Communication professionals and fire practitioners with significant media experience discuss challenges and success in communicating about fire through media outlets. Panelists share their experiences and provide suggestions for those looking to begin or improve communication through various forms of media. Following a moderated panel discussion, there will be time for audience Q/A.
Panelists:
Lorena Williams is a Public Affairs Specialist and Public Information Officer for the San Juan National Forest in Colorado.
Bob Crimian is a program manager for COMPASS, a science communication organization that champions, connects, and supports diverse scientist leaders to improve the well-being of people and nature.

The 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.

In this LANDFIRE Office Hour, USFS, RMRS Quantitative Ecologist, Jessi Brown discusses how dryland ecosystems are facing threats from invasive species and altered fire patterns, risking shifts to less desirable states. Prioritizing areas for management can be achieved by considering ecological resilience and resistance to invasives, alongside LANDFIRE’s Biophysical Settings (BpS) data. This aids in assessing ecosystem status and choosing suitable management approaches in the sagebrush biome. Scroll down for more resources!
