- “Fire is natural and necessary for forest health in California, but human-caused climate change is increasing wildfire above natural levels,” said lead author @pgonzaleztweet. Read more about the park-specific findings that could better inform land management decisions.New @NatureAtCal research indicates that continued climate change could severely increase wildfire above natural levels at national parks. The study offers park managers data to reduce risks by using intentional fires to reduce the vegetation that can fuel more destructive
- New research co-authored by Tamma Carleton in @AreBerkeley on the role climate change has played—and will continue to play—in the spread of childhood malaria across Africa.🚨 New Report: Climate change has increased malaria & could continue to do so in South/East Africa where communities are less experienced at tackling the disease, while reducing the risk in today’s hotspots as temperatures become too high for mosquitoes. impactlab.org/news-insights/…
