SUMMARY:Partner Event: Fire Across Grasslands Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Fire Across the Grasslands – What Are We Managing For? \nGrasslands in the Great Plains and Midwest are at constant risk from invasion by woody species. Conversion to deciduous woodlands and forests is already widespread in the Midwest and the southern Great Plains. This discussion focuses on the many ways that fire is essential to grasslands and the people who live there. Panel members will address: \n\nthe role of fire in resisting invasion by woody species;\nmanaging reconstructed prairies;\npromoting diverse plant communities and healthy wildlife populations; and\nrelevance to people from ranching communities to urban areas.\n\nPanelists include: \n\nPauline Drobney – Prairie and Savanna Zone Biologist\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (retired)\nDwayne Elmore – Professor\, Wildlife Extension Specialist\, and Bollenbach Chair in Wildlife Biology in the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Oklahoma State University\nMatthew Garrett – Natural Resource Manager\, Johnson County Park & Recreation District\, Shawnee Mission\, Kansas\nDoug Spencer – State Grazing Specialist – Kansas\, Natural Resource Conservation Service\nAmy Symstad –  Research Ecologist and Chief of the Climate and Land-use Branch for the USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center\n\nThe sessions are hosted by the Tallgrass Prairie and Oak Savanna Fire Science Consortium and Great Plains Fire Science Exchange. They are facilitating these conversations to improve information flows and help connect people to colleagues and relevant experts outside of their usual circles. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System version 5.4
DESCRIPTION:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar:\nThe Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System (version 5.4)\nWednesday\, January 18\, 2023\n3-4 pm ET\nThe Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System is EPA’s premier modeling system for studying air pollution from global to local scales. For nearly a quarter century\, EPA\, states and tribes have used CMAQ to support air quality management. CMAQ is continually updated to incorporate new knowledge on the state-of-the science to provide a powerful computational tool for translating fundamental atmospheric science principles to policy scenarios. In October 2022\, CMAQ version 5.4 (CMAQv5.4) was publicly released. CMAQv5.4 introduces the Community Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Multiphase Model (CRACMM)\, an innovative new approach to describe atmospheric chemistry. Other new features include an improved model for aerosol dry deposition and expanded options for modeling biogenic emissions. These advances target better representation of key environmental conditions important for polluted areas of the United States. CMAQv5.4 also offers improved efficiency and accuracy of CMAQ model extensions for calculating source attribution and sensitivity analyses\, as well as updates to multiple diagnostic\, visualization\, and analysis tools for probing and evaluating model estimates. This presentation will provide an overview of the CMAQ modeling system and detail some of the major updates in the latest version of the model. More information and registration
