In 2021, fires in Siberia burned millions of acres and emitted a record amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The region experienced high heat, low soil moisture and drought as well.

most of the fires in 2012 have burned through taiga in remote parts of eastern and central Siberia. On September 11, 2012, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s ...

Wildfires are ravaging parts of the Arctic, with areas of Siberia, Alaska, Greenland and Canada engulfed in flames and smoke. Satellite images show how the plumes of smoke from the fires ...

"We have developed a new approach to estimating emissions of carbon-containing gases in wildfires in Siberia, including in the Arctic zone, in terms of pure carbon. This is a refined technique ...

intensifying fire activity especially in Australia, South America, Western North America and Siberia. These increasing fire dynamics offset the decrease in burned area due to land-use changes and ...

The snow is mostly gone in Siberia which means that the time is ripe for wildfires. This region is mostly dry when the snows are gone and lightning or a carelessly thrown cigarette can easily ...
