In-Person Presentation | Fire in the Sonoran Desert: An Overview of a Changing Landscape

Join Dr. Benjamin Wilder, Director and Co-founder of Next Generation of Sonoran Desert Researchers (N-Gen), to learn about the expansion of the grass-fire cycle in North American deserts. This change is driving ecosystems to change from patchy desert scrub to grasslands made up of invasive plants. This lecture will explore the history and trends of fire in the Sonoran Desert, how land management in this area is changing, and possible future conservation strategies.

N-Gen is part of a renewed effort to create a multinational interdisciplinary investigator community aimed at collective work and strategy implementation.
