Comenzamos!

Happy after a fantastic field day with our different partners discussing how to improve the way we quantify carbon stocks in shrublands, using field data and remote sensing.

See you on Wednesday, January 21st, to talk about historical fire regimes in California with the 2026 California Fire Science Seminar Series @cafirescience.bsky.social

Extreme fire conditions in SE Australia, with major fire events

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Scores of fires, many that are huge, spanning the state of Victoria. Thank you to all the firefighters, you are heroes!

No thanks to politicians that continue to ignore scientists & our evidence-based & urgent warnings about climate change, placing the lives of humans & others species at risk.

FireSat program, led by Earth Fire Alliance, will provide high temporal resolution (~15 min) fire data (perimeter and intensity) at 80 m resolution, to understand and predict fire impacts to communities and ecosystems #FireCon25

@afe-fireecology.bsky.social

Amazing talk by @mikoontz.bsky.social today at #FireCon25 about wildland fire severity surpluses and deficits across ecosystems of the United States @afe-fireecology.bsky.social

Dr Graciela Gil-Romera Global Change at Long-Term Scales, bridging the gap between past and present.

El cambio global es uno de los grandes retos de nuestro tiempo.
@gilromera.bsky.social investiga cómo los ecosistemas han respondido históricamente a las perturbaciones y qué nos dice esa historia sobre resiliencia y estabilidad.

In NASA Stennis facilities in Louisiana, thinning and prescribed fire are used to restore wetlands and enhance endemic species biodiversity #FireCon2025

The 2024-25 fire season analysis add to the growing evidence base that warming is making extreme wildfires more likely and more severe. More info in the scientific article and project website:

Verano catastrófico: 2025 es ya el peor año de incendios del siglo XXI y registra los fuegos más voraces de la historia Los datos provisionales indican que los fuegos de Zamora-León y Ourense son los mayores del registro y revelan un hecho crucial: los 52 grandes incendios han quemado de media 7.000 hectáreas, 3.000 má...

In Spain, several pyroCb events have triggered the largest wildfires ever recorded in the country. We talk about it in the media ⬇️

The Gifford fire in California has already burned 53,500 hectares and it is only 61% contained. There are 13 active fires burning more than 72,500. And this is not a "bad" year

🔴⚠️🔥🇪🇸🇵🇹🌡Alarming conditions for several #wildfires affecting Spain and Portugal since days.The latest meteosat-12 📸 in early August 15 shows a giant smoke plume flying over France as well as violent fires in the iberian peninsula. #climateemergency

El calor extremo, uno de los ingredientes clave del “cóctel molotov” que dispara los incendios La acumulación de días seguidos con temperaturas muy altas en la mayor parte del país influye en la proliferación de fuegos simultáneos, lo que a su vez complica la extinción

He podido conversar con Clemente Alvarez de El Pais sobre como los incendios moldeaban el paisaje en California antes de la llegada de los Europeos, y como ahora las quemas prescritas pueden ayudar a gestionar el territorio

elpais.com/clima-y-medi...

Aunque haya llovido mucho en la Peninsula en los ultimos meses, en la zona de Ourense, Leon y Zamora han vivido un año seco en respecto a los registros historicos

La gran nubosidad es un indicio de la posibilidad de piro-convección en los incendios, como ya ocurrió el lunes y martes en el incendio de Molezuelas de la Carballeda con las cimas de los Pyrocumulonimbus alcanzando -40ºC y -50ºC

Secuencia del satelite Meteosat el 13 de agosto de 2025 entre 11:00 de la mañana y 17:00 de la tarde hora local en España. Se aprecia la gran actividad de incendios en Portugal, Ourense, Zamora y en las últimas horas en Valencia.

El incendio de Molezuelas de la Carballeda en Zamora tiene una estimación de entre 30K y 35K hectáreas afectadas y está a punto de ser el incendio más grande conocido en España desde que hay registros.

Why 2025 became the summer of flash flooding in America Large parts of the central and eastern U.S. have seen at least 50% more precipitation than normal. An atmospheric scientist explains why and what creates flash flood weather.

Flash floods are surging across the country this summer with more than 3,600 warnings issued already in 2025.

Experts say the main causes are:
* Record-high humidity
* A slow-moving jet stream
* Rising ocean temperatures
