SUMMARY:Life from the Ashes: Exploring the Impact of Prescribed & Natural Fire on Insects and Other Invertebrates
DESCRIPTION:Ecosystems throughout North America evolved with wildfire.  Today\, prescribed fire is an important tool for managing habitat by maintaining open\, early-seral landscapes. Fire can greatly improve the value of habitat for insects and other invertebrates\, often increasing species abundance and diversity\, however\, fire (both natural and prescribed) in the wrong place\, at the wrong scale\, or at the wrong time can have the opposite effect—damaging native plant and invertebrate communities which may take decades to fully recover. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Event: Workshop on Fire Weather and Forecasting
DESCRIPTION:The workshop is designed to bring together diverse multi-disciplinary communities working in research on operational forecasting and impacts of fire weather\, communicating risks of fire weather\, economic impacts of fire\, and strategies for land management and prevention of fire. The workshop is organized around four themes: 1) fire forecasting; 2) subseasonal to seasonal variation of and climatology of fires; 3) tools\, operational needs\, emergency management and communication; and 4) impacts/land management/ecology. Overview talks on the first day of the workshop are designed to emphasize what is state of art in each theme\, what are existing problems and uncertainties in each theme\, what are impediments to solving those problems or reducing uncertainties\, and what resources are needed to overcome those uncertainties. Some topics are covered by multiple speakers in order to hear a diversity of opinions. A poster session combined with a reception on the first evening will ensure that all workshop participants are able to present their views on the relevant topic areas. \nHosted by: Cooperative Institute for Severe and High Impact Weather Research and Operations (CIWRO)\, University of Oklahoma (OU) School of Meteorology (SoM)\, the Oklahoma Mesonet\, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC)\, the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) and Weather Forecast Office (WFO) Norman \nZoom link: https://oklahoma.zoom.us/j/2785936663?pwd=UFNlSnZ0RHRYVmVIbHFzQlExbmtaUT09 \nWorkshop Schedule: Workshop on Fire Weatherv2 (pdf)

SUMMARY:18th International Congress of Combustion By-Products and their Health Effects
DESCRIPTION:The International Congress on Combustion By-Products and Their Health Effects (also known as “The PIC Congress”) provides a unique platform for discussion between chemists\, engineers\, toxicologists\, and biomedical researchers regarding the most pressing issues related to combustion pollutants and their associated health impacts. Combustion-derived pollutants are recognized as one of the primary causes of environmental degradation and human health effects. The first PIC Congress was organized in 1990 at the National Institute of Health facility in Bethesda\, MD\, USA. The Congress is now a biennial event held in international locations such as Germany\, Sweden\, China\, and South Korea.  In 2022 it was held in the United Kingdom and in 2024 we are excited to host the 18th International Congress in the United States. \nThis year the Congress will begin with Registration and a Welcome Reception on the evening of Sunday\, May 19th\, 2024.

These thematic sessions will include the following: \n1. Wildland fires– fate & transport of combustion byproducts; firefighter health risks \n2. Community based research at the Wildland Urban Interface \n3. Air quality monitoring following the East Palestine\, OH Train Derailment Research \n4. Community based research in East Palestine\, OH \n5. New and emerging combustion pollutants

SUMMARY:7th National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The International Association of Wildland Fire in partnership with the Wildland Fire Leadership Council (WFLC) and its three regional strategy committees\, invite you to save the date for the  7th Annual National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy Workshop\, September 16-19\, 29024 in Atlantic City\, New Jersey.  \nWFLC has affirmed that the Cohesive Strategy remains the solid framework by which all stakeholders can address barriers and identify solutions and actions for today’s complex wildland fire issues. The Cohesive Strategy Addendum Update was released earlier this year and provides a strategic look at the critical emphasis areas and key implementation challenges which were not addressed or have surfaced in the ten years since the development of the original 2014 Cohesive Strategy framework. \nThis event will take advantage of the unique opportunity to utilize the collective voice and brain trust of Workshop attendees to identify solutions and actions for barriers you’re experiencing\, as well as for the Critical Emphasis Areas and Challenges outlined in the Cohesive Strategy Addendum that are keeping us from implementing the Cohesive Strategy at scale. The WFLC and its Western\, Northeastern and Southeastern Regions will be pursuing these actions following the Workshop to help overcome barriers and provide further support for implementation of the Cohesive Strategy.
