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: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.

SUMMARY:Improving resilience and reducing wildfire risk in Pine Valley
DESCRIPTION:View video (6:53). \nIn a collaborative effort with Dixie National Forest\, Sarah Barga\, a research botanist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station\, outlines a project focused on building ecosystem resilience and resistance in Utah’s Pine Valley Ranger District. A team of specialists from the National Forest system\, Utah State University\, and Rocky Mountain Research station are examining the roles of invasive species\, local vegetation\, and fire history in managing this key landscape. The project launched in 2024 with initial ground truthing surveys to build out localized strategies to support the recovery of native understory plants resistant to invasives like cheatgrass and resilient to wildfire. The work underscores the significance of adapting efforts at the local level and the role of partnerships in integrating knowledge into future planning for improved management outcomes.

SUMMARY:Mapping and tracking California forests
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe Center for Ecosystem Climate Solutions (CECS)\, with support from California’s Strategic Growth Council (SGC)\, built a data cube of California forest conditions for 1985 to 2023. These data include state-wide\, 30-m information on ecosystem disturbance\, carbon\, water\, and fire hazard. These data are being tested against field observations with support from CALFIRE\, and an updated 2024 dataset is nearing release. This presentation will introduce the data cube and use it to quantify recent changes in California’s wildlands. \nMike Goulden is a Professor of Earth System Science (ESS) at UC Irvine. Goulden’s research focuses on Ecosystem ecology\, and the Biological\, physical\, and chemical controls on terrestrial carbon and water cycling. Goulden has conducted extensive fieldwork on carbon exchange in tropical\, boreal and temperate ecosystems. Goulden’s more recent work emphasizes satellite-based mapping of ecosystem conditions and function. \nThe Forest Health Research Program is part of California Climate Investments\, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions\, strengthening the economy\, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.

SUMMARY:How LANDFIRE EVT contributes to the estimation of forage
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nTitle: How LANDFIRE EVT contributes to the estimation of forage and seasonal range in Idaho: A perspective through time 2003-2023 \nSpeaker: Scott Bergen\, Senior Wildlife Research Biologist\, Idaho Department of Fish and Game \n Summary: Idaho Dept of Fish and Game uses LANDFIRE extant vegetation type databases 2001-2023 to estimate seasonal range analyses of Idaho’s big game species. Using mule deer as a focal species\, IDFG has developed multi-temporal analyses that use GPS data that has been collected from deployed location collars through time (2003- present). One of the most influential factors in determining mule deer summer range is the quality of forage where IDFG reclassifies EVT vegetation data into forage type data. This data\, along with several other graphic data are ‘mined’ using machine-learning algorithms to estimate both winter and summer range conditions for a seasonally migratory species and their conservation management. We will discuss how LANDFIRE data is used\, some of the problems and inconsistencies found with LANDFIRE (2001-2023)\, and how LANDFIRE is an invaluable resource for the management of this iconic western species.

SUMMARY:How do fire managers use information? Developing practical weather and climate information
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Three short presentations about recent work from the University of Arizona on understanding how wildland fire managers in the Southwest value and use weather and climate information and decision support tools\, and developing experimental weather and climate tools that are easy to use and fulfill a direct need for wildland fire managers. \nWhen researchers tried to estimate the value of weather and climate information for fire management\, they quickly found that while wildland fire managers have access to a vast array of data and information sources\, relatively few are routinely used to inform decisions – and some decision support systems are not necessarily used to support decisions. Through focus groups\, interviews\, and analysis of detailed survey data\, researchers began to glean insight into barriers to information use. This presentation touches on the value of truly use-inspired information relative to top-down products\, describes an experimental tool (Burn Period Tracker) that was developed in response\, and explores unanswered research questions. \nPresenters: Michael Crimmins\, Department of Environmental Science; Daniel Ferguson\, Department of Environmental Science\, Arizona Institute for Resilience; George Frisvold\, Department of Agricultural & Resource Economics.

SUMMARY:Tree growth and resilience of aspen and Chihuahua pine in Saguaro National Park
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenters: Gabrielle Ayres\, Erin Todd\, and Peter Fulé with Northern Arizona University School of Forestry\, Alicia Azpeleta Tarancón – Mediterranean Ecogeomorphological and Hydrological Connectivity Research Team with University of the Balearic Islands\, and Will Flatley – Department of Geography with the University of Central Arkansas. \nDescription: At the upper elevations of Saguaro National Park\, aspen and Chihuahua pine persist under starkly different ecological strategies—one moisture-dependent\, the other adapted to fire and drought. This presentation draws on tree-ring data and climate-driven growth simulations to examine how these species have responded to past climate variability and what their trajectories may look like under hotter\, drier conditions. The results reveal patterns of species-specific resilience and provide actionable insight for climate-adaptive management in this iconic desert sky island.

SUMMARY:Targeting the grass-fire cycle through soil-surface rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nBiocrust sods (portable islands of lichens\, mosses\, cyanobacteria\, and other organisms that form the cohesive soil communities known as biological soil crusts) are a novel technique for restoring critical soil systems in degraded landscapes. Because biocrusts can suppress the emergence of exotic plants\, biocrust sods may also serve as living\, ecologically beneficial fuel breaks in regions where the grass-fire cycle is driving more frequent fires. This presentation will offer preliminary results from studies in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts\, where researchers have been testing the capabilities of these new restoration tools. Anyone interested in soil ecology\, restoration\, or fire will leave this presentation with a new appreciation for biocrusts and their potential as critical restoration partners in two American deserts. \nPresenter: Keven Griffen\, PhD Student\, Northern Arizona University School of Forestry and Center for Ecosystem Science and Society

SUMMARY:Fire Management Considerations in the Urban Interface
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nLarge loss wildfires are a growing concern in much of the central and western US\, where wildfires originating or moving into the wildland-urban interface continue to impact high value residential and commercial infrastructure. As such\, fire managers continue to face challenges in terms of reining in suppression costs and allocation of resources on large urban-interface fires\, as well as mitigating millions of acres of hazardous fuels at a meaningful pace and scale. \nPresenters: \nDave Calkin\, Supervisory Research Forester\, Rocky Mountain Research Station\, USFS\nDave’s work is designed to improve risk-informed decision making through innovative science development\, application\, and delivery incorporating economics with risk and decision sciences. His research interests including: 1) risk assessment\, 2) collaborative wildfire mitigation and response planning\, 3) suppression effectiveness\, and 4) risk informed decision making. He developed and leads the Wildfire Risk Management Science (WRMS) team within the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station. \nMichael Tiller\, Assistant Professor of Forest and Fire Management\, College of Natural Resources\, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point\nMichael grew up in Northern California where he enjoyed an active outdoor lifestyle hunting\, fishing\, camping\, and skiing in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains and coastal redwoods. He enjoyed a 10-year career with Cal Fire serving as a Firefighter and Fire Apparatus Engineer. In 2006\, he moved to College Station\, Texas where he attended Texas A&M University and earned a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. After completing his B.S. degree\, he attended Stephen F. Austin State University where he earned an M.S. degree in Environmental Science and Ph. D. in Forestry\, both with a research focus on understory fuel flammability in forest and rangeland ecosystems. Michael also served as a Wildland Urban Interface Specialist for the Texas A&M Forest Service for 2-years where he was actively engaged with fuels management and prescribed burning. He recently accepted an Assistant Professor of Forest Ecology position at UW-Stevens Point where he leads the fire science program and serves as an adviser for the UWSP Fire Crew.
