There is a new technology that helps in the fight against wildfires. ALERTCalifornia is a wireless network at the University of California San Diego that uses 1,000 cameras to monitor wildfire activities in California. This system could be used here in Canada. It can recognize early ignition and alert services of potential wildfires. Dr. Neil Driscoll, professor of geology and geophysics at the University of California and Director of ALERTCalifornia, joins Gormley to discuss the benefits of this system. Gormley

Gormley - Dr. Neil Driscoll - May 18th, 2023

Neil grew up sailing in the UK and quickly became accustomed to the range of weather conditions that it serves up. By the time he was a few months old, he completed his first English Channel crossing. He fell into maritime training as a teenager at his local sailing club, before emigrating to Australia and launching his own Sydney based training company 'Above and Beyond Boating'.  Unlike some of the monotonous "death by powerpoint" courses that are run, Neil decided to pioneer a different approach to training through real life scenario, video based training, that people could complete remotely. When COVID came along, this went from a great idea to the "only show in town" as the traditional classroom trainers, shelved most of their courses for 2 years. Neil shares some great lessons from his decades clocking up tens of thousands of miles at sea and provides some great insights into the simple safety things we take forgranted.
