Arctic Fires

Arctic Fire. Smoke and flames are rising from the tree lined landscape
Wed, November 3, 2021
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Online | Room 177 Scott Hall

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.
