Wildfires in California- Friend or Foe | Scott Stephens | TEDxBerkeley
Wildfires are becoming increasingly common, especially in California, where they have devastated many communities across the state. UC Berkeley professor Scott Stephens outlines the science behind their increasing frequency, as well as strategies to prevent and minimize the threat posed by wildfires. Scott Stephens is a leading expert on fire science and director of the UCB Center for Fire Research and Outreach. Stephens’ research expertise and interests include fire management, forest ecosystems, and fire ecology. He is interested in the interactions of wildland fire and ecosystems, which includes how prehistoric fires once interacted with ecosystems, how current wildland fires are affecting ecosystems, and how future fires, changing climates, and management may change this interaction. Stephens also is interested in forest and fire policy and how it can be improved to meet the challenges of the next decades, both in the USA and internationally. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
