S14-S18.

Summary

The article discusses the study regarding the role of human-induced climate change on the fire season in Alaska in 2015. Topics discussed include the use of Buildup Index (BUI) to measure fire risk, the mixed precipitation trends, and the relation of wildfire risk with the preindustrial climate. It also mentioned the use of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model version 3 (GFDL CM3).
