Abstract

Global wildfire activity has experienced a dramatic surge since 2017. From Chile [1] to Indonesia [2], unprecedented fire behavior has occurred in many areas worldwide including, but not limited to, Portugal [3], Siberia [4], Australia [5,6], the Amazon and Orinoco basins [7], and the Western US [8]. This surge in global wildfire activity has led to a dramatic raise in human fatalities, and in socio-economic and ecological losses.
