Farmers in Borneo, Indonesia, have long drained and burned the region's peat swamps to create farmland for growing food. But the highly flammable peat causes many of these fires to burn out of control. In a project led by Columbia University's International Research Institute for Climate and Society, Indonesians are now using climate prediction techniques to forecast fire risk during the dry season so they can better prevent wildfires.
