The forests in tropical Asia provide clean drinking water, food, shelter and much more to hundreds of millions of people, but climate change and human activity are affecting fire activity in the region. Rebecca Hamilton, postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute, will deliver a talk titled "Fire dynamics in tropical Asia: from the Pleistocene to the Anthropocene" at 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 1. The talk, which is free and open to the public, takes place via Zoom.
