Boreal blaze

Forest fires have become more intense, more frequent and more extensive in several areas, with global warming as one contributing factor. A new research project, led by CICERO, will examine how forest fires near the Arctic will develop and affect the future climate. The aim is to contribute to improved projections of climate change and risk, for the high latitudes and globally, which is crucial for decision-makers who aim to secure the basis of life for people and nature.
