Hydroclimatic Rebound Drives Extreme Fire in California's Non‐Forested Ecosystems
Hydroclimatic rebound occurs when unusually wet periods are followed by intense drying, or vice versa, creating sharp moisture swings. We show that this process drives extreme fire activity in Califo...

🎉 New in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science: “Challenges in assessing Fire Weather changes in a warming climate.”
We quantify a ~65% rise in extreme fire‑weather days (1980–2023) and show common daily‑proxy methods can overestimate trends by up to 10%.

Climate change has increased the odds of extreme regional forest fire years globally
Nature Communications - The authors show that extreme fire years in global forests align with rare fire weather extremes. Climate change has made such extremes 88-152% more probable. These findings...
