I’m recruiting a PhD and MSC student for fall 2026 working on the movement ecology and conservation of Mexican spotted owls in SW forests and rocky canyonlands. Exciting partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory. Great vibrant lab group, high impact research! 🦉 gavinmjones.com/opportunities/

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

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

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. ➡️ gilromera.com #Ciencia #CambioGlobal #Paleoecología

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: essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/... stateofwildfires.com/latest-report/

Lots of learning, exchange and networking about FireSat capabilities for ecosystem impact monitoring at EDF headquarters

In Spain, several pyroCb events have triggered the largest wildfires ever recorded in the country. We talk about it in the media ⬇️ www.eldiario.es/sociedad/ver...

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

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...

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. Info vía ‪@eforestal.forestry.es‬

Come work with us! We are looking to fill a PhD (mountain forest management) and PostDoc position (forest adaptive capacity, w/ @juditlecinadiaz.bsky.social). We'd be happy to have you as part of our dynamic team! PhD: www.lss.ls.tum.de/fileadmin/w0... PostDoc: www.lss.ls.tum.de/fileadmin/w0...

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 theconversation.com/why-2025-bec... #climatesky #flashflood

The area burned in the Canadian 2025 fire season has hit 5 million ha. Third active fire season in a row that combined has burned 7% of the Canadian forest. Currently we have 346 fires out of control (192 monitored out of control (OC) and 154 OC that are being actioned) so expect the number to rise.

The 2024 Park Fire was the fourth largest wildfire on record in California and burned through forests that also burned in the 1990 Campbell Fire. The image shows the Iron Mountain area.

In historically frequent-fire forests of the Sierra Nevada (California), low- and moderate-severity ("beneficial") fire treated ~17% more area than all other treatments combined. Given limited resources, this is a crucial aspect of future planning esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Area burned over 1 million hectares in Canada and increasing. Second only to the 2023 in terms of area burned for this time of year. @ciffc.bsky.social ciffc.ca cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/maps/fm3?typ...

How can we define a wildfire as extraordinarily large across regions? What constitutes a large fire event varies regionally depending on biophysical attributes and fire response. In our latest publication, we introduce a new approach using return periods to identify contextually large fires. ⬇️

My contribution to #FireScarFriday: Here I am with my baby, standing between two Giant Sequoias, side by side, marked by fire scars in California

2/n ... As the tree continues to grow, the fire is recorded by the tree in what is called a fire scar. Because tree rings can be aged, scientists can determine the years in which these fires historically occurred. . .

Canopy base height can be accurately estimated using low point density lidar (0.5 points/m2 at an altitude of approximately 1000 m). Check out the LadderFuelsR package besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

En California, la capacidad de quemar está volviendo a la ciudadanía. Se dice que se secuestró por parte de las administraciones, y ahora esta volviendo a la gente a partir de asociaciones de voluntarios (PBAs) (ademas de otras iniciativas relacionadas con las comunidades indígenas).
