#Wildfire 🔥 & #climate researcher at University of Birmingham. Interested in all things fire (but especially fuels, fire-climate interactions, fire danger forecasting & fire ecology).

Final panel at #FBF2026 with @littlekerryn.bsky.social et al.
Some great suggestions, including the importance of social science in solving wildfire issues.
I agree completely. We have quite a lot of useful knowledge, the question is how we can get people to use it and change behavior when needed.

We are collecting records of fire behaviour in the UK!
Do you have fire behaviour observations (recent or historical) for a specific location, date and time? We welcome you to fill in this survey to help us to validate and improve FireInSite fire behaviour predictions.

Priority research directions for wildfire science: views from a historically fire-prone and an emerging fire-prone country | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Fire regimes are changing across the globe, with new wildfire behaviour phenomena
and increasing impacts felt, especially in ecosystems without clear adaptations to
wildfire. These trends pose signifi...

Persistent positive anomalies in geopotential heights drive enhanced wildfire activity across Europe | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Persistent positive anomalies (PPAs) in 500 hPa geopotential height are upper-air
circulation patterns associated with surface heatwaves, drought and fuel aridity.
We examined the association between ...
