Trees burned by the Bush Creek East Wildfire are seen above Little Shuswap Lake in Squilax, B.C., on Sept. 11.Climate geoscientist Joseph Shea didn’t have to go far to find evidence of what he calls “exceptional” hot and dry weather in British Columbia this year.
Shea, an associate professor with the Department of Geography at the University of Northern British Columbia, said the drought in central a northeast B.C. is a “pretty critical situation.” Desrosiers said that in Prince George and further north it will take longer for fires to be fully extinguished because the layer of fuel between the surface and mineral soil can be thicker there.
Oliver Brandes, co-director of the University of Victoria’s POLIS Project on Ecological Governance, said drought was once considered a “short-term, temporary and unexpected” weather event in the province. Now it’s lasting longer and becoming more severe.
