Western wildfires destroyed 246% more homes & structures in the past decade. Earth Lab's @PhilipHiguera, Maxwell C. Cook, Jennifer Balch, and Natasha Stavros, Ph.D. (she/her) wrote an article in The Conversation, where they explain what's changing in #wildfires bit.ly/3jiziFJ

It's Day 1 of our 2023 Innovation Summit! Jennifer Balch is welcoming our attendees, and inspiring us all to build a diverse, inclusive, and innovative #earthdatascience community

Fire is going to do the work in the landscape that it needs to do in a warming climate, Jennifer Balch writes in a guest opinion. “If we do nothing to curb our risk, these fires will do far more than just pollute the air.” wapo.st/45WO2NU

I was asked to share my thoughts about the tragic wildfires in Maui…this is my perspective as a fire scientist…
