SUMMARY:National Resource Inventory (NRI) on-site grazing land study
DESCRIPTION:Webinar join link. \nThe NRI program collects and produces scientifically credible information on the status\, condition\, and trends of land\, soil\, water\, and related natural resources on the nation’s non-federal lands. It is the largest field-based survey of natural resources in the world. Inventories of natural resources have been conducted for over 65 years on non-Federal lands. For rangelands\, the 12 current inventory and assessment protocols were developed in a collaboration of federal agencies\, were tested for several years across the continental United States\, and were set in 2004. The same set of protocols was applied to Federal rangelands beginning in 2009. This presentation describes the protocols and some of the new relevant information being generated by this longitudinal statistical study of on-site rangeland inventory.

SUMMARY:ReSHAPE: Reshaping wildfire and fuels reduction information
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI) established the ReShape program in response to feedback from policymakers\, land managers\, and researchers. ReShape (reshapewildfire.org) compiles and displays national-scale data on forest treatments and wildfires through the Treatment and Wildfire Interagency Geodatabase (TWIG)\, a user-friendly\, collaborative\, and open-access decision support tool. Research efforts focus on four key areas: social science for collaborative decision-making\, biophysical effects of forest treatments\, data science for large dataset analysis\, and economic assessments led by the Conservation Economics Institute. At this critical stage\, ReShape is fostering dialogue on TWIG’s effectiveness while refining the tool to better support wildfire risk reduction efforts. \nThis webinar will provide a tool demonstration\, lessons from case studies\, and a Q&A session to help researchers\, land managers\, and graduate students access and incorporate nationwide wildfire and fuel treatment data through the TWIG into their analyses for better understandings of fuel treatment effectiveness across boundaries.

SUMMARY:Introduction to automated wildfire delineation
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording (42:19). \nWith Jerry Tagestad\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Hosted by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium. \nWorking with NIFC and US Forest Service\, PNNL has developed an automated fire line mapping system for the entire US. The system uses satellite imagery to map heat perimeter\, intense heat\, and spot fires. The fire line GIS data will be made available in the NIFC EGP system starting spring of 2025. This webinar will walk through the automated system for creating individual polygons and how these GIS data are published to EGP for access. We will also discuss the need for feedback to improve the accuracy of the resultant products.

SUMMARY:Fueling discovery with USGS wildland fire science
DESCRIPTION:Webinar details and join link. \nWildfires are becoming more destructive as burned area increases and as more homes are built in the wildland-urban interface\, but it is unclear how these patterns are affected by changing wildfire behavior in different fuel types. To better understand changing patterns of wildfire destruction\, we mapped buildings exposed to and destroyed by wildfires in the conterminous U.S. from 2000-2020. From these maps\, we determined that the probability of an exposed building being destroyed by wildfire has more than tripled over the past two decades\, and that more wildfire destruction is occurring in forests relative to grass and shrublands. Understanding these changing patterns can help us design more effective strategies to mitigate risk.

SUMMARY:Western Ranch Management and Ecosystem Stewardship Program Field Class
DESCRIPTION:More information and registration. \nExplore the Role of Ranchers in Fire Ecology and Land Management \nWhile most wildfire research in the western U.S. focuses on public lands (e.g.\, Forest Service\, BLM\, Park Service)\, private ranches—especially across the Southern Rockies—play a crucial role in managing biodiversity\, supporting rural livelihoods\, and mitigating wildfire risk. Ranchers are increasingly engaging in land stewardship and collaborative research to build resilience against extreme wildfires. \nAbout the Western Ranch Management and Ecosystem Stewardship Program (WRMES) \nWRMES promotes sustainable ranching practices that support forests\, rangelands\, wildlife\, water resources\, and\nrural communities in the Intermountain West by providing classes\, research\, outreach\, and a masters degree. \nHighlights (4 Weeks):\n• Visit 8–10 working ranches representing diverse ecosystems and management approaches.\n• Learn strategies directly from ranchers creating both ecological and economic sustainability

SUMMARY:Distribution and consequences of disaster property losses: Evidence from tax return of wildfire victims
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWe merge property-level damages for U.S. wildfires with individual tax and Census data to understand the demographics of wildfire victims and the financial consequences of wildfire property loss. The data illuminate disparities in hazard and structure vulnerability. Occupants of destroyed homes have lower pre-fire income than those in surviving homes. Wildfires reduce earnings for occupants of destroyed homes by 10% on average in years following the fire and 40% of occupants are still filing taxes from a different county 3 years after the event. \nJudson Boomhower is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at the University of California San Diego and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). His research focuses on environmental economics\, energy markets\, climate risk and adaptation\, and the design of environmental and energy policy. Judson is a contributor to the U.S. National Climate Assessment\, an invited researcher at the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) and a faculty affiliate at the E2e initiative. He joined UC San Diego after a postdoctoral fellowship at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. He earned his PhD in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California\, Berkeley and BA and MS degrees from Stanford University.

SUMMARY:IMAGINE field workshop
DESCRIPTION:Register for Level 2 Field Workshop in Idaho Falls\, ID \nThis two-day workshops are designed to take an in depth look at how you can apply a set of principles and tools to strategically manage IAGs in both Eastern Idaho and Northern Great Basin. Our target audience includes both land managers and producers. Whether you are from the area or from the greater western US\, these workshops are designed to help participants gain knowledge about how to best tackle IAGs through conversations about various management practices depending on invasion severity and recovery potential. Management goals can vary depending on how success is defined. \nAdditionally\, we will visit a spectrum of sites from intact core areas to other rangelands areas. At these various sites\, we will talk about potential management tactics and explore how different government agencies are tackling the issue based on various circumstances. Through this field workshop\, our goal is to have participants become more confident with the different planning and management tools and help them to determine best management tactics to fit their situations.

SUMMARY:Can AI help firefighters manage wildfires?
DESCRIPTION:View video (8:38) \nFor over a decade\, Google Research has been working to develop AI based wildfire detection and mitigation solutions to provide critical information for emergency responders and to help scientists researching how fires spread. This work led to the development of FireSat – a purpose-built constellation of satellites designed exclusively for wildfire detection and tracking. FireSat will give firefighters and researchers access to high-resolution imagery\, updated every 20 minutes\, and analysis by AI models optimized to detect wildfires 1/400th smaller than current early detection satellites. Together\, with our partners in the fire community\, we plan to launch the first satellite in early 2025.
