Spring is upon us, and with the change in seasons comes a heightened risk of wildfires igniting due to high wind and drought in our state. Last month, Santa Fe Fire Department Chief Brian Moya joined “Conversations Different” to discuss what homeowners in the Santa Fe area can do to prevent wildfires from destroying their personal property. This week, we welcome Dr. Adam Atchley, a hydrologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who researches wildland fire, hydrology and ecosystem response to climate change, to discuss the science behind wildfires. Dr. Atchley offers insight into his team’s research methods like using Artificial Intelligence data mapping to better understand forests’ structures and how the team can use those models to prevent wildfire catastrophe.
