We currently face a wildfire crisis; increasing burned area and fire intensity driven by past fire management practices and climate change. Students will be given a comprehensive overview of wildfire science and management and challenged to critically analyze the complex ecological, socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural challenges that wildfires present. NOTE Some basic quantitative (Chem/Phys/Math) calculations and problem solving are elements of this course. Students without any prior course experience in quantitative sciences should contact the course instructor to discuss before enrolling.
