Current
Research: Global biomass burning: links with the
climate system and modelling.
Biomass
burning is recognized as a major source of greenhouse gases
and of aerosols, which affect the climate system. Conversely,
global vegetation fire activity is under strong climatic control
and is affected, namely, by climatic modes such as the El
Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
The
objectives of this project are:
-
To analyse and model teleconnections between remotely sensed
global fire activity datasets and indices of climatic modes,
in order to quantify the extent the interannual variability
of fire activity is under climatic control.
- To
collaborate in modelling the climatic forcing from pyrogenic
emissions and from fire-induced surface albedo changes,
using GCMs.
This project
(ER IX) contributes to the science
objective 4 (Quantify impacts of climate change and climate
variability on fire-induced emissions of greenhouse gases) of
GREENCYCLES and strong collaborations are planned within Greencycles,
especially with the University of Bristol and the Met Office
in Exeter.
