The International Association of Wildland Fire has announced the Call for Papers for the Fire and Climate 2022 conference. Abstracts are now being accepted for two meetings:

- Fire and Climate 2022 in Pasadena, California: this meeting will be a hybrid virtual/in-person meeting during 23-27 May 2022

- Fire and Climate 2022 in Melbourne, Australia: this meeting will be held in-person during 6-10 June 2022



Abstracts are solicited on a wide range of topics centered on the interactions between fire and climate, including:

• Fire Management and Response

• Impacts of Climate Change

• Indigenous Knowledge, Fire and Climate

• Infrastructure Resilience

• Fire Behavior

• Smoke Transport and Air Quality

• Carbon Cycle and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

• Science Communications and Outreach

• Impact, Consequences, and Recovery

• Fire Ecology

• Firefighter Health and Public Safety

• Fire Impacts on Wildlife

• Climate Policy and Wildfire Resilience



Abstract submissions will be open until 15 January 2022 for Pasadena and 31 January 2022 for Melbourne.

Dear Colleagues,
Fires have severe impacts on air quality and climate, and it is timely to discuss associated knowledge and knowledge-gaps. This is why we are organizing a session at AOGS22 (see below the session description). We aim at creating a lively session and hereby invite you to submit an abstract on-line at https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.asiaoceania.org%2Faogs2022%2Fpublic.asp%3Fpage%3Dsessions_and_conveners.asp&data=04%7C01%7Cfirex-aq%40espo.nasa.gov%7C3d3e17e4bd794e73c45808d9b3473485%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C637737940672218384%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=qRws%2FJnOWUFlDjtAFml4BUvYTR%2BmUildEpQv5%2BP%2B1Qs%3D&reserved=0<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.asiaoceania.org%2Faogs2022%2Fpublic.asp%3Fpage%3Dsessions_and_conveners.asp&data=04%7C01%7Cfirex-aq%40espo.nasa.gov%7C3d3e17e4bd794e73c45808d9b3473485%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C637737940672218384%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=qRws%2FJnOWUFlDjtAFml4BUvYTR%2BmUildEpQv5%2BP%2B1Qs%3D&reserved=0>

Symposium Title (Symposium #):      Impact of Fires on Air Quality and Climate: Processes, Field and Modeling Studies (#51)
Topic Area:     AS - Atmospheric Sciences (Primary)
BG - Biogeosciences

Description/Focus and Content:
Fires are a major uncontrolled source of a wide range of chemical species, including greenhouse gases, PMs and VOCs that are significant impacting air quality, visibility, atmospheric chemistry, human heath, climate, and oceanic production upon deposition.
Globally, fires are the second largest source of VOCs and expected to growth in importance in the coming years, with current emissions estimated at 400 Tg yr-1 on average. Wildfire smoke can be transported over thousands of kilometers, and up to the stratosphere for mega fires, and undergoes dramatic chemical changes over their atmospheric lifetimes. Hence, the impact of wildfires on regional to global atmospheric chemistry and environmental impacts depends on the nature of the emitted species and chemical transformations that occur as fire emissions are transported and diluted. Consequently, characterizing the chemical composition of wildfire smoke is of tremendous importance. While, it is believed that all components, i.e., gases and particles, of biomass burning are highly reactive, our knowledge is still sparse.
Therefore, this session invites contributions providing new insights on the chemical transformations and diverse impacts of biomass burning plumes.
 Best wishes
