Detailed Description

Dr. Adam Young is a member of the inaugural 2021-2022 "Future of Fire" cohort in the CASC Network Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral Fellows Program. He is working with the Alaska CASC at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Adam's research interests are broadly focused on understanding how weather and climate impact terrestrial ecosystems. Adam obtained a B.S. in Environmental Biology from SUNY ESF in 2011. He then went on to earn an M.S. in Statistics and a Ph.D. in Natural Resources from the University of Idaho in 2018. His dissertation used large-scale spatial analysis to study how fire regimes in Alaska respond to changes in climate and vegetation. Since 2018, Adam has lived in Flagstaff AZ, working as a postdoc at Northern Arizona University studying land-atmosphere interactions. In his free time, Adam enjoys spending being outside, including trail running, backpacking, and camping.

CAP Future of Fire Cohort (2020-2022)

The inaugural 2021-2023 Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows cohort explores the many ways climate change is altering wildland fire regimes across the country, combining their diverse experiences to synthesize how 21st century fires affect natural and human communities and how managers can prepare for future fires.

Future of Fire in Alaska: Towards a National Synthesis of Wildland Fire Under a Changing Climate

Forecasting fires in Alaska are, like anywhere else, “wicked problems” as wildfires arise from complex, climatically-driven social-environmental systems. However, given Alaska’s unique human and environmental histories and rapidly changing climate, the region features a combination of factors that may not exist anywhere else in the network. A useful fire synthesis for Alaska must, at the same time
