"Hot Topic: Wildlife Responses to Changes in California Fire Regimes"
Kendall Lee Calhoun, PhD candidate in UC Berkeley's Brashares Lab, Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management
See wildfires in a whole new way in this talk by UC Berkeley's Kendall Lee Calhoun, who's studying where California wildfires are distributed across the state, and using a range of monitoring tools—camera traps, GPS collaring, and acoustic monitoring—to examine how individual species are responding to those fires. Hear about some of this subject's biggest questions (How are fires altering what wildlife communities look like?) and biggest issues (forest management alone can't address the threat of megafires) from a researcher working to understand and increase the resilience of California nature.
