Predicting fire seasons flyerIt’s no easy task to forecast fire activity across a whole summer, and climate change can throw a proverbial monkey wrench into the works. But that’s not stopping researchers like Uma Bhatt, professor of atmospheric science. Grab a beer and join Bhatt at the Pub for an engaging presentation and discussion about the ways scientists predict fire seasons and about how they’re adding changing climate to the mix.

This event will take place Wednesday, April 17, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. There is no cover charge but participants must be 21 or older to enter the Pub.

This is the first in a series of Science Pubs and Cafes, sponsored by the Alaska NSF EPSCoR program, which will feature UA scientists informally discussing their research in casual settings.
