• KITP Fosters Collaboration Between Physicists and Ecologists That Leads to Crucial New Insights Into the Role of Fire in Climate Change

  An article, “Fire in the Earth System,” published in the April 24, 2009 issue of “Science,” calls for the dynamic incorporation of fire as both an effect and a cause in models of global climate and its change. The article’s insights came from a workshop on fire ecology that occurred in the summer of 2008 as part of the KITP program “The Physics of Climate Change.” [Full story]
