Weltweit nahmen #Waldbrände in der ersten Jahreshälfte 2025 stark zu.

Besonders betroffen waren #Kanada und #Russland mit extremen Emissionen und weitreichendem #Rauchtransport bis nach #Europa und #Ostasien.

Auch #Südkorea verzeichnete Rekordbrände mit dramatischen Folgen. In #Südostasien waren die Emissionen zwar niedriger, doch dichte #Rauchschwaden belasteten weiter die #Luftqualität.

About 200 fires are actively burning in Canada and have consumed about 19,900 square kilometres of terrain, most of it in the last week.

The financial pressure currently faced by the whole UK HE sector is challenging to say the least. This has led to a number of course closures across a range of disciplines, including #MathematicalSciences. The Campaign for Mathematical Sciences #CaMS has launched a provision tracker to help monitor the health of #Maths departments across the sector, and support colleagues in the #maths community.

This must be a crucial part of any strategy to improve economic growth and productivity, or to strengthen the maths teacher workforce.
