I'm very pleased on behalf of co-authors to be able to share this, just published, paper summarizing the @bburnedscience.bsky.social Fire Emissions Workshop in Nov 2023. MODIS has been critical to fire emission estimation for the past two decades & the paper reviews 9 widely used emissions datasets.

The 2025 year-to-date (to 7 August) total estimated #wildfire emissions for Canada (225 megatonnes of carbon (Mt C)), have overtaken 2024's annual total (223 Mt C) to be 2nd highest year since 2003, behind 2023. The total is likely to keep rising with 3 more weeks of summer still to come.
