Weiskittel speaks to PPH about forest fires
The Portland Press Herald interviewed Aaron Weiskittel, director of the Center for Research on Sustainable Forests and professor of forest biometrics and modeling at the University of Maine, for an article about research looking at how wildfire smoke fuels climate change. Weiskittel told the PPH that while Maine will be impacted by the smoke produced elsewhere, and the resulting warming effects, Maine itself is not facing as much climate-driven wildfire risk as other parts of the country.
