FACTivity – Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire
SHARE
Results from “Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire” showed that specific climate conditions were linked to very large wildland fires. The link was most clear when analyzing biophysical observations. These biophysical observations are representations of environmental conditions, such as seasonal drought or fire danger, and are calculated using weather data. One of the biophysical observations was the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI).
In this FACTivity, you will answer the question: Are there patterns that show a relationship between PDSI and very large wildland fires in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge?
Materials:
- Pencils
