@RGS_IBG Thrilled to receive this award from the @RGS_IGB - really on behalf of the whole wildfire community and especially @santin_cristina who co-wrote the key paper leading to it. Incidentally Murchison’s work established the Silurian, when wildfire emerged on Earth.

Despite advances in building standards, fuel reduction methods, fire danger forecasting, communication, evacuation planning and fire suppression in many regions, the recorded death toll from wildfire disasters is on the rise.

@DrTELS Brilliant overview from Tom Smith on this often misunderstood (and misused) seemingly contradicting trends in reduced avg. fire globally (driven vast grassland fires in Africa) and increased fire in areas where fires and their enormous impacts are increasing (many forest areas)

@jjestrany many thanks for giving up some your Sunday to explaining your team’s exciting research. Some unexpected findings on erosion and hydrology in this Mallorcean catchment burned in a huge wildfire in 2013 - and is recovering rather well.#swanseageo #firelinks #fireurisk
