SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Fire-Ties that Bind: The Natural and Cultural Heritage of Controlled Burning in the Southland & the Rekindling of Global Fire Culture
DESCRIPTION:SFE Webinar: Fire-Ties that Bind: The Natural and Cultural Heritage of Controlled Burning in the Southland & the Rekindling of Global Fire Culture\nHost: South Carolina DNR\, National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative\, Working Lands for Wildlife\, Quail Forever\, Amsa Yoga\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, Joint Fire Science Program and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Johnny Stowe\, South Carolina DNR \nAbstract: All across North America\, and beyond\, people are gathering to Share the Flame.  Resilient embers have been re-kindled\, passionately nurtured in the deep-time crucible of people and fire that has warmed our hearts and hearths for scores of thousands of millennia. Twenty-five years ago\, the phenomenon of wildland fire-lighting in North America was barely flickering in scattered spots. Today\, an intense\, intergenerational\, pandisciplinary pyronexus forged in the natural and multicultural heritage of people embedded in fire-loving landscapes is being restored and is thriving in a wide and deeply-rooting range of programs\, policies and on-the-ground practices. Lighting up the landscape\, under prescription\, is an accelerating\, transcontinental\, cultural phenomenon centering on the shared pride of people connected to special places through a uniquely satisfying\, primordial practice. Fire-lighting binds people together as it promotes and gives resilience to ecological integrity\, economic health and public safety. Fire-wonder is increasingly expressed through prescribed fire tales\, poems and paintings\, and it resonates in rituals\, ceremonies\, pyrotourism and other gatherings. Our cultural spot fires have pulled together\, and they are creating their own winds and fuels. The fire-lighting pyroparadigm of North America — once nearly extinguished by decades of pathological\, command-and-control\, anti-fire propaganda\, pogroms and policy — has been taken back\, and we’ll let no one\, ever again\, wrest it away. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Required: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8wX3HUi_R86jZWP0Jgu_4g

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Growing-Season Prescribed Fires & Ground Nesting Birds
DESCRIPTION:Growing Season Fire & Ground-Nesting Birds – Answers for Longleaf Restoration\nHost: Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Jim Cox\, Tall Timbers Research Station \nAbstract: Millions of dollars have been spent over the past 20 years on reforestation of longleaf pine forests. Restoration will take time coupled with frequent and repeated application of prescribed burning. Burning is absolutely critical to restoration\, but an appreciable number of individuals and groups now limit their opportunities to burn to a smaller and smaller burn window. The concern often voiced is that burning from April – July is detrimental to ground nesting/grassland birds and should be avoided. Restoration targets that require frequent burning and may not be achieved if the burn window becomes too narrow. This presentation will look at the science behind the use of fire during the “lightning season” (the months of April – July) and its effects on ground-nesting birds such as quail and Bachman’s sparrow.  Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Required: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lGveI7-rQFqRq1NtsdgG8w

SUMMARY:Prescribed Fire Science Workshop: Increasing the Pace and Scale of Prescribed Burning
DESCRIPTION:The Prescribed Fire Science Workshop is a series of virtual events\, trainings\, and networking opportunities that will connect fire scientists and land managers with the goal of increasing the pace and scale of prescribed burning in the northeastern United States. This series will lay the groundwork for continued exchange between scientists and managers\, including more virtual events and (eventually!) at least one in-person meeting that will feature a prescribed burn (RxB). \nThis series will: \n\n\nraise awareness of how evidence-based prescribed fire can be used as a tool to create safe\, resilient\, fire-adapted landscapes \n\n\nempower participants to use modern scientific tools that will help them safely implement prescribed burns in their home units \n\n\ninform decision-makers about how they can incorporate science-driven management decisions into their legislation \n\n\nshowcase New Jersey as an example of science-based fuels management \n\n\nParticipants can register for one of two tracks for this series: \n\n\nA la carte registration: this option allows for maximum flexibility and a smaller time commitment\, with invitations to attend the series’ overview events \n\n\nFull registration: this option asks participants to participate fully in all interactive seminars and includes access to all series events \n\n\nBoth options are free of charge\, but pre-registration is required.

SUMMARY:Workshop: How to optimize fire education courses for a virtual environment
DESCRIPTION:In a pandemic environment\, remote learning is becoming a necessity for NWCG (National Wildfire Coordinating Group) courses. To help keep firefighters fireline-ready\, instructors need to adapt traditionally in-person courses for non-traditional classrooms. This training will be co-instructed by North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange Network communications and education specialists and Northeastern Forest Fire Protection Compact training working team members with decades of experience in fireline instruction. This workshop will give fireline course instructors the tools they need to confidently and independently apply best practices to teach traditionally in-person courses in a digital environment. \nThis training will include:\n– Fundamentals of virtual teaching and learning\n– Adaptations and best practices for fireline teaching\n– Practice preparing and implementing a lesson plan in the virtual environment \nWorried about being on Zoom for a few hours? Don’t be! We have strategically placed breaks included in the agenda. In addition\, this is an interactive training – we expect all participants to fully dive in and generate ideas so they can walk away with an action plan. While we understand that distractions sometimes come up\, we will ask everyone to model engaged student behaviors. Participants will be expected to use video and audio to interact with the workshop instructors and in small groups. \nREGISTER HERE \nPlease note that the following pre-reading is required in order to fully participate in the workshop:\n– Pre-course Materials (read linked articles as applicable)\n– Instructor checklist\n– Student checklist

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: The Future of Drought in Texas: What do Researchers and Stakeholders Need to Know?
DESCRIPTION:Host: National Integrated Drought Information System\, Texas A&M University\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration \nPresenter: Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon\, Texas State Climatologist\, Texas A&M University \nAbstract: \nLong‐range water planning is complicated by factors that are rapidly changing in the 21st century\, including climate\, population\, and water use. Climate projections indicate the latter half of the 21st century may be even drier in some parts of the United States than even the most arid centuries of the last 1\,000 years that included megadroughts. \nIn this webinar\, Texas State Climatologist Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon will discuss these drought projections and related climate factors for Texas\, and some barriers to the use of these projections by Texas agricultural producers\, large surface water suppliers\, small groundwater management districts\, and regional water planning districts. \nRegister for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:EPA Tools and Resources Webinar - Air Pollution and Heart Disease
DESCRIPTION:Host: EPA Office of Research and Development\n \nPresenter: Wayne E. Cascio\, Ph.D.\, Director of the Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment\, EPA Office of Research and Development \nAbstract: \nOver the past 50 years to meet its mission of protecting human health and the environment\, EPA has worked to ensure that all Americans have access to clean air\, land and water. Environmental law\, policy and science have afforded the U.S. improved environmental quality across all media with attendant benefits to human health. Advances in clinical and population-based research methods\, engineering\, technology and medicine have increased our knowledge of air pollution and its constituents\, the way the pollution is generated and moves in the atmosphere\, as well as the impacts this pollution has on human health and ecosystems. Air research conducted and funded by EPA’s Office of Research and Development has contributed substantially over the past 50 years to establishing the Clean Air Act’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Research has linked regulated air pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter (PM) to lung and heart disease and other health problems. This research is in-part responsible for increasing the average life expectancy of Americans by approximately five to eight months according to findings from a 2009 EPA-supported study. This webinar will discuss the parallel progress of EPA science\, the evolution of the technology used for studying air quality and health\, and our understanding of heart disease\, improvement in air quality and human health. \nRegistration Required: https://epawebconferencing.acms.com/tools_august2020/event/registration.html

SUMMARY:Ecological Society of America 2020 Conference
DESCRIPTION:  \nConference theme: “Harnessing the Ecological Data Revolution” \nAbstracts are due April 30th. \nLike many science fields\, the ecological sciences are being flooded by massive and diverse sources of information. For example\, remote sensing platforms\, automated sensors\, observatory networks\, molecular techniques\, large-scale or replicated experiments\, and predictive (simulation) models are generating enormous amounts of data over time and/or across space. Such big and diverse data are opening up new avenues of research and enabling ecologists to address more complex questions and hypotheses that\, for example\, span multiple scales and disciplines. However\, this information deluge also creates challenges in terms of methods available for harnessing the information contained in such data and tools for effectively communicating big data issues and results. The 105th annual meeting encourages contributions that address these issues or that employ novel and integrative approaches to harnessing the data revolution to address pressing issues in ecology.
