Let’s sit down with Max Moritz, a Wildfire Specialist and Director of the Moritz Lab at U.C. Santa Barbara to discuss the environmental lessons of the shelter-in-place, compound disturbances in ecology, long-term planning for the state, and more.

#58 COVIDCalls 6.3.2020 - The Pandemic & Wildfire

Max Moritz  regales Mike with some of the many intricacies of modern fire science.  The dominant narrative in the Western US might be “long-term fire  suppression is leading to severe fire seasons”. While there is some  truth here, the individual fire stories are, inevitably, local. Local  land use practices, building codes, vegetation stress, and climate  change all conspire to make any one explanation … less than convincing.  As Max tells it, we need to accept fire as part of our human system, and  move towards a more active role in planning our future co-existence.
