Climate Change Increases Wildfire Risks in Yosemite and Other National Parks - University of California, Berkeley
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (259+ words) New UC Berkeley-led research indicates that continued climate change could severely increase wildfire above natural levels in Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Lassen Volcanic National Parks. The study, which was published today in Environmental Research Letters, also provides data for…...
Most carbon released by Canada’s 2023 wildfires came from burning soils
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (413+ words) Nearly three-quarters of the carbon released during Canada’s record-breaking 2023 wildfire season came from burning soil and peat rather than trees, according to new research that highlights a hidden source of greenhouse gas emissions. The study, published in Geophysical Research Letters,…...
Geophysicist identifies a maximum practical viscosity – Physics World
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (332+ words) At what point does a material become so viscous that it cannot flow? The question is a tricky one because some apparently solid objects are not as rigid as they seem. A glacier, for example, may look immobile, but when…...

As climate change drives more extreme wildfires, are smoky summer days the new norm?
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (109+ words) KGOU As climate change drives more extreme wildfires, are smoky summer days the new norm? Scientists say human-caused climate change is driving longer fire seasons across drier landscapes, sparking more intense and widespread forest fires. In Canada, home to more…...
Volcanoes and Wildfires May Be Increasing Stratospheric Water Vapor and Warming Earth
2+ mon, 2+ day ago (293+ words) Recent studies suggest that volcanoes and wildfires are increasing stratospheric water vapor in Earth's atmosphere. Scientists believe this additional moisture may contribute to climate change by trapping more heat high above the planet. The findings show that even moderate volcanic…...
Severe California forest fires burn 30 times more acreage than in 1980s, says UCLA
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (670+ words) Scientists from UCLA found that while the total area affected by forest fires has increased tenfold since 1985, the land burned by the most damaging fires has surged by a factor of 30. Published in PNAS, the study examined wildfire patterns between…...
