SUMMARY:Phenology of Fire: Listening to the Plants and Animals (Fueling Collaboration Panel Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nClick here to register for the Fueling Collaboration Panel Discussion:\nPhenology of Fire: Listening to the Plants and Animals.\n  \nSeason of fire. Opening the burn window. Both of these focus on one of the elements that make up a fire regime – frequency\, intensity/severity\, extent/scale\, and seasonality. Decades of spring-and/or autumn-centric fire can cause a site or landscape to respond very differently than when burned repeatedly across all flammable seasons. Summer burns can produce differing fire effects including increased species richness averages\, biomass\, and stem counts (especially forbs)\, and breaking up the plant species dominance resulting from dormant season burn windows. Panelists will bring fresh voices to how we can learn from listening to our fire-dependent plants and animals and let the fire effects lead us toward desired outcomes. \n  \n\nPanel Includes:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Brian Sturtevant (Moderator)Dr. Brian Sturtevant is a Research (Landscape) Ecologist with Northern Research Station of the US Forest Service in Rhinelander\, Wisconsin\, where he has worked for 21 years.  His expertise lies in broad-scale interdisciplinary investigations of forest dynamics and disturbance ecology\, with an emphasis on fire and insect disturbance\, using a combination of field study\, analyses of spatial datasets\, and landscape simulation modeling.  His specific fire expertise includes human drivers of fire ignitions\, fire severity assessments and mapping\, and vegetative response to both wildfire and controlled burning. He also serves on the advisory board and technical committee for the landscape disturbance and succession model\, LANDIS-II. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Todd Aschenbach (Panelist)Dr. Todd Aschenbach is a professor of natural resources management at Grand Valley State University in West Michigan.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Multi-fidelity Coupled Fire/Atmosphere Modeling to Support Proactive Approaches to Wildland Fire
DESCRIPTION:Host: USGS Widland Fire Science Webinar Series \nDate: Tuesday\, October 10th at 3pm ET \nSpeaker: Dr. Rod Linn\, Team Leader\, Atmospheric Modeling and Weapons Phenomenology\, Los Alamos National Laboratory \nSummary: As the fire community looks towards proactive approaches to manage the growing challenges of wildland fire\, the importance of science-based decision support is increasing. In wildland fire and land management\, the decision space is different when determining proactive management strategies compared with reactive crisis management\, just as they are in any field.  There is an expectation that decision makers have weighed the pros and cons of their action (or lack of action) and are optimizing their actions to meet objectives\, reducing costs (not just monetary costs)\, and avoiding unintended consequences. Whether it is assessing possible benefits of fuels treatments or planning and analyzing prescribed fires\, next generation coupled fire atmosphere models can contribute to the science basis for land management decisions.  The requirements on these models are that they capture the influences of the heterogenous fire environment on fire behavior with sufficient detail to enable decision makers to understand the consequences of the various possible decisions.  Continual improvement of the science basis and availability of decision support requires a multi-fidelity modeling approach where detailed models can continuously help us increase our understanding of the relationship between fire behavior and its environment in current or future climate scenarios\, and faster running tools can encompass this understanding in an accessible tool. More more information here. \nJoin the webinar via MS Teams Here. \n

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: FireHydro - Mapping South Florida Daily Fire Risk Using Fuels\, Water Levels\, and Burn History
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 5\, 2023 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET \nA free one hour webinar from North Carolina State University\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida IFAS. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected. \nPresenter:\nKate Jones\, PhD Candidate\, Center for Geospatial Analytics at NC State University \nWebinar Description: Mapping fire risk at a landscape scale in South Florida depends on spatially varying water levels\, fuel characteristics\, and topography. When surface and near-surface water levels recede below the lowest topographic features (strands\, marshes\, etc.)\, the ecosystem loses its natural\, wetted fire breaks. We developed a data-driven spatial method to generate daily\, categorical fire risk maps; the maps visualize low-to-high risk areas and enable fire managers to both effectively execute prescribed burns\, as well as efficiently staff the landscape during high fire risk. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_LmdlvPGzSp261OVloc7Mqg#/registration \nWebinar Recording: If you can’t make the webinar\, look for the recording to be posted on the Southern Fire Exchange YouTube Webinar Archive. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Climate-Driven Changes in Prescribed Fire in the Southeastern US
DESCRIPTION:  \nClimate-Driven Changes in Prescribed Fire in the Southeastern US: Burner Concerns\, Needs\, and Alternatives \nAugust 17\, 2023 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET \nA free one hour webinar from the US Forest Service\, NC State University\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida IFAS. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected. \nPresenter: Megan Johnson\, PhD\, US Forest Service ORISE Post-Doc \nWebinar Description: Prescribed fire is used frequently in Southeastern landscapes to reduce wildfire risk\, maintain wildlife habitat\, and support fire-dependent species. Many practitioners have expressed that they are unable to burn as often as they would like due to the range of management and safety requirements. However\, climate change is expected to further restrict burning opportunities in the Southeast by reducing the number of days with acceptable meteorological conditions. This webinar summarizes the findings of a recent survey of Southeastern burners intended to evaluate and describe their needs\, concerns\, and alternative actions if faced with fewer good burning days in the future. The implications of these alternative actions on future smoke impacts will also be discussed. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegister Here: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-m_vVUiqTM-yn114SxVh5w
