Thank you! I didn't watch that "pop up" but this later one, https://www.youtube.com/live/z8jxiYbIc0M
for which you gave a short summary on Bluesky as a " lengthy discussion on complexity of California's contemporary relationship with fire--especially the wide range of fire regimes across CA's varied ecosystems, the spectrum of "good" to "bad" fire, and the millennia-long role of Indigenous fire."

Educational on its own, and paired with the #OfficeHours in January establish a welcomed feeling of being informed about reasons, factors and processes in wildfires in such Mediterranean ecosystems.
January were the only other fire-related sessions I watched so far, beside your video from Sept 3.

#ClimateChange Is Making #Fire #Weather Worse for World’s #Forests
#ForestFires are on the rise globally. An increase in severe #fireweather is largely responsible.
“Climate change is loading the dice for extreme #fireseasons like we’ve seen,” said John Abatzoglou, a #climate #scientist at U of Cal Merced. “There are going to be more fires like this.”
Area of forest lost to fire 2023-2024 was at least 2x greater than in previous nearly two decades.

A new study finds clear evidence that human-caused climate change has intensified fire weather across western North America over the past 50+ years.

Fingerprint of anthropogenic climate change detected in long-term western North American fire weather trends - Communications Earth & Environment

Anthropogenic climate change has been the dominant driver of increasing fire weather trends in western North America over the past 50 years, contributing 81–188% of the observed linear trends, according to regional optimal fingerprinting applied to large ensembles of high-resolution climate models.
