Graph of annual area burned in BC 1950-2025
Map showing locations and status of fires in BC https://wildfiresituation.nrs.gov.bc.ca/map
The 2025 BC fire season area burned (872k ha) has moved into 5th place with the recent fire activity. This means that the top 6 fire seasons have been since 2017 (records go back to 1950) Area burned-red bars (2017-2025 graph below) far exceeds the green bars (1950-2016). Climate change in action.
Is the UK hot right now?
YES - it's warm!

🌤️ Our #AI weather forecasting model has been published today in Nature 🤖
🥇the first AI weather model to learn directly from raw environmental observations
🌎 compared to existing AI models it is cheaper to train, uses less carbon and easier to deploy locally

Happy new year to you too mate! Glad you’re enjoying the calendar 😊

Here are Monday #AGU24 presentations by @woodwellclimate.bsky.social and @permafrostpathways.bsky.social researchers: please join us! 🧵
Excited to be in Washington DC for my first ever #AGU24! It’s been wonderful to catch up with some of my old @bas.ac.uk office mates today exploring the city @andyclelland.bsky.social @heartmeltingice.bsky.social
Looking forward to a great week of science ahead 🌎
Our burned area product paper was highlighted as one of the most notable articles in Remote Sensing over the past three months! You can read it here: doi.org/10.3390/rs16...
