Video description: A. Park Williams, a man with a close haircut and short blonde beard wearing a light blue short-sleeved button up shirt, walks through a forested path and sits at a picnic table to discuss his research. He works on computer simulations and holds tree rings. We also see video of landscapes—both healthy and in climate disasters.
