalies

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Wildfires emit smoke particles and trace gases including greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, impacting the environment and leading to detrimental impacts on human health and economy. The estimation of spatially and temporally resolved methane emissions from biomass burning (BB) provides critical information in developing measurement‐informed

The Influence of Aged Smoke on Urban Ozone: Aircraft Measurements in Chicago During the 2023 Canadian Wildfires

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract As large wildfires become more frequent and severe in North America due to heightened fuel aridity and fire weather conditions driven by anthropogenic climate change, wildfire smoke has an increasingly important influence on air quality. Transported smoke can impact urban boundary layer ozone (O3) directly, via the entrainment of O3 formed in ...

Building trust amidst barriers: Navigating social and policy challenges in California fire and fuel management projects

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract To mitigate the increasing threat of catastrophic wildfires in California, policymakers have emphasized the need to accelerate and expand treatment of vegetative fuels, particularly through prescribed burning. This study investigates the sociopolitical barriers that land managers encounter when implementing these treatments.

Using extreme value analysis to enhance defendable space for fire fighters and residents

, 2012
While wildland fires (bushfires) are an anticipated event with each fire season, it is important that the extent of likely annual fire weather conditions and those of more extreme conditions are identified as part of community preparations for fire ...

Traffic Flow Data Collection Methods During Wildfire Evacuation

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 601-612, August/September 2026.
ABSTRACT With climate change and urbanisation increasing wildfire risk in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), enhancing community evacuation preparedness is crucial. This study evaluates different data collection methods for measuring traffic flows during a community wildfire evacuation drill in Roxborough Park, Colorado, in June 2024.

Managing Smoke Risk from Wildland Fires: Northern California as a Case Study

Environmental Science & Technology
Smoke fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from increasing wildfires in the western United States threatens public health. While land managers often prioritize reducing wildfire risk in the wildland-urban interface, the impact on regional air quality from mitigating wildfire spread is less explored.
