What is pyrogeography and how can it help us coexist with wildfire? - Livestream

With increasing area burned and homes lost in California, we must somehow adapt to, and coexist with, wildfire in the coming decades.  In my talk I will review what we have learned as the field of pyrogeography has progressed, as well as where uncertainties still exist.  In the context of modeling, a key challenge is to include realistic patterns of both climate change and human activity in our future projections.  In the context of policy, a key challenge is to integrate scientific findings into guidance for land use and urban planning.
