Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center’s University Director Dr. Amy Snover will serve as a panelist during an upcoming Seminar “Fired Up: Building Wildfire Resilient Communities in a Changing Climate,” held at the University of Washington on March 27th as part of the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences (SEFS) Seminar Series. Amy will be joined by Dr. Brian Harvey from SEFS, Dr. Yufei Zou from the UW Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Laboratory and Nick Lauria from Wildfire Defense Systems.
During this moderated session, the panelists will answer questions about the impacts of a changing climate on wildfire and impacts on communities at risk of experiencing wildfires. Amy will also discuss how NW CASC-funded research is helping increase our understanding of the relationship between climate change and wildfire, and helping build resiliency in the face of a changing climate. This event is being co-sponsored by UW SEFS and PEMCO insurance.
