Climate change increases the risk of simultaneous #wildfires Climate change is increasing the #risk of wildfires in many regions of the world. This is due partly to specific weather conditions - known as fire weather - that facilitate the spread of wildfires. Researchers from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and Australian colleagues have found that fire weather seasons are increasingly overlapping between eastern Australia and western North America. The research team examined the causes of this shift and its implications for cross-border cooperation between fire services in #Canada, the #US, and #Australia. The research was published in Earth's Future. More information https://lnkd.in/e4cHwZTD #climatechange #research #publication

#Leipzig und #Landau werden Modellstädte für KI-gestützte Verkehrssteuerung: Das Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr (BMDV) hat am 10. April die Städte Leipzig und Landau in der Pfalz als erste Pilotregionen im Forschungsprojekt AIAMO – Artificial Intelligence and Mobility. Das UFZ (Jan Bumberger / Thomas Trabert) koordiniert gemeinsam mit der Stadt Leipzig u.a. den Aufbau eines Umweltmessnetzes mit rund 50 Messstationen. Diese Umweltdaten sollen perspektivisch mit Verkehrs- und Wetterdaten verknüpft werden, um Maßnahmen für eine umweltsensitive Verkehrssteuerung zu entwickeln. https://lnkd.in/eKxMURfs
