My research is related to the possibility of more severe and more frequent wildfire potential as the result of rising temperatures and increased drought, in the Uinta Mountains, Utah. I am observing the Medieval Climate Anomaly (800-1200 A.D.) when climactic conditions similar to those seen today and continuing into our near future post significant risk, and deserve our attention. Through a detailed analysis of lakebed sediments for particulate charcoal, I reconstruct past wildfire conditions.
