CEE Adjunct Professor Thomas Kirchstetter was appointed Director of ETA's Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Kirchstetter had served as acting director since June 2017. He is also head of the Sustainable Energy and Environmental Systems Department, and for the Sustainable Energy Systems Group.
Alumna Gabrielle Boisramé (CE PhD '16) authored A Tale of Two Fires: How Wildfires Can Both Help and Harm our Water Supply (California WaterBlog, 12.3.17).
Professor Sally Thompson was asked, "So are wet winters worse for fires? Or are dry winters worse?"
The answer to both questions, is yes.
“Regardless of winter precipitation, wildland fuels inevitably are desiccated and ready to burn by late summer and fall,” Thompson says. “The risk is better calculated from a daily rather than an annual perspective—what the humidity is, and what the winds are doing on a particular day."
