SUMMARY:Northwest weed biocontrol in changing environments
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWe will begin with a brief overview of weed biocontrol\, and then discuss how climate change may impact biocontrol systems at different stages of planning and implementation. Our speakers will highlight as examples the control agents and their host dynamics for Hypericum perforatum\, Lythrum salicaria\, and Reynoutria spp. \nThis event will also serve as the launching point for a working group to address knowledge gaps around Northwest biocontrol in a changing climate\, including modeling population dynamics and geographic distributions of agents under different climate scenarios and developing a framework for collecting data to disentangle climate impacts from other drivers of population dynamics. Other potential working group topics include disruption in the phenological synchrony of agent and host and evolutionary changes in response to climate change.

SUMMARY:A sensory portrait of wildland fire
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPeople usually focus on the visual aspects of fire\, and the smell of smoke\, but we rarely appreciate how we use\, or should use\, our other senses to describe or even identify fire effects. Sound is a fundamental part of our experience when interacting with the world around us and is so fundamental that we often forget to question what it is we are really hearing. Our long relationship with all aspects of fire\, including the sounds of fire\, are deeply intuitive and yet also elusive. What is creating the crackling sound we hear when vegetation burns? What is that sound really telling us about the exchange between vegetation and fire? What sounds are involved that lead to a safe or unsettling feeling when around wildland fire? In this Panel we will take a dive into the acoustical dance between vegetation and fire\, where is this sound really coming from and what is it really telling us\, and what else is going on besides what we hear.

SUMMARY:Tree-rings reveal the legacy of Indigenous cultural burning in the Southwest
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nStudying the influence of Indigenous people on ancient and historical fire regimes has been methodologically challenging. In the Southwest United States\, well-replicated fire histories suggest that abundant lightning and suitable climate conditions drove frequent low-severity wildfires in dry pine forests independent of human activities even as ethnography provided hints that highly mobile indigenous populations used fire in myriad land use contexts. In this webinar Dr. Christopher Roos uses published and unpublished tree-ring fire history records from pine forests in Arizona and New Mexico to demonstrate that Indigenous foragers\, pastoralists\, and farmers influenced southwestern fire regimes in similar ways. This research shows that population size\, culture\, and economic organization were not limiting variables on the influence of Indigenous populations on fire regimes and that new methodological approaches may offer new insights into long histories of Indigenous fire stewardship that can contribute to discourse on contemporary fire management\, fire-co-management\, and restoration of traditional fire management practices.

SUMMARY:Prescribed fire in winegrower country: How much smoke is too much?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPrescribed fire plays a vital role in protecting California vineyards from the growing risk of wildfires. Still\, vintners know firsthand the concerns that smoke can raise during sensitive periods of grape development. On November 5th\, CAL FIRE\, in partnership with CWI and regional experts\, invites California winegrowers\, fire practitioners\, agencies\, and anyone interested in smoke issues around the vintner community to join a special webinar focused on smoke awareness and communication. Together\, we’ll share the latest information on prescribed fire practices\, notification processes\, and smoke management tools\, while highlighting how local fire agencies and FireWise communities are working to strengthen coordination with the wine industry. \nThis interactive session will give California vintners the opportunity to hear directly from fire practitioners\, learn strategies to minimize smoke impacts\, and build connections with the people shaping prescribed fire efforts in the region. The conversation will also help set the stage for a larger in-person convening in spring 2026\, where winegrowers and fire leaders will continue to work together on solutions that support both vineyard health and regional resilience.

SUMMARY:Science-management partnership to reduce human-caused large wildfire in the southwest: Lessons and paths
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording (57:57)  \nThe size and frequency of human-caused large wildfires continues to increase across the U.S. Southwest due to an array of evolving social and ecological conditions. Evidence-based prevention strategies are urgently needed\, but foundational research that bridges geospatial and social data to inform these efforts is scarce. Achieving a substantial reduction in human-caused large wildfires also requires effective science-management partnerships that promote interventions grounded in best available science. In this webinar\, speakers present an assortment of interconnected studies across Arizona and New Mexico that were developed in partnership with federal\, state\, and local prevention staff to address these needs. This includes key findings from GIS analyses\, surveys\, interviews\, and focus groups with community members and practitioners that highlight existing successes and opportunities to strengthen human-caused wildfire prevention moving forward. \nPresenters: Catrin Edgeley\, Assistant Professor\, Utah State University; Zander Evans\, Executive Director\, Forest Stewards Guild; Sarah Devenport\, Human Dimensions Specialist\, Ecological Restoration Institute; Gabe Kohler\, Renew Forest Works LLC

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.

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: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: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.
