SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Ecological Drought: An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:Introducing ecological drought as a scientific concept distinct from other definitions of drought\, this webinar explores recent research on the topic\, including transformational drought impacts and ecological tipping points. Speakers: \n• Dr. Shelley Crausbay\, Senior Scientist\, Conservation Science Partners \n• Dr. Amanda Cravens\, Research Social Scientist\, USGS \nThis webinar is the first in a four-part series that seeks to raise awareness of ecological drought\, share actions that strengthen ecosystems resilience and mitigate the impacts of droughts\, and discuss research and management needs for future drought planning and preparedness. The series is co-hosted by NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System and the USGS National Climate Adaptation Science Center\, with expert speakers from the research community\, tribal nations\, and government agencies. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: COVID-19 Impacts on Southeast Prescribed Fire  & Strategies for Keeping Fire on the Ground
DESCRIPTION:Hosts: NASA\, Tall Timbers Research Station\, Southern Fire Exchange\, Joint Fire Science Program\, and the University of Florida \nPresenters: Benjamin Poulter\, Ph.D.\, NASA Earth Sciences Division \nMorgan Varner\, Ph.D.\, Tall Timbers Research Station \nGreg Titus\, US Fish and Wildlife Service \nBrett Williams\, US Air Force Wildland Fire Branch \nSasha Ernst\, Florida Park Service \nWebinar Description: The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has altered the use of prescribed fire on hundreds of thousands of acres of public and private lands across the Southeastern United States. In this special two-part webinar\, scientists and fire management program leaders will discuss both the measurable impacts of the pandemic on prescribed fire use\, as well as successful strategies for managing fire during the time of COVID-19. In the first presentation\, NASA research scientist Ben Poulter\, Ph.D.\, will discuss the results of a project with Tall Timbers Research Station that identified changes in the pattern and frequency of fire across the region in 2020. In the second half of the webinar\, a panel of prescribed fire managers from the US Fish and Wildlife Service\, Eglin Air Force Base\, and the Florida Park Service\, will discuss their experiences\, lessons\, and strategies for managing prescribed fire programs in 2020 and 2021. Following the research presentation and panel discussion\, there will be time for audience Q/A. \nRegistration is required. Register here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: New Applications for Terrestrial LiDAR Systems\, Monitoring Forests\, Fuels and Ecosystem Health
DESCRIPTION:Traditional forestry\, ecological\, and fuels monitoring methods are costly\, error-prone and are rarely analyzed. The application of Terrestrial LIDAR System (TLS) units to monitoring methods can help standardize data collection resulting in improved efficiency\, reduced error\, and datasets that can easily be analyzed to better inform management decisions. Affordable (sub-$20K) off-the-shelf TLS units can be employed to streamline the data collection process\, remove sampling bias\, and produce data that can be easily imported into analysis software or decision support framework. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: How To Talk About Southern Forests With The Public
DESCRIPTION:The Keeping Forests partnership shares groundbreaking results from recent opinion research on the best ways to talk about the issues facing southern forests with the public. \n\n\nKeeping Forests is a collation of multi-stakeholder partners committed to sustaining 245 million acres of southern forestland by 2060. There are major threats to this land and the solutions are largely in the hands of private landowners. Yet\, to date\, there has been limited research that reveals how the public understands the role of southern forests to their daily lives\, the importance of them\, and what the most critical solutions are. \nRaising awareness and shifting public opinion is a key strategy for Keeping Forests to meet the 2060 goal. In partnership with New Bridge Strategy\, Keeping Forests will share the results of qualitative and quantitative research that gets at the heart of these issues. They will provide key “dos and don’ts” for how to talk about southern forests that can be applied across a variety of contexts and audiences. \nThe first part of the webinar will be a presentation by Keeping Forests and New Bridge Strategy. The second part will be dedicated to answering participants questions. \nDownload the results of the public opinion research here: https://www.keepingforests.org/resources
