SUMMARY:The meteorology of the 2023 Maui wildfire
DESCRIPTION:View recording (53:53). \nOkay. Let me go back. Okay. So let’s go back to not even a year ago\, August eighth two thousand twenty three. You know\, large wildfires hit western and central Maui\, and\, it killed at least a hundred people and resulted in three to six billion dollars of damage\, mainly in the area of of the historic town of Lahaina. \nAnd and this here’s a picture right here of just a portion of Lahaina. This one famous house survived. We could talk about that maybe. But we’re looking in this picture towards the towards the east. These are the West Maui mountains there. You can see some of the some of the grassy areas that that would that burned there and here’s the town.

SUMMARY:A new foundation for LANDFIRE
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe LANDFIRE program is aware that our stakeholders are interested in obtaining more comprehensive 3D vegetation structure information to inform vegetation and species mapping\, carbon accounting\, and physics-based fire behavior models. Understanding how to provide annually updated 3D vegetation and fuel metrics in a way that is useful to the most stakeholders and accounts for the logistical and resource constraints within the program is a LANDFIRE goal over the next few years. LANDFIRE wants to connect with innovators who are motivated by the shared challenge of pulling together disparate data sources across scales and dimensions into logical machine learning or deep learning classification methodologies that are accurate\, repeatable\, and usable by managers. We hope to build these relationships by increasing our engagement across research and management communities to create a new foundation for LANDFIRE.

SUMMARY:Threat-Based Strategic Rangeland Management field workshop for natural resource professionals
DESCRIPTION:Workshop flyer. \nThe first day will cover a variety of topics such as soil ecology\, plant identification\, invasive annual grass and juniper management\, and the foundations behind applying remotely sensed data. The second day will focus on taking the foundations from day 1 and learning how to ensure that planning and management meaningfully influences landscape scale dynamics. Topics will include defending and growing core rangelands\, identifying threats\, prioritizing areas of ecological importance\, synthesizing remotely sensed data\, and applying different types of knowledge to address threats at multiple scales on the ground knowledge to manage at meaningful scales. For those of you familiar\, this will be similar to the college science in the sagebrush steppe field training we do for universities but targeted for natural resource professionals. \nThe training is $100 and will include all meals. Registration will open in March.

SUMMARY:Nuances in fire history and management: Lessons from Oregon
DESCRIPTION:View recording. \nFor this webinar\, we are joined by Dr. Andrew Merschel\, Postdoctoral Scholar with ORISE and the US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station and Dr. Chris Dunn\, Assistant Professor at Oregon State University. \nDr. Andrew Merschel: The largest\, tallest\, and often the longest-lived species of nine conifer genera are found in temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. Newly developed fire and tree establishment histories are challenging paradigms regarding how old-growth trees and forests developed their iconic structurally diversity and their tremendous biomass. This presentation will review annually precise reconstructions of fire and forest development history that reveal how low- to moderate-severity fire and Indigenous fire stewardship historically shaped old trees and forests. \nDr. Chris Dunn: In 2021\, Oregon’s Legislature passed Senate Bill 762 requiring Oregon State University\, in collaboration with Oregon Department of Forestry\, to create a wildland-urban interface map coupled with a wildfire hazard map to narrow regulation of the home ignition zone to only those properties at high or extreme risk. Upon release\, the public exploded with anger\, fueled in part by misinformation and false-narratives\, including threats of violence\, leading to retraction of the map. In this talk I will discuss the difficulty of integrating science with policy\, how the public responded\, and lessons learned relevant to state and local government policy actions.

SUMMARY:Southwest fire season 2023 overview and 2024 outlook
DESCRIPTION:View recording (1:03:34). \nWildfire is part of the landscape in the Southwest. It can be a threat to lives and property\, but it is also crucial to maintaining healthy ecosystems. Please join the Southwest Fire Science Consortium for a webinar reviewing the top 8 biggest fires in the region in 2023 and looking ahead toward fire conditions for summer 2024. Zander Evans and Mike Lynch of the Forest Stewards Guild place the 2023 Southwest fire season within the context of the last 10 years\, pointing out trends and outliers in the timing\, management costs\, vegetation\, and burn severity for each of nine fires larger than 10\,000 acres. Rich Naden discusses the Region’s fire season outlook and 2024 summer weather forecast. This webinar sets the stage for the publication of “2023 Wildfire Season: An Overview Southwestern US”\, the eleventh in a series of annual overviews available from the Southwest Fire Science Consortium and the Ecological Restoration Institute. \nPresenters: Dr. Zander Evans\, Executive Director\, and Mike Lynch\, Midwest Region Director with the Forest Stewards Guild; Richard Naden\, Fire Weather Meteorologist with the National Park Service

SUMMARY:An evolution in thinking: Notes from an unexpected fire season on the San Juan National Forest
DESCRIPTION:View video (21:25). \nIn 2023\, fire managers on the San Juan National Forest and their partners faced many of the same challenges they face every summer; but by embracing different ways of thinking about fire and communicating difficult tradeoffs effectively with partners\, they improved relationships and aligned support through several large\, long duration events. ‘Evolution in Thinking’ depicts SJNF fire managers in candid interviews as they reflect on 2023 fire response decisions and recognize that reflexive thinking may have prevented them from seeing opportunities. Their experience models ‘an evolution\,’ a shift toward more nuanced\, risk-informed\, and strategic fire response\, and it informs ongoing research around fire and risk decisions.

SUMMARY:Level II Invasive Annual Grasses Field Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Workshop webpage. \nIn this two-day field and classroom workshop in Sheridan\, WY\, participants will build upon the information presented in the Level 1 Virtual Workshop: Defending and Growing the Core by Breaking the Cycle of Annual Grass Invasion. This hands-on workshop is designed to take a more in depth look at how you can strategically plan for and manage invasive annual grasses (IAG). Participants will visit various sites including intact core areas and growth opportunity areas where we will discuss potential management approaches in each situation. This is also a great opportunity for participants to see multiple management tactics and their effects on rangeland plant communities over time. We will explore various monitoring techniques and discuss strengths and weaknesses. Through this field workshop\, participants will become familiar with different management practices and improve their capacity to determine which management tactics will best suite their needs in different situations.
