Wildfires: charting the path forward

from Big Thinking Podcast · host Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences

In this episode of the Big Thinking Podcast, we dive into the complex world of wildfire research in Canada. Wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense, and understanding their causes and effects is more important than ever. What is the science behind them? What is their connection to climate change? And what role does interdisciplinarity play in wildfire research? Our host Karine Morin is joined by Dr. Mike Flannigan, BC Innovation Research Chair in Predictive Services, Emergency Management and Fire Science, and Dr. Shannon Wagner, Vice-President of Research at Thompson Rivers University to answer all of these questions.
