SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Flash Drought Webinar Series: Current Understanding and Future Priorities
DESCRIPTION:Droughts are often categorized as ‘flash’ droughts when they develop or intensify in a matter of weeks (though defining flash droughts continues to be an area of active debate). The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and the National Weather Service (NWS) are pleased to announce a series of three webinars to help climate professionals and operational service providers better understand this phenomenon\, its defining characteristics and how it varies by region and season\, its impacts on agricultural and other stakeholders\, and the potential for improved monitoring\, prediction\, and planning/response tools (datasets\, maps\, etc.). \nThis webinar\, the second in the series\, will showcase the following presentations and discussion by NIDIS staff on key takeaways from the December 2020 Workshop\, with an emphasis on priority activities to advance flash drought monitoring\, prediction\, and planning/response. \nNIDIS Flash Drought Workshop: Key Takeaways and Priorities – Joel Lisonbee and Molly Woloszyn\, NOAA-NIDIS\nAdditional reflections on the workshop and on priority actions to advance flash drought research:\nMike Hobbins\, NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory\nAmanda Cravens\, USGS Fort Collins Science Center \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Potential Impacts of Prescribed Fire Smoke on Air Quality\, Public Health\, and Socially Vulnerable Populations in the Southeastern U.S.
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from North Carolina State University\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected. \nPresenters: \nSadia Afrin\, Graduate Research Assistant\,\nDept. of Civil\, Construction & Environmental Engineering\, North Carolina State University \nFernando Garcia Menendez\, Assistant Professor\nDepartment of Civil\, Construction\, and Environmental Engineering\, North Carolina State University \nRegister here. \nWebinar Description: While prescribed fire is an essential land management tool in the Southeast\, its impacts on air quality and public health remain uncertain. This webinar will cover a recent project that used burn permit records\, air quality modelling\, and epidemiological associations between fine particulate matter concentrations and multiple health endpoints to examine these impacts\, with a focus on case studies in Georgia and North Carolina. Results show not only potential health impacts from prescribed fire\, but call for greater attention to the characterization of prescribed fire impacts\, potential air quality benefits of land treatment\, and the communities most exposed to fire-related smoke. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speakers.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Optimizing Ecosystem Services from Longleaf Pine: Balancing Carbon Sequestration with Watershed Health
DESCRIPTION:Longleaf pine forest conservation and restoration are critical priorities for protecting threatened and endangered species\, and can also benefit landowners interested in improving game habitat. Restoring and managing frequent-fire longleaf pine may also benefit water yield\, or the quantity of rainfall that makes it into streams\, rivers\, and groundwater. This webinar will summarize evidence that fire-managed longleaf pine forests consume less water than other forest types in the southeast\, and has potential to improve water yield in southeastern watersheds. Potential tradeoffs of longleaf pine management for water yield\, such as reduced carbon sequestration\, will be presented. Balancing carbon and water benefits will be discussed in the context of the latest available science on forest carbon and water\, and the relative value of these important ecosystem services at local\, national\, and global scales. \nNo registration required\, join the webinar here.
