UCSB researchers use computer models to study wildfires
2:18 California's 2020 wildfire season burned more than four million acres and broke numerous records for increased size and intensity, according to a recent report from the state’s Forest Management Task Force. Understanding these changes in wildfire activity is what UCSB Professor Naomi Tague studies in her lab. “I develop mathematical computer simulation models that take remote sensing data, take what we learn from field scientists and put it all together, so we can start to get a handle on how climate change affects the environment,” Tague said. Tague looks at how climate, water, ve...
