SUMMARY:When the Smoke Clears – Forest Fires in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:In the spring and early summer of 2023\, smoke from boreal fore
 st fires severely impacted regions of North America that rarely experience
  it. Millions of people in the northeast United States and eastern Canada 
 were affected by smoke in a manner that is much more familiar to residents
  of western North America\, contributing to disruptions to outdoor activit
 ies and widespread adverse health effects. Join this lunch-time presentati
 on with Dr. Joseph Charney (Research Meteorologist with the US Forest Serv
 ice\, Northern Research Station) to review the events of this spring\, dis
 cuss the precursors and drivers of the 2023 smoke event\, highlight existi
 ng and emerging smoke forecasting technologies\, and discuss how changes i
 n climate and society could play a role in smoke from wildland fires in th
 e future.\n\nOpen to people 18 and older. Lunch is provided\, but registra
 tion is required. If you register and cannot attend\, please contact the M
 useum to cancel your reservation\, so we can open it to someone else.\n\nR
