Topics and speakers in the recording include:
Mark Morales, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and Andrew Baker, USDA Forest Service: Choctaw Nation agreements with USDA Forest Service.
Gesse Bullock, Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas: Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas fire crew and partnerships.
This seminar was co-hosted by the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center, the Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center, and the U.S. Forest Service.

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.

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.

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 a powerful story of transformation in the face of repeated wildfire events.

On August 5, 1949, a fire was spotted at Mann Gulch, near Helena, Montana. The U.S. Forest Service dispatched a team of 15 smokejumpers, who were met by a fire guard from a nearby campground. When the fire blew up, thirteen firefighters were killed, three escaped. While the Forest Service studied what happened and revised its training and safety measures, few outside the agency remembered the tragedy. That is not until Norman Maclean published a meditation on it, entitled Young Men and Fire, did the event connect with national and cultural interests—and continues to thirty years later.
Fire historian Stephen Pyne and host Jamie Lewis discussed the fire on its 75th anniversary and how Maclean’s book has affected the American fire community.
