Every year, for millennia, thousands of small fires and dozens of large ones break out in Canada\u2019s boreal forest. This will continue as long as people work, build, live, and play in the boreal forest. Disaster can strike when fires occur near populated areas. Last spring’s Fort McMurray wildfire was a reminder of how dangerous forest fires can be. It forced the unprecedented evacuation of 90,000 people, caused insured losses of over $3.5 billion, and dampened Canada’s GDP growth for 2016. Dr. Mike Flannigan will explain the current state of fire science and what it tells us about coexisting with fire in a flammable environment.<\/p>\n

Dr. Flannigan is a professor at the University of Alberta\u2019s Department of Renewable Resources and the director of the Western Partnership for Wildland Fire Science, a three-way partnership with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Natural Resources Canada, and the University of Alberta. He received his BSc in Physics from the University of Manitoba, his MSc in Atmospheric Sciences from Colorado State University, and his PhD in Plant Sciences from Cambridge University. Dr. Flannigan’s primary research interests include interactions between fire and the weather and climate, the potential impacts of climatic change, lightning-ignited forest fires, and landscape fire modelling. He has been studying fire for over 35 years and has published over 200 papers. Dr. Flannigan was the editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Wildland Fire (2002-2008) and has taken on leadership roles in activities related to understanding the global impacts of fire with the US National Assessment on Global Change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme\u2019s Fire Fast Track Initiative, and Global Change Terrestrial Ecosystems.<\/p>\n

This breakfast is sponsored by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.<\/p>\n

Chaque ann\u00e9e, et ce depuis des mill\u00e9naires, des milliers de petits feux et des dizaines de gros feux se d\u00e9clarent dans la for\u00eat bor\u00e9ale au Canada. Et cela continuera tant que les gens travailleront, b\u00e2tiront des structures, vivront et s\u2019amuseront dans la for\u00eat bor\u00e9ale. Un incendie d\u00e9sastreux peut toujours survenir. Les feux qui ont s\u00e9vi \u00e0 Fort McMurray au printemps dernier nous rappellent \u00e0 quel point les feux de for\u00eat peuvent \u00eatre dangereux. Ils ont entra\u00een\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e9vacuation sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent de 90 000 personnes, caus\u00e9 des pertes non assurables d\u2019une valeur de 3,5 milliards de dollars et fait reculer le PIB canadien en 2016. Au cours de son expos\u00e9, Mike Flannigan fera le point sur l\u2019\u00e9tat actuel de la science des incendies et parlera de la cohabitation avec le feu dans des paysages inflammables.<\/p>\n

M. Flannigan est professeur au D\u00e9partement des ressources renouvelables de la University of Alberta et directeur du Western Partnership for Wildland Fire Science (un partenariat tripartite avec Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Ressources naturelles Canada et la University of Alberta). Il est titulaire d\u2019un baccalaur\u00e9at en physique de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Manitoba, d\u2019une ma\u00eetrise en sciences de l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re de la Colorado State University et d\u2019un doctorat en phytologie de la Cambridge University. Ses principaux int\u00e9r\u00eats de recherche sont centr\u00e9s sur les interactions entre le feu et les conditions m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques et climatiques, y compris les r\u00e9percussions \u00e9ventuelles de l\u2019\u00e9volution du climat, les feux de for\u00eat allum\u00e9s par la foudre et la mod\u00e9lisation des feux \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle du paysage. Il \u00e9tudie les feux depuis plus de 35 ans et a publi\u00e9 plus de 200 articles. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9dacteur en chef de l\u2019International Journal of Wildland Fire (de 2002 \u00e0 2008) et il a assum\u00e9 un r\u00f4le de leadership dans des activit\u00e9s relatives aux r\u00e9percussions \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle mondiale des feux dans le cadre de la National Assessment on Global Change (\u00c9tats-Unis), de l\u2019Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change et du Programme international g\u00e9osph\u00e8re-biosph\u00e8re, plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment de l\u2019initiative acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e concernant le feu et du Programme de recherche sur les transformations plan\u00e9taires et les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes terrestres.<\/p>\n
