N.L. wildfires impeding day-to-day geoscience work, but less than in 2025
Increasingly severe wildfire seasons are a public safety concern in Newfoundland and Labrador, while also having implications for regular activities in rural and remote areas, including geoscience work essential for the mining sector.

📉 Comparing the Solid-to-Tree Ratio with the Land Surface Temperature (LST) data obtained in the previous phase of the study allows for a visual assessment of the relationship between surface sealing and summer surface heating across Calgary’s residential communities.
🔥 The plot reveals a strong pattern for the vast majority of communities: a sharp increase in temperature occurs within the ratio range of 0 to 5. The Downtown Commercial Core stands out as a distinct outlier, where low LST values are driven by deep geometric shading from high-rise buildings. Additionally, neighborhoods such as Manchester, Seton, Redstone, Beltline, and Rangeview, among a few others, slightly diverge from the main trend.

#Wetlands provide the greatest #climate mitigation when water tables are maintained 5 to 20 centimeters below the surface, rather than being completely flooded, as this depth balances carbon retention with minimized #methane production. #CO2#Environmental #Geoscience #sflorg
