Students develop an understanding and awareness of the role fire plays in ecosystems, communities, species, and human society. Students examine key elements of fire, specifically, how it interacts with abiotic and biotic environments, its importance in historical, social, and political contexts, and fire management, as it applies to British Columbia and other regions of Canada. Students receive hands-on experience with fire behaviour modelling, and conduct field activities to assess fuel management and wildland urban interface threat.
Prerequisite: NRSC 2100 or Permission of the Natural Resource Science program coordinator.
