“California wildfires growing bigger, moving faster than ever.”

Jacob Bendix, professor of geography and the environment in the Maxwell School, was interviewed for the Associated Press’ article “California wildfires growing bigger, moving faster than ever.” Bendix, who is an expert on the geographic distribution of wildfires, says that the current day wildfires are unprecedented as there have been “multiple fires expand by tens of thousands of acres in a matter of hours, and 30 years or more ago that just wasn’t fire behavior that we saw.” The story was also carried by The Washington Post, Yahoo!News and U.S. News & World Report.
