LANDFIRE Feedback Survey
The LANDFIRE Team is pausing to listen to our user community. We have designed a 12-question, 4-minute survey that includes questions ranging from product and data quality to outreach and delivery. The LANDFIRE Program is taking a proactive approach to internal and external growth – we want to know our weaknesses so we can make improvements while simultaneously developing and multiplying our strengths. We will carefully evaluate every piece of feedback. Please take a moment to interact with us in this completely anonymous format. The LANDFIRE team appreciates your candidness and support! |
Partner Webinar: Putting LANDFIRE Data (and Models) to Work in the Scientific Community
LANDFIRE delivers 20+ vegetation and fire datasets, and a state-and-transition model for every ecosystem in the United States. Have you ever wondered how others in the scientific community use these products? Join us and find out.
Members of the LANDFIRE Team will bring you a timely, relevant and succinct webinar describing three different applications of LANDFIRE data in published scientific literature from 2021. Our talk will start with a “30K foot view” of how LANDFIRE data is (generally) used by students, academics and agencies. We will then spotlight three example scientific papers each with a unique focus on drought, fire and climate change. We will highlight general findings, and touch on the LANDFIRE datasets, applications used for each journal article.
Papers we will discuss:
1. Drought Sensitivity and Trends of Riparian Vegetation Vigor in Nevada, USA (1985–2018) | Albano, Christina, McGwire, K.C., Hausner, M.B., McEvoy, D.J., Morton, C.G., Huntington, J.L. (LANDFIRE Existing Vegetation Type classification used) https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/12/9/1362
