Post-fire restoration infrastructure: Adjusting our systems to new patterns of runoff
Webinar recording. We reengineer and rebuild after wildfire through a range of treatments, trying to match our built infrastructure to new, amplified patterns of runoff. A national wildfire practitioner speaks to how leaders and policy makers are increasingly recognizing the need to manage the built environment to accommodate these changes, and an environmental engineer shares…

Ecological drought: Future of aquatic flows
Webinar recording. This webinar will explore how climate change is altering aquatic flows in streams and rivers across the country. Implications of how the nexus of climate and aquatic flows may impact aquatic ecosystem management will also be discussed. Research findings from the 2022–2024 Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows cohort will be shared.

Recreating and relating to the land after fire
Webinar recording. Wildfires reshape recreation access and experiences over the short and long term. A researcher shares emerging science that is revealing how people return to and perceive wildfire-affected landscapes, and a manager shares how they navigate decisions about supporting recreation in these contexts.

How will future climate change impact prescribed fire across the contiguous US?
Webinar recording. The use of prescribed fire to manage ecosystems is increasing across the United States, but climate change threatens to impact future opportunities for prescribed fire as a result of changes in meteorological conditions and fuels. I will discuss the results of a recent study which combined prescription information from 80 sites across the…
