Pyrocumulonimbus clouds are intense, fire-induced thunderstorms that inject significant amounts of aerosols and gases into the atmosphere.

Modeling Storm Clouds Caused by Extreme Wildfires

A new study integrates fire processes into an Earth system model to help scientists simulate and better understand the impacts of pyrocumulonimbus clouds.

Revealing Rock Stresses and Fractures in 3D

The evolution of a sandstone’s texture, structure, and stress was measured during deformation for the first time.
