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: 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:SFE Webinar: Overview of the North Carolina Climate Science Report: Implications for Wildland Fire
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from North Carolina State University\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Rebecca Ward\, Assistant State Climatologist\, Raleigh\, North Carolina \nWebinar Description: The North Carolina Climate Science Report\, published in March 2020\, is a scientific assessment of historical climate trends and potential future climate change in NC. The report was authored by North Carolina-based climate experts and was informed by the 4th US National Climate Assessment\, the 5th IPCC Assessment Report\, and up-to-date published research in credible scientific journals. This webinar will briefly describe the report’s development process before diving into the findings relevant for understanding fire potential and risk: what trends have been observed in NC over the past century\, what can we expect over the next few decades to the end of the century\, and what is our level of certainty in the projected changes.  Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration required. Registration Link

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.
