ES 130 - Living with Fire in the Rogue Valley

3 credits
We live in a landscape shaped by fire. In this course we will explore the impact of wildfire on our local Rogue Valley ecosystems and communities, and how our actions impact fire dynamics and behavior. We will examine the role of fire in Southern Oregon natural areas from forests to grasslands, and its impact on our air, water, and health. We will also discuss past and ongoing work to help our communities recover from fires, and make them more resilient to future fires.
