GEOG 334 - The Geography of Fire

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
Fire has always been, and will always be a “hot” topic. This course will be one of the first of its kind offered at a university to both undergraduate and graduate students. It examines relationships between wildfire from a physical, biological and cultural perspective. Topics include: the chemistry and physics of fire, fire behavior (including the influences of fuel and weather), the ecological effects of fire, the cultural and institutional framework of fire management, and the cultural nature of wildfire in society.
