In the coming decades, simultaneous fire weather in eastern Australia and western North America will likely become a recurring feature. Such overlaps are expected to constrain current resource-sharing agreements and the capacity of these nations to respond to large-scale wildfires.

Years of high fire weather season overlap co-occur with El Niño-like sea surface temperatures, especially with a Central Pacific El Niño signature.

We found that the fire weather seasons in the two regions are increasingly overlapping by one day per year since 1979. The increase in overlap is driven primarily by the earlier start of the eastern Australia fire season, which now overlaps more with the late season fires in western North America.

We analyzed the risk of simultaneous fire weather between eastern Australia and western North America, two regions linked by firefighting cooperation agreements that involve sharing resources such as aircraft and personnel.

We are collecting a database of young scientists in CompoundNET to promote the work of ECRs!
