DESCRIPTION:David Battisti (Professor of Atmospheric Sciences\, and Tamaki 
 Endowed Chair\, University of Washington)\n\n \n\nThe annual forested area
  that has burned in the western US has increased markedly in the past 40 y
 ears. Here we examine the causes and present 25-year projections of future
  area burned due to climate change\, including the potential for fire-fuel
  feedbacks to limit future fire area burned.\n\n \n\nDavid Battisti is The
  Tamaki Endowed Chair of Atmospheric and Climate Science at the University
  of Washington. His research includes understanding how the interactions b
 etween the ocean\, atmosphere\, land and sea ice lead to variability in cl
 imate on time scales from seasonal to decades. His previous research inclu
 des coastal oceanography\, the physics of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation
  (ENSO) phenomenon\, and paleoclimate dynamics. He is presently working to
  better understand variability in the midlatitude atmosphere/ocean/land sy
 stem\, to develop a physical theory for heat waves and extreme temperature
 s\, and to better understand the monsoons. He is also working on the impac
 ts of climate variability and climate change on global food production in 
 developing countries and on forest fires in the western US.
