Wildfire

Model how climate change affects floods, droughts and wildfire, including the hydrological consequences of fire-altered vegetation and soils. Combine CMIP6 or ISIMIP climate ensembles, land-use projections and probabilistic analysis to identify future hazard hotspots under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways. Results support a Bristol-led consortium studying water supply and global health burdens. The full-time role is 35 hours per week for up to 12 months, at £41,885–£49,798, with flexible or hybrid arrangements considered. Applications close at 23:59 UK time on 24 November 2026.

…The 2027 Wildfire Science, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies Gordon Research Conference, "Wildland and WUI Fire Trends and Impacts", brings together researchers in combustion, atmospheric, environmental, health, measurement, modelling and data sciences to advance understanding of fire behaviour and develop practices that lessen

…atmospheric carbon accumulation, but wildfire, forest decline and other climate feedbacks could weaken that buffering. Satellite observations of vegetation and greenhouse gases help constrain exchanges, while uncertain feedbacks remain important limitations for projections.
