Burning more than 1,000 square kilometers of tundra on Alaska’s North Slope, the 2007 Anaktuvuk river wildfire is one of the largest fires to occur within Arctic ecosystems. Berkeley Lab scientist Nick Bouskill led a study that used data from this disturbance event to predict ecosystem recovery as fires advance in a changing climate. (Credit: Bureau of Land Management)

This action is completed in just a few femtoseconds – that is quadrillionths of a second, or a few millionths of one billionth of a second. (Credit: Ella Maru Studio)$
