Is there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires https://t.co/MRr4F9Q6ej
UC ANR Fire Network Director @lenyaqd talks to @NPR about W-TREX and how it serves as an opportunity for women in the $fire industry to network with each other and experience firefighting in a space that's mostly female.

This is a great story, and an example of why Cooperative Extension is such a unique asset in this space. We have a mutual commitment to primary research and to communication, but we’re pretty rare in that. So important. @UCsierraforest @lowseverityfire @UCANRpam@ucanr
UCLA scientist @Weather_West wants to keep helping people understand the climate crisis. He just can’t keep doing it for free.
I wrote for @latimes about the need to pay scientists — and journalists! — for telling the story of climate change: https://t.co/6VsvaVkVoE
“It totally substantiates what we already see on the ground and what we already know to be true, which is that low- to moderate-severity fire begets more of the same,” @lenyaqd, director of @ucanr Fire Network, tells @DanielleVenton@KQEDscience
Crews just completed the final blast on Copco 2 Dam & removed the remaining concrete from the riverbed! With the dam gone & diversion infrastructure removed, the Klamath River can now flow freely through 1.7 miles of canyon, which had been without water since dam construction 🙌
🔥 WTREX is part of a larger partnership within the movement for #GoodFire, known as The Fire Networks.
We recently launched a website, which includes info and resources about the partnership and each individual network.
