SUMMARY:Tree rings provide an important multi-century context for the current wildfire crisis
DESCRIPTION:More information and join link \nWildfires across the United States are growing larger and more intense\, threatening communities\, ecosystems\, and critical water supplies. But are these “megafires” truly unprecedented—or are they part of a longer natural pattern? \nIn this webinar\, USGS Research Ecologist Ellis Margolis shares how scientists are using tree rings to uncover the history of wildfire over hundreds of years. Drawing from the North American tree-ring fire scar network\, this research provides valuable context for understanding how current fire activity compares to the past. Findings reveal that while modern fires are not necessarily larger than those before 1900\, they are burning less frequently but with greater severity—especially in dry conifer forests of the western United States. Despite recent increases in wildfire activity\, many forests still experience a “fire deficit\,” meaning they are not burning as often as they historically did. \nThe webinar will also highlight practical solutions. Learn how land managers are using prescribed fire and managed wildfires to restore more natural fire patterns and build forest resilience in the face of multiple stressors.

SUMMARY:Navigating treatment data: Choosing the right dataset for your needs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFor more information on the presenters and to access a fact sheet about the tools that will be discussed\, please visit https://fireecology.org/calendar-entries/navigating-treatment-data-may-2026 \nThere is a growing demand for high quality\, spatially explicit\, cross boundary treatment data including information on the type\, location\, age\, and ownership of fuel and vegetation treatments. This information is essential for reporting accomplishments and understanding fuel treatment effectiveness in reducing wildfire risk to values. Several platforms now offer cleaned and collated treatment data from disparate source databases. Researchers and practitioners need to understand the nuances between the different datasets; for example\, who can access the data\, what source data are used\, and which treatments are included or excluded. Understanding these differences and deciding which dataset best meets a user’s needs can be challenging. The goal of this webinar is to help users understand the similarities and differences between the primary aggregated treatment datasets available to them including the Integrated Interagency Fuel Treatment Service\, Fuel Treatment Effectiveness Monitoring\, GARP Hub\, TWIG\, and LANDFIRE’s Disturbance and Treatment Polygons. \nParticipants will leave the webinar with a general understanding of these datasets\, how to select a dataset based on their specific use case\, and where to go to learn more.

SUMMARY:Adapting Together: Shaping the Future of Fire in the Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Workshop website. \nAs new fire policies and adaptation strategies have grown across the Northwest\, it is essential that we work together to learn\, share and craft actionable visions. ADAPTING TOGETHER focuses on diverse approaches to place-based wildfire adaptation within and across this region. \nBy bringing people together from diverse sectors\, geographies\, and cultures\, we will delve into the following questions: \nWhat kinds of place-based adaptation are happening around the broader Northwest\, and what capacity and resources do they require?\nHow do we maintain and grow a focus on fire’s ecological and cultural roles while protecting communities?\nWhat kinds of local partnerships\, economic strategies and policies will help us become more fire-adapted?\nIn the next five and ten years\, who needs to work together and how so that we can collectively coexist with fire?\nFire adaptation is a big puzzle with many pieces. This workshop explores these questions through selected topics to offer reframings\, new conversations\, creative ideas and meaningful connections. \nParticipants will… \nShare their personal experiences\, perspectives\, and ideas on the workshop’s themes and guiding questions.\nBuild relationships\, learn with peers\, and leave with new connections.\nContribute to fire adaptation practice in the region by visioning the future of how we live with wildfire.\nThe workshop begins at 1:30 p.m. on March 4th and ends around noon on March 6th. Expect a mix of panels\, learning circles\, case studies\, interactive activities and informal time to connect.

SUMMARY:Insights from wildfire research: Air quality\, monitoring technologies\, and post-fire soils
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nSummary: Graduate students will have 15 mins each to present their research on three topics from the Desert Research Institute’s Harnessing the Data Revolution for Fire Science (HDRFS) project\, followed by discussion. The topics and presenters are: \nIndividual presentations and presenters: \nAir quality and wildfire smoke – Bianca Martinez \nThis talk shares results from experimental burning of Great Basin vegetation\, including the type and amount of air pollutants released\, and combustion conditions. The findings of this research are relevant to prescribed fire and fuel treatment planning\, and improving smoke management and public warnings. \nTechnology for real-time monitoring over large distances – Jehren Boehm \nThis work focuses real-time monitoring of air\, snow\, and soil conditions with greater spatial resolution and lower cost. By leveraging existing fire camera networks with robust power systems and reliable internet connectivity\, widely distributed low-cost wireless sensors can fill knowledge gaps that would otherwise rely on modeling. \nPost-fire soils and water repellency – Conor Croskery \nThis research is focused on determining if water repellent soils are present in sagebrush ecosystems before wildfire\, how the distribution of these soils changes after fire\, and if there is a relationship between how much water can be stored in the soil if water repellent soils are present after fire.

SUMMARY:From data to decisions: Using co-production and Ecological Site Groups to build State-and-Transition Models for management in pinyon-juniper ecosystems of the Colorado Plateau
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenter: Tara Bishop\, Utah Valley University\nPanelists: Mike Duniway and John Severson\, U.S. Geological Survey \nSummary: Managing fire and fuels in Colorado Plateau pinyon-juniper woodlands and shrublands remains challenging as land managers navigate complex questions about where treatments will be most effective and what outcomes to expect under different conditions. In this webinar\, speakers from Utah Valley University and the U.S. Geological Survey will present outcomes from a Joint Fire Sciences Program project that used a collaborative co-production approach with land managers to develop data-driven State-and-Transition Models for fire-prone Ecological Site Groups in the Upper Colorado River Basin. By integrating 37 years of Landsat imagery with extensive federal monitoring data and new field-collected fuel measurements\, the team mapped ecological states through time and quantified how fire severity\, drought\, and other drivers influence vegetation trajectories across the landscape. The presentation will show how these Ecological Site Group State-and-Transition Models\, along with the publicly available datasets and reproducible workflows developed through this project\, can inform landscape-scale planning decisions from identifying priority treatment areas to understanding likely post-fire outcomes\, supporting more strategic approaches to fire risk reduction\, fuels treatments\, and post-fire restoration across western rangelands.

SUMMARY:Contrasting LANDFIRE with fractional vegetation cover data (RCMAP and RAP)
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenters: Matthew Rigge\, Josh Picotte\, Jon Dewitz\, Sarah McCord \nThe use of Landsat remote sensing-based vegetation classifications has expanded in recent years as product accuracy and accessibility have increased. With the proliferation of available datasets\, users often face questions such as 1) the “best” or most appropriate dataset to use for a particular application\, 2) differences in project objectives\, 3) how to consider discrepancies among datasets\, and 4) the reliability of a product within a specific local study area. We will consider these questions in the context of commonly used datasets from LANDFIRE\, RCMAP (Rangeland Condition Monitoring Assess. & Projection)\, and RAP (Rangelands Analysis Platform).
