Fueling Collaboration 3.0: Fire and Water

Hosted by the Fueling Collaboration 3.0 team of partners from the eastern US Fire Science Exchange Networks and the USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station and Southern Research Station. Fueling Collaboration is a series of interactive panel discussions designed to connect fire managers and researchers. Each discussion will be built on questions from the registered attendees. The Fueling Collaboration 3.0 Team are working to bring people together to discuss, explore, and address the latest fire science and fire management issues across the eastern United States.More info here.

Fire and Water

Description: The changing climate is reshaping the balance of fire and water in eastern ecosystems. Drought alters soil structure and stability; combined with intense rainfall, this impacts hydrologic dynamics. This panel will explore the interconnections between fire, nutrient cycling, ecohydrology, and climate change.

Panel Moderated by: Stephanie Laseter, USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station

Steven Brantly, Ph.D., Joseph W. Jones Center at Ichauway
Kathy Hawes, MBA, Southeastern Partnership for Forests and Water
Randy Kolka, Ph.D., USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station
