Why have wildfires gotten so severe lately? How can I help protect my home and community? Life With Fire podcast aims to answer these questions (and many others) while deepening our understanding of the critical role fire plays in America’s forests, lands and communities. Hosted by writer and former wildland firefighter Amanda Monthei, Life with Fire features interviews with everyone from scientists to fire management experts to Indigenous practitioners and folks doing the work on the ground. Through these interviews, Amanda hopes to explore our relationship with fire, as well as ways we can better coexist with it in the future.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999"},"episode":{"title":"Fire Technology, Emergency Management and Building Resilience at Scale With Dr. Jessica McCarty","slug":"fire-technology-emergency-management-and-building-resilience-at-scale-with-dr-jessica-mccarty","published_at":"2024-01-18T19:23:11+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999/fire-technology-emergency-management-and-building-resilience-at-scale-with-dr-jessica-mccarty","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999","url":"https://lifewithfire.simplecast.com/episodes/fire-technology-emergency-management-and-building-resilience-at-scale-with-dr-jessica-mccarty-0_RJj8x9","audio_url":"https://chrt.fm/track/3G5CD6/cdn.simplecast.com/audio/e64b7a70-510f-4a3b-8b79-94ad9ae877d7/episodes/af79e997-e9d9-494a-a0b8-de4a5438ddfe/audio/73943f4c-f67d-4d52-92e0-30dc86162818/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wMFLKTDa","summary":"In this episode, we spoke with Dr. Jessica McCarty—who is the Biospheric Sciences branch chief at NASA's Ames Research Center—about her career, her work on fire in boreal and arctic ecosystems, her perspectives on fire technology (spoiler: she's a bit fan of predictive modeling) and so many other topics that I couldn't possibly list them all here. Here's her NASA bio, which explains her background better than we ever possibly could: Dr. McCarty has more than 15 years’ experience in applications of Earth observations and geospatial and data science to accurately quantify wildland and human-caused fire management and emissions, agriculture and food security, climate change impacts and adaptation, and land-cover/land-use change.","meta_description":"In this episode, we spoke with Dr. Jessica McCarty—who is the Biospheric Sciences branch chief at NASA's Ames Research Center—about her career, her work o…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2772,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/life-with-fire-744999/episodes/fire-technology-emergency-management-and-building-resilience-at-scale-with-dr-jessica-mccarty/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999/fire-technology-emergency-management-and-building-resilience-at-scale-with-dr-jessica-mccarty.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
