In a #paleofire review of studies in #Russia the authors describe a disorderly state of data in the Global Paleofire #Database. They advocate for a "Russian analogue of the database on paleofires". Personally, I like unifying instead of separating when it comes to databases. Also, due to the war and all it's consequences, such a database may not even be accessible from outside Russia. Any thoughts on this?

An exciting week is slowly coming to an end here at the Japan Geosciences Union Meeting 2023 in #Chiba, #Japan! 🗾
It is my first time attending #JpGU in person and an opportunity to learn a lot - about great scientific progress and efforts, about our planet and even our solar system neighbours!
Big thanks to the organizers of session M-IS01 on Northern #Eurasia for inviting my talk and having me co-chair parts of their session.

And Abby Riley, also at the Undergrad Research Symposium! Abby is using the thin sections of Miocene silicified charcoal to infer the composition of a forest destroyed by pyroclastic flow. So proud of my students! #HuskyResearch #stromberglab #paleofire

So proud of my undergrad mentees presenting at the Undergrad Research Symposium! Haley Brooks is conducting research on fossil charcoal morphometry as a means to understand what fuels were involved in ancient wildfires! #HuskyResearch #stromberglab #paleofire

We were very kindly invited to write a communication piece for #AGUPubs Eos magazine, to go along with our recent review paper. If you'd like a quick overview on using #speleothems for #palaeofire research, look no further!

Our @unsw / #ANSTO team is presenting at #EGU23 today! We're in session BG1.2, poster Hall A, from 2pm until the coffee break. Come and see as at A.191, A.202 and A.203 to see what we've been up to in the #speleothem #palaeofire world.

@biorxivpreprint Expert assessment study about past and future fire regime changes now available as preprint @paleofire @wildfirescience #wildfires #newresearch #paleofire

Just arrived in #Sapporo, #Japan, to start my research project at #Hokkaido University 🎉❄ 🗾

Together with my hosts at the Faculty of Environmental Earth Science, I will work on generating the largest dataset of long-term #wildfire activity in eastern #Siberia to date, while learning a new method for the reconstruction of past #wildfires 🔥

I am happy to be back in Japan and looking forward to some exciting #science!

Second last day to submit #EGU23 abstracts - we're excited for our #paleofire session, and so keen to see everyone in Vienna https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/45519

#EGU23 is coming up QUICK! We are running a session on #paleofire and would love to see you in Vienna (or online!) https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/45519

"Fire in the Earth System" 🔥🌐 has been announced as #research #highlight of the month by the @helmholtz Climate Initiative #REKLIM ("Regionale Klimaänderungen und Mensch")!

Together with Prof. Elisabeth Dietze (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen) and Dr. Birgit Heim (Alfred Wegener Institute) I provided a brief introduction to #wildfire #science, #paleofire, and our project in #Siberia.

🔥 #Paleofire & #paleoecology #workshop opportunity at the University of #Göttingen, Germany! 🌲

Join this workshop on "Long-term fire-vegetation change: data-based challenges", on-site or online, from February 13-17 for discussions on the current state of fire-vegetation #reconstructions, #FAIR data, and the inclusion of the Global Paleofire #Database #charcoal records into #Neotoma!
