Zombie fires with Dr Mark Parrington

Dr Mark Parrington is a senior scientist in the Copernicus
Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) Development Section at ECMWF
working on wildfire emissions.


Mark begins by telling us about Saharan dust in the UK. He also
talks us through the positives and negatives of wildfires and
‘black carbon’. He explains how fire seasons are getting longer
in California and why ‘mega fires’ are becoming more likely.


Mark tells us about scientific advancements in understanding
‘zombie fires’ and why we should be worried about Siberian fires
and the changing landscape of the Arctic.


We learned so much chatting to Mark in this episode about
wildfires and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
