Taos Champions! The Cafe Scientifique NM team is hosting a statewide virtual café focused on wildfires. This relevant café will focus on predicting a fire's movement using computer modeling, which then influences how a wildfire may be controlled. The event will be hosted on Zoom Webinar.
WHEN: Thursday, March 11th @ 6:00PM

Virtual Café Event Description:
The western states have all been affected by intense wildfires in recent years, whether by the smoke emitted from fire hundreds of miles away, the immediate threat of wildfires to our communities or valued natural resources, or the evacuation of friends and family from threatened areas.

This virtual café explores the application of computer modeling as a new tool to help fire fighters predict the spread of wildfires and thus help them bring these devastating fires under control.
