August 26, 2015: Climate change and fire in the Southwest

Presenter: Larissa Yocom, Northern Arizona University

Global climate change will lead to shifts in climate patterns and fire regimes in the Southwest over coming decades. The intent of this webinar is to summarize the current state of scientific knowledge about climate change predictions in the Southwest as well as the pathways by which fire might be affected. While the paper is focused on the Southwest, in particular Arizona and New Mexico, some of the material cited covers a broader area.
