Below is a selection of recent wildfire-related research published in AGU journals:

• Five decades of observed daily precipitation reveal longer and more variable drought events across much of the Western United States, Zhang et al., Geophysical Research Letters
• Wildfire smoke particulate matter concentration measurements using radio links from cellular communication networks, Guyot et al., AGU Advances
• Health impact assessment of the 2020 Washington State wildfire smoke episode: excess health burden attributable to increased pm2.5 exposures and potential exposure reductions, Liu et al., GeoHealth
• Compound extremes drive the Western Oregon wildfires of September 2020, Abatzoglou et al., Geophysical Research Letters
• Unprecedented migratory bird die-off: a citizen-based analysis on the spatiotemporal patterns of mass mortality events in the Western United States, Yang et al., GeoHealth
• Wildfire smoke is associated with an increased risk of cardiorespiratory emergency department visits in Alaska, Hahn et al., GeoHealth
• Aerosol mass and optical properties smoke influence on O3, and high NO3 production rates in a western US city impacted by wildfires, Selimovic et al., Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres 

A special issue in Eos also takes a close look at the growing field of wildfire emissions research, pulling in experts from across a dozen disciplines of the geosciences that study how smoke travels around the globe, how to integrate it into climate models, and more.
