SciDevNet: Urbanisation may lead to fewer traditional controlled burns in rural areas Build up of dry vegetation would raise risk of more-damaging fires Official efforts to ban all fires clash with traditional management Shares African wildfires may become larger and more intense as more people move to cities, a study has found. Traditional ways of using controlled burning to prevent out-of-control natural fires could die out in many rural areas as urbanisation increases, leaving grassland free...

Early use of 'hurricane hunter' data improves hurricane intensity predictions
2016-05-25 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Data collected via airplane when a hurricane is developing can improve hurricane intensity predictions by up to 15 percent, according to Penn State researchers who have been working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Hurricane Center to put the new technique into practice. Prior to this study, no hurricane prediction model incorporated the vast amount of data collected by 'hurricane hunters,' which are NOAA or U.S. Air Force airborne reconnaissance missions...

Frequency and Intensity of Wildfires Across the Globe Fueled by Climate Change
2016-05-11 16:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Nexus: The widely destructive wildfire in Alberta has raised concerns about the frequency and intensity of wildfires across the globe fueled by climate change. Scientists have warned that along with factors such as changing land-use and firefighting methods that leave more trees and bush to burn, rising temperatures have stood out as a reason. Worldwide, from 1979 to 2013, the length of fire season has increased nearly 19 percent. In the U.S., the 10-year average number of acres burned in wildfires has...
