Please join us for a presentation on Arctic Fires with Flavio Justino.
This presentation will discuss two decades evolution of satellite-based hot-spot across the Pan-Arctic and the Potential Fire Danger index (PFIv2), which demonstrated increased fire vulnerability and trend across the Arctic and extra-tropics from 2001-2016. It is found that fire danger has evolved as distributions of short-interval precipitation events and background vegetation characteristics change. Initial results on the influence of the Northern Annular Mode and Pacific/North American pattern on fire weather will also be explored.
To attend this event in person, please meet in Room 177 of Scott Hall at 11:30am
To attend this event virtually, please register.
