SUMMARY:Increases in large wildfire driven nighttime fire activity observed across the conterminous US
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis presentation discusses the results of 17 years of active fire data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to characterize the daytime and nighttime dynamics of wildfires across the continental US. Whereas daytime fire activity was widely detected regardless of fire type\, nighttime fire activity was mainly detected inside wildfires and particularly within large wildfires in the western US. The analysis also found that as fuels dry\, there is an increase in larger and more intense wildfires with higher chances that fire activity will persist overnight. Results indicate that increasing trends in nighttime wildfire activity have coincided with increasing wildfire sizes. Nighttime fire activity already poses additional risks to firefighters and communities\, and this presentation discussed the probability that projected increases in the frequency of large wildfires will be accompanied by increases in the extent and intensity of nighttime fire activity.

SUMMARY:Vegetation type conversions in the southwestern US: Frontline observations and management responses
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nEcosystems of the western United States are experiencing vegetation type conversions (VTC) in response to land-use change\, climate warming\, and their interactive effects with wildland fire. VTC is one of the most pressing management issues in the southwestern US\, yet current strategies to intervene and address change often use trial-and-error approaches devised after the fact. This presentation discusses findings on VTC challenges\, management responses\, and outcomes from the collective experience of managers\, scientists\, and practitioners across the southwestern US. \nEcological reorganization across the region is not only extensive – it is complex\, predominantly driven by high-severity wildfire. By a large margin\, affected semi-arid forests convert to shrubland\, while chaparral and sagebrush areas nearly always convert to non-native grasses. Management interventions in VTC areas most often attempt to reverse changes\, although these efforts cover only a small portion of high-severity burn areas undergoing VTC. Efforts to facilitate VTC are rare but hold the potential to cover large spatial areas. \nThe presenter’s findings underscore that type conversion is a common outcome of high-severity wildland fire in the southwestern US. As the drivers increase with climate change\, VTC appears increasingly likely in many ecological contexts\, and may require management paradigms to transition as well.

SUMMARY:Post-fire logging in southern Colorado: Changes to post-fire recovery
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFollowing a wildfire\, successful tree regeneration is mediated by multiple factors\, from the microsite to landscape scale. This presentation demonstrates the importance of microsite conditions such as soil moisture and temperature in predicting conifer tree establishment. The speakers examined the footprint and behavior of a large 2018 wildfire in southern Colorado to understand how fire severity and post-fire logging influenced stand structure\, fuels\, vegetation\, and soil microsite conditions. Their findings show that salvage-logged plots demonstrated lower daily average temperature and minimum soil moisture and higher fuel loading across most fuel size classes relative to unlogged plots\, which also corresponded with a loss of dead standing wood and little to no canopy cover. Early post-fire conifer regeneration was low across all plots\, but lower soil moisture and higher soil temperature negatively impacted the density of regeneration. Careful consideration of soil impacts and the associated changes to forest conditions should be taken when conducting post-fire logging to prevent detrimental effects on microsite conditions and forest recovery.

SUMMARY:Climate conversations: Wildfire
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nClimate change is increasing the frequency\, severity\, and extent of area burned by wildfires in the U.S.\, putting more people at risk of exposure to fire itself and to smoke\, which can travel thousands of miles and affect the health of millions of people. A.R. “Ravi” Ravishankara (Colorado State University) will moderate a conversation between Sarah Coefield (Missoula City-County Health Department) and Erica Fischer (Oregon State University) about how planners and decision makers are coping with these challenges and working to protect the built environment and human health.

SUMMARY:PNW August 2022 Drought and Climate Outlook
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nAccording to the August 2\, 2022 U.S. Drought Monitor\, 39.5% of the Pacific Northwest Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) is in drought. A very wet spring and early summer has greatly improved conditions compared to March\, when over 70% of the region was in drought. However\, a large part of Oregon is still in Extreme (D3)/Exceptional (D4) Drought\, as are pockets in Idaho. This webinar will provide more information on the current conditions and outlooks\, as well as two presentations on OpenET. \nThese webinars provide the region’s stakeholders and interested parties with timely information on current and developing drought conditions\, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. Speakers will also discuss the impacts of these conditions on things such as wildfires\, floods\, disruption to water supply and ecosystems\, as well as impacts to affected industries like agriculture\, tourism\, and public health.

SUMMARY:An Indigenous framework to guide research and restoration in fire-adapted landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Worldwide\, Indigenous peoples are leading the revitalization of their/our cultures through the restoration of ecosystems in which they are embedded\, including in response to increasing “megafires.” Yet\, despite growing recognition that just and effective conservation is only possible through partnerships with\, or led by\, Indigenous peoples\, decolonizing approaches to restoration have received insufficient attention. Further\, reconciliation will be incomplete without Indigenous-led restoration of Indigenous lands\, knowledges\, and cultures. In this webinar\, we will introduce the concept of “walking on two legs” to guide restoration scientists and practitioners in advancing the interconnected processes of Indigenous-led restoration and reconciliation in Indigenous territories. As an action-oriented framework articulated by Secwépemc Elder Ronald E. Ignace\, “walking on two legs” seeks to bring Indigenous knowledges into balance with western scientific knowledge in service of upholding an Indigenous stewardship ethic that is embedded in Indigenous ways of relating to land and embodies principles of respect\, reciprocity\, and responsibility. Grounding our discussion in the context of fire-adapted ecosystems of western Canada and unceded and traditional Secwépemc territory\, Secwepemcúl̓ecw\, we will share two case studies of collaborative and Indigenous-led research and restoration to demonstrate how “walking on two legs” provides a pathway to uphold respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples\, knowledges\, and territories through Indigenous-led restoration. \nPresenters: Marianne Ignace\,  Director\, Indigenous Languages Program and First Nations Language Centre\, Simon Fraser University \nSarah Disckson-Hoyle\, PhD candidate and Public Scholar\, Faculty of Forestry\, University of British Columbia

SUMMARY:Lightning fire occurrence prediction: Modelling for operational use
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWotton\, Canadian Forest Service\, explains lightning fire ignition and the important processes that determine the day-to-day variation of this important source of summertime fire activity in Canada. This presentation is for both academic and operational audiences in Canada’s wildfire community. \nExamples from models developed and used in Ontario’s fire occurrence prediction system were provided as well as some comparisons to similar model development in other regions of the country. Reviewing the history and operational use of these models in Ontario provides useful examples of the challenges and opportunities (and ultimately the long-term investment required) in getting research into operational use in wildland fire management. \n
