SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Invasive grasses in the southeastern United States
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss a variety of invasive grasses throughout the southeastern United States. Invasive grasses rapidly invade disturbed areas\, including pastures\, fallow fields\, forests\, and highway and powerline rights-of-way. Infestations can impact the diversity of native species\, reduce wildlife habitat\, and disrupt important ecosystem functions. Seeds are typically wind-dispersed\, but the plant can spread vegetatively through rhizomes (roots); these rhizomes can be spread to new places on vehicles and equipment. Seeds of many invasive grasses can remain viable in the soil for years. As such\, control of invasive grasses is difficult\, time-consuming\, and expensive\, involving a combination of mechanical and chemical treatments. \nNo registration is required. \nJoin the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: 3D Fuel Characterization for Improved Modeling of Wildland Fire Behavior and Smoke
DESCRIPTION:Rapid advancements in wildland fire modeling are promoting innovations in how we characterize and map wildland fuels. Before these models can be widely used\, more research on fuel characterization and mapping methods is needed to support 3D model inputs. The 3D Fuels Project is characterizing surface and canopy fuels on pine-dominated sites in the southeastern and western United States and western grasslands that represent fuels commonly characterized for prescribed burning. Through this project\, researchers are developing a library of tools and datasets to leverage multi-scale estimates of 3D fuel structure and consumption that can be used directly within models of fire behavior and smoke production. \nRegister for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Potential Applications of Prescribed Burn Associations for Family Forest Landowners
DESCRIPTION:Prescribed burn associations (PBAs) are cooperative units of private landowners that pool resources to achieve scale that allows them to overcome barriers to prescribed burning. PBAs are currently most common among ranchers in the Great Plains to manage grasslands\, however there is growing interest in the replication of PBAs to the application of family forest landowners in the eastern and western United States. This study identified major structural themes associated with PBAs in the United States and analyzed interactions between those themes using a strengths\, weaknesses\, opportunities\, and threats (SWOT) analysis framework. \nFollowing the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Air Sensor Performance Testing Protocols\, Metrics\, and Target Values for PM2.5 and Ozone
DESCRIPTION:Lower cost air sensor technologies have flooded the marketplace and are being rapidly adopted by state\, tribal and local agencies\, community scientists\, researchers\, health professionals\, schools\, and many others to measure air quality conditions. Common applications for air sensors include understanding air quality trends\, supplemental monitoring\, monitor siting\, identifying hot spots\, monitoring in remote locations\, personal monitoring\, and educational and environmental awareness. While air sensors have become more widespread\, it is commonly known that the data quality from these technologies is highly variable. Consistent testing protocols and target values have not been available to uniformly evaluate and compare different air sensor technologies to better understand their performance in real-world conditions. As a result\, there is a lack of confidence in data quality and in selecting sensors that best suit an application of interest. \n\nThis webinar will highlight two reports developed by EPA’s Office of Research and Development that outline recommended performance testing protocols\, metrics\, and target values for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) air sensors. The reports apply to the use of PM2.5 and O3 air sensor in non-regulatory supplemental and informational monitoring (NSIM) applications in ambient\, outdoor\, fixed site environments. The anticipated outcomes of this work are to: \n\nProvide a consistent approach for evaluating air sensor performance and reporting results;\nHelp the user community better understand sensor performance;\nAssist the user community in making informed decisions on choosing sensors that appropriately suit their NSIM application; and\nEncourage innovation and product improvement in the marketplace.\n\nRegister here.
