Nick is coming from the College of William and Mary to join the Bates Earth and Climate Sciences department this year.  For this project, Nick will work with collaborators at Auburn University and the University of Rhode Island to investigate the connection between changes in climate and wildfires in the northeast U.S during the Holocene period.  The data will be compared with current climate changes to develop predictions for future fire potential.
