Webinar: Climate Trends and Wildland Fire Risk Analysis for Alaska's Fire Season
A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
This webinar examines how increasing temperature and precipitation during Alaska's fire season (April-September) create uncertainty about future wildland fire risk. Warming increases fire risk while higher precipitation may partially offset it. The analysis covers trends of heat and drought indicators (vapor pressure deficit, SPI, SPEI, convective precipitation, heat index) across the full season and by early (April-June) and late (July-September) halves, using machine-learning analysis of large-scale meteorological data.
