Read moreScientists expect wildfires to increase as climate warms in the coming decades
As the climate warms in the coming decades, atmospheric scientists at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and their colleagues expect that the frequency of wildfires will ...
Earth Sciences | Read moreDamage, pollution from wildfires could surge as western U.S. warms
This potential leap in destructiveness and pollution--mainly from an increase in wildfire frequency--is forecast by computer models calculating impacts of moderate global warming on western U.S. wildf...
Earth Sciences | Read morePotentially Harmful Chemicals Found in Forest Fire Smoke
Researchers have detected common plant toxins that affect human health and ecosystems in smoke from forest fires. The results from the new study also suggest that smoldering fires may produce more tox...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreFire is important part of global climate change
The work is the culmination of a meeting supported by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), both based at UC Santa B...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreNew aerosol observing technique turns gray skies to blue
Some types of small aerosols -- such as black carbon from motor vehicle exhaust and biomass burning -- promote atmospheric warming by absorbing sunlight. Others, such as sulfates from coal-fired power...
Earth Sciences | Read moreParticulate Matter from California Wildfires Is More Toxic than in Ambient Air
The study adds to growing literature supporting source and component specific differences in toxicity of pollutant particles of a given size, and challenges regulators to consider toxicity as well as ...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreWhere there's wildfire smoke, there's toxicity
The health threat to city dwellers posed by Southern California wildfires like those of November 2008 may have been underestimated by officials.Detailed particulate analysis of the smoke produ...

The research, by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), focused on California wildfires in 2007, finding that they repeatedly caused ground-level ozone to spike to unhealth...
Earth Sciences | Read moreWildfires cause ozone pollution to exceed health standards
"It's important to understand the health impacts of wildfires," says scientist Gabriele Pfister of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), who is lead author of the study. ...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration University of Colorado Joint Release
Smoke transported to the Arctic from northern forest fires may cool the surface for several weeks to months at a time, according to the most detailed analysis yet of how smoke influences the Arctic cl...

Funded by the California Energy Commission, the California AUAV Air Pollution Profiling Study (CAPPS) uses autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAVs) to gather meteorological data as the aircraft fly...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreUN climate conference hears how EO can help
The Protocol commits its signatories to reduce levels of greenhouse gases – chief among them carbon dioxide – believed to be increasing global warming. Around 25 billion tonnes of extra carbon dioxide...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreEnvisat captures California ablaze
Gale-force winds have fed more than a dozen fires from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border since breaking out on Sunday, killing one person and forcing the evacuation of a quarter of a million people...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreResearchers hope virtual reality can help to prevent wildfires
In a year when many Americans have experienced first-hand the dangers of raging wildfires, University of Central Florida researchers are preparing to study whether interactive, virtual reality simulat...
