SUMMARY:JFSP FSEN Webinar - Fire and Fire Surrogate Studies and SageSTEP: The Benefits of Long-Term Fire Research
DESCRIPTION:Fire and Fire Surrogate Studies and SageSTEP: The Benefits of Long-Term Fire Research Webinar \nWhen: April 2nd\, 1:00 – 2:30 PM ET \nCollaboratively hosted by:\nGreat Basin Fire Science Exchange\nSouthern Fire Exchange\nCalifornia Fire Science Consortium\nJoint Fire Science Program\nNorthern Rockies Fire Science Network\nNorth Atlantic Fire Science Exchange\nConsortium of Appalachian Fire Managers and Scientists \nDescription: The goal of this webinar is to take an in‑depth look at two of the most influential long‑term fire research efforts supported by the Joint Fire Science Program: the Fire and Fire Surrogate (FFS) Study and the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP). These landmark studies provide rare\, decades‑long insights into how different fuel treatments and fire management strategies shape ecosystem resilience\, fuel dynamics\, vegetation structure\, and wildlife habitat. \nIn this webinar\, we​ will highlight why long-term research sites are ​integral in understanding ecosystem response and for informing ​management decisions today. ​ \nWe will explore key findings from several FFS locations—including Blodgett Forest Research Station (CA)\, Lubrecht Experimental Forest (MT)\, Green River Game Land (NC)\, and Ohio Hills (OH)—as well as the network of SageSTEP sites across the sagebrush biome. \nGuest speakers: \n\nMolly Hunter\, Joint Fire Science Program\nDon Hagan\, Clemson University\nSharon Hood\, Rocky Mountain Research Station\, USDA Forest Service\nScott Stephens\, University of California – Berkeley\nLisa Ellsworth\, Oregon State University and Beth Newingham\, Agricultural Research Service\nAlexis Bernal\, University of California – Berkeley\n\nMore information and webinar registration: North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange website

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Plan\, Predict\, & Burn - The New Prescribed Burn Planner (PBP v2)
DESCRIPTION:“Plan\, Predict\, & Burn – The New Prescribed Burn Planner (PBP v2)”\n  \nWhen: April 28th\, 2026\, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET \nHosted by: Southern Fire Exchange \nPresenters: Dr. Holly Nowell and Karen Cummins\, Tall Timbers Research Station \nDescription: Prescribed fire is one of the most effective tools land managers and landowners have for maintaining fire-dependent ecosystems\, improving habitat\, and reducing hazardous fuel buildup that increases wildfire risk. Yet\, coordinating multiple burns while waiting for the right weather conditions can be challenging. The Prescribed Burn Planner (PBP) was originally developed to help users plan and prioritize prescribed burns by providing weather forecasts for individual burn units\, thus hopefully reducing the number of missed burn windows. After receiving funding support from USDA Forest Service\, Southern Region (R8)\, PBP version 2 was created to take prescribed burn planning to the next level. Join Karen Cummins and Dr. Holly Nowell from Tall Timbers as they demonstrate PBP v2’s new capabilities. \nRegister for and learn more about the webinar.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: "The Integrated Research Management Team: A Novel Framework for Integrating Wildland Fire Research & Management"
DESCRIPTION:“The Integrated Research Management Team: A Novel Framework for Integrating Wildland Fire Research & Management”\n  \nWhen: May 19th\, 2026\, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET \nHosted by: Southern Fire Exchange\, US Forest Service\, The Ember Alliance \nPresenters: James Furman\, US Forest Service; Dan Gualtieri\, The Ember Alliance \nDescription: Our landscapes face increasingly complex fire management challenges including fire exclusion\, changing fire seasons\, invasive species\, and growing wildland-urban interface. To better address these challenges\, timely and relevant fire science is needed to develop new knowledge\, tools\, and practices. Research has demonstrated that knowledge attained through coproduction is more readily applied by practitioners and research co-production is a pathway towards tackling ‘wicked problems.’ In wildland fire contexts\, accomplishing co-produced science is often difficult\, as hosting research on active incidents and operations presents many safety and logistical challenges. The Integrated Research Management Team (IRMT) is a framework modeled after the Incident Command System and developed collaboratively among the USDA Forest Service\, US Department of War\, and others. The IRMT bridges the gap between fire science researchers and wildland fire managers and practitioners\, facilitating research campaigns on active\, operational\, prescribed fires. This webinar features James Furman\, USFS Fire Management Specialist\, exploring the IRMT’s origin\, solving real challenges faced by wildland fire researchers and managers. Dan Gualtieri\, Wildland Fire Science Coordinator for The Ember Alliance\, dives deeper into the framework’s current IRMT structure. \nRegister for and learn more about the webinar.
