It's not Halloween but it is #WildfireAwarenessMonth, so we're talking about zombie fires. A phenomenon in Arctic forests, zombie fires ignite in the summer, lay dormant in the soil over winter, then resurrect when the weather warms again! 🔥

Outdoor activities like hunting & fishing are vital to connecting Americans to wild animals & wild places. But changing climate conditions are altering where, when, and how many animals are found on the landscape. See what USGS is doing to help! ow.ly/JZTL50VKKAf

High-quality data on wetlands are essential for management, but they are inherently difficult to study. So USGS scientists published a practical guide to measuring where wetland carbon is stored & how it moves through time. ow.ly/UvKr50VM52P #WetlandsMonth
