In our opening episode Emily Barnett and Matt Kaufmann discuss the current environmental and man-made conditions that contribute to an intensifying fire season in California as well as the policy decisions that impact wildfire management. Wendell Gilgert of Point Blue Conservation Sciences shares with us his experiences executing controlled burns to reduce the risk of deadly wildfires. Later, we hear from Professor Allison Cullen of the University of Washington Evans School of Public Policy, whose current convergence research brings together various stakeholders from the science and public sectors to develop tools to help us better coordinate wildfire management. Her work supported by the National Science Foundation's Convergence Research team has made great strides thanks to the collaboration of UW and UC Merced faculty and students, as well as climate scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Science.
