Fire Communication & Education
Bruce Roundy, Brigham Young University, discusses indicators of resilience and resistance of sagebrush steppe communities associated with soil temperature and water availability as learned from SageSTEP.
In this webinar, Gloria Edwards, Southern Rockies Fire Science Network Program Coordinator, and Génie MontBlanc, Great Basin Fire Science Delivery Project Coordinator, discuss their regional efforts to enhance fire science information sharing.

This video produced by the NW Fire Science Consortium, shows how collaborative efforts are not only working to help find consensus on addressing large landscape-level restoration, but also in management of the post-fire environment. How do you address the cross-boundary, diverse interests on over 100,000 burned acres?

In this paper, the authors describe an approach to facilitate development and implementation of climate change adaptation options in forest management which they applied to a case study area in southwestern Oregon, USA. Their approach relied on participation of local specialists across multiple organizations to establish a science–manager partnership, development of climate change education in multiple formats, hands-on development of adaptation options, and application of tools to incorporate climate change in planned projects.

The Fire Science Core Curriculum – Promoting Awareness, Understanding, and Respect of Fire through Knowledge of the Science is designed to teach the basics of fire to non-fire-professional community members, including instructors and landowners, such as ranchers and farmers. The goal is to reduce risk and fire hazard through education and understanding.
