FIRE 1220

Systems thinking is crucial in wildfire management as it helps understand the complex interactions within ecosystems, identify feedback loops, and predict the consequences of interventions. Students engage the principles and ideas of systems thinking and apply these concepts to the complex issue of wildfire management. Students learn to view wildfires as part of larger systems, identify feedback loops, understand system behaviors, and develop strategies for sustainable wildfire management. This holistic approach can enable the development of sustainable strategies, improve policy evaluation, and enhance resilience against future wildfire events.
