Wildfire risk has increased in Chile over the last decade causing unprecedented socio-economic losses.

In this Join Research Initiative a team of fire researchers will work together with AXA Climate experts to develop novel approaches to assess wildfire risk.

Keep updated!

🔥Wildfires pose a global threat to our societies and environment.

📈To better understand & assess their risks, AXA Research Fund is thrilled to announce the launch of a new joint research initiative with Universidad Zaragoza & @AXA Climate ! #GEOFOREST

Interesting and worrying study

A must-read for remote sensing users of the fire community! This answers many of the questions about the discontinuity of the MODIS burned area product🔥

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

#Copernicus for #AirQuality monitoring

 In recent weeks, #Canada 🇨🇦 has been plagued by fires which are affecting air quality in multiple cities

  #Copernicus Atmosphere #CAMS forecast for the next few days shows aerosols moving from #Quebec to Europe🇪🇺 across the North Atlantic

Great opportunity to work with #wildfires #climatechange with an amazing team at INRAE Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur jobs.inrae.fr/en/ot-18427

Our new study in PNASNews shows that anthropogenic climate change is the major driver of the increase in summer forest fires in California, and the coming decades are likely to be worse:
