SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Air Quality and Healthy Hearts - Progress and Remaining Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Host: US EPA Air and Energy Research Program\n \nPresenters: Dr. Wayne Cascio\, director of EPA’s Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment (CPHEA)\, Dr. Ana Rappold\, CPHEA statistician\, and Dr. Cavin Ward-Caviness\, CPHEA computational biologist. \nAbstract:  EPA’s Office of Research and Development\, Air and Energy National Research Program is working to assess the impact and improve our understanding of air pollution morbidity and mortality in vulnerable populations\, including individuals with cardiovascular disease. Exposure to airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with adverse cardiovascular health events including heart attacks\, stroke\, and death―particularly among those with pre-existing conditions. However\, a better understanding of the relationship between air pollution and cardiovascular health is needed to develop strategies to protect vulnerable people with heart and vascular disease. \nThis webinar provides an overview of newly published research by EPA scientists and their colleagues that helps fill key knowledge gaps. The findings\, published in leading scientific journals\, offer new insights into the progress made to protect at-risk individuals with chronic health problems. The research also identifies remaining environmental health challenges\, such as determining risks faced from sustained exposure to elevated PM2.5 from wildfire smoke\, which is being observed due to more frequent and larger wildland fires in the United States. \n\nAdditional information about the webinar can be found here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: QUIC-Fire: A Fast-Running Simulation Tool for Prescribed Fire Planning
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from Los Alamos National Lab\, US Forest Service Southern Research Station\, Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nPresenters: Rodd Linn\, Ph.D.\, Los Alamos National Lab\, Scott Goodrick\, Ph.D.\, USFS Southern Research Station\, and Kevin Hiers\, Tall Timbers Research Station \nWebinar Description: Recent advances in wildland fire behavior models (e.g. FIRETEC) utilizing high spatial and temporal resolution fluid dynamics calculations have facilitated complex modeling of fire-atmospheric feedbacks. Unfortunately this fire modeling approach requires exceptional computational resources that are unlikely to be available to most wildland fire managers. QUIC-Fire is a new physics-based cellular automata fire spread tool that that offers advanced fire modeling capabilities without the demand for extraordinary computational resources. QUIC-Fire is a new step towards expanding next generation fire model access to a wider audience of practitioners and users.  Following the webinar there will be time reserved for audience questions. \nFor more information: \nCheck out a QUIC-Fire YouTube video from Los Alamos National Lab.\nRead the March 2020 QUIC-Fire publication in the journal Environmental Modeling and Software. \nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Fighting Fire with Fire: Restoring Traditional Indigenous Practices for Ecological Stewardship
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Law Institute Webinar: Fighting Fire with Fire: Restoring Traditional Indigenous Practices for Ecological Stewardship \nPanelists:\nCynthia R. Harris\, Director\, Tribal Programs; Deputy Director\, Center for State\, Tribal\, and Local Environmental Programming\, Staff Attorney\, Environmental Law Institute\, Moderator\nMichael Connor\, Partner\, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP\nFrank Lake\, Research Ecologist\, US Forest Service\nMatthew S. Reischman\, Assistant Deputy Director\, Resource Protection\, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection\nBill Tripp\, Deputy Director of Eco-Cultural Revitalization\, Karuk Tribe Department of Natural Resources \nWebinar Description: In 2018\, six wildfires in California caused approximately $12 billion in property damage and tragically claimed over a hundred lives. As climate change continues to drive hotter\, drier\, and more combustible conditions\, the fire season in the western portion of the United States is becoming longer\, more intense\, and costlier. \nFor millennia\, indigenous peoples have used prescribed fires – intentionally setting precisely timed\, low-intensity fires to clear biomass – as a means to manage forest ecosystems as well as being an important cultural practice. Historically\, as non-indigenous people expanded westward\, state and federal authorities effectively banned tribes from this practice. \nClick here to Register by May 19 \nFor more information Click here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Longleaf Pine Forest Patch Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Kevin Robertson\, Ph.D.\, Fire Ecology Program Director\, Tall Timbers Research Station\, Tallahassee\, FL. \nWebinar Description: It has long been observed that longleaf pine juveniles (between the “grass stage” near the ground to about head-high) tend to become established in dense clusters limited to open areas away from canopy trees. Recent detailed fire history mapping efforts at the Wade Tract in south Georgia\, have shown that longleaf pine regeneration tends to occur within canopy gaps that experience lower fire frequency and severity. This research has implications for fire management for longleaf pine regeneration\, suggesting that burning under conditions that allow for some patchiness following longleaf mast years (abundant seed production) is important for natural recruitment. \nFollowing the webinar there will be time reserved for audience questions. \nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: The Case for Prescribed Fire Science
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Morgan Varner\, Ph.D.\, Tall Timbers Research Station\, Tallahassee\, FL \nWebinar Description: Recently and historically the majority of wildland fire science funding and research have focused on addressing questions associated with managing and responding to uncontrolled wildfires. Across the world there exists a strong demand for new science that can address basic and applied research needs associated with prescribed fires. Fundamental questions related to prescribed fire behavior\, fire effects\, smoke\, and social science require new research efforts to meet the growing needs of prescribed fire managers\, air quality regulators and community decision-makers. This webinar will highlight the differences between wildfire science and prescribed fire science and will discuss strategies and opportunities for moving forward. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nFollowing the webinar there will be time reserved for audience questions. \nFor more information read the March 2020 publication (open access) in the journal Fire Ecology. \nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Listening to the Flow - Discoveries from Wildland Fire Acoustics
DESCRIPTION:Host: Lake States Fire Science Consortium \nPresenter: Kara Yedinak\, Forest Products Lab\, USDA – Forest Service \nAbstract: Sound is a fundamental part of our experience when interacting with the world around us. So fundamental in fact\, that we often forget to question what it is we are hearing. Our long relationship with all aspects of fire\, including the sounds of fire\, are deeply intuitive and yet elusive. What is creating the crackling sound we hear when vegetation burns? What is it really telling us about the exchange between vegetation and fire? What is making all that “noise” near a fire that causes us to raise our voices as we work or turn to observe with a fresh sense of alert concern? What sounds are involved that lead to a safe or unsettling feeling around wildland fire? In this webinar\, I will take a deep dive into the crackling sound of fire; what is this sound really telling us\, where is it coming from\, and what else is going on besides what we hear?

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Statutory\, Regulatory and Legal Constraints on Prescribed Fire in the USA
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from the University of Nebraska\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Carissa Wonkka\, Ph.D.\, Postdoctoral Research Associate\, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture\, University of Nebraska\, Lincoln\, NE \nWebinar Description: While fire is recognized as necessary to maintain many of the ecosystem services humans depend on\, policies and laws often pose impediments to conducting prescribed fires. Maintaining appropriate fire return intervals for fully functioning ecosystems can be difficult for a variety of reasons. Laws and regulations can place limitations on both the timing and extent of prescribed burning. In this webinar\, Dr. Wonkka will present an overview of the legislative and legal landscape facing prescribed burners. She will also present data showing how different statutory configurations can alter the amount prescribed fire applied on private land. Following the webinar there will be time reserved for audience questions. \nRegistration required. See Registration Link below.
