Health in a Heating World (series) | Burnt Memory: Archaeology from a Climate Emergency Gideon Mendel and Jonathan Pierredon. “The Carr fire in 2018 was one of California’s most devastating wildfires ever, spreading across dry land and accelerated by a tornado. It destroyed 359 sq miles of land and forced 36,000 people to evacuate, and its smoke spread across five states. Eight people died. Rising temperatures and extreme weather events make fires like this an ever-greater threat to human life. Mendel worked with Pierredon to create tintype photos of damaged objects found in the ruins of people’s homes”. (Photo by Gideon Mendel and Jonathan Pierredon/Wellcome Photography Prize 2021)
