Fulminology (LIGHTNING) with Chris Giesige

Alan Peterson

Whether you live in Southern California like me, or somewhere else, you may be aware of all the fires we keep getting down here. What's the deal with those, and what can we do to prevent them? Are prescribed burns a good idea? In other words, should we deliberately start fires? Let's talk about this with wildfire expert Chris Giesige! There's a lot to learn regarding the history of wildfires, and steps we need to take in the present to work and live with fire. Moderator Alan Peterson joins us, and there is much fun to be had. Guest: Chris Giesige Moderator: Alan Peterson All music created by Simulated Sun: www.simulatedsun.com Check out educational tutorials by Professor Dave: www.professordaveexplains.com
