UAF invites people to take a wildfire walk
"...The University of Alaska Fairbanks will celebrate a new interpretive trail July 11 at the 2021 Yankovich Road Fire site, where 3.5 acres burned within 100 yards of a neighborhood.
The Wildfire Walk educates visitors about the fire site through nine interpretive signs describing the relationship between wildfire and the boreal forest, fire science and climate change, and wildfire prevention...."

Really enjoyed this study from Ruby Paroissien at UNSW and the Australian Plantbank, looking at seed dispersal in the wet sclerophyll forests of SE Aus following the 2019/20 disaster fire season.
They found that post-fire seed dispersal from rainforest species was almost entirely absent 😟 hugely concerning when we have begun to see some of our oldest rainforests burn.
A highlight of the paper is Ruby's hand-drawn seed illustrations!

"Advanced degree in a wildfire-related discipline (e.g., fire science, fire ecology, environmental science with a focus on wildfire, forestry, geography with fuels modeling experience)
Direct experience in wildfire behavior modeling, vegetation fuels mapping, or wildfire hazard assessment.
Experience with wildfire modeling systems (e.g., FARSITE, FlamMap, FSim, Phoenix RapidFire, Vesta Mk2)
Experience with cloud computing environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and their associated data processing and machine learning services."

Cluster member Gabrielle Boisramé is based at the Desert Research Institute and has been studying the transformative impact of Yosemite’s natural fire experiment for over a decade.
“Our results hopefully give forest managers an extra reason to try this approach in more areas,” Boisramé says. “And that can give us a better idea of where the strategy works well and where it may have less of an impact. This project is a great example of scientists and managers working together in a place that the public cares a lot about.”

Every moment counts when pushing back against #wildfire.
In this 2024 paper University of Utah based Cluster member Derek Mallia and collaborators write about how #GenerativeAI tools can support predicting fire behavior.

I’ve been following the #ParkFire a couple hours north of me. Our #SierraNevada mountains are a laboratory for fire management.
I didn’t realize how many #cameras are now spread across the state.
#UCSanDiego has quite a program.

Forest Management: A Delicate Balance
In California's Sierra Nevada, strategic forest thinning combats wildfires and influences #ecohydrology and #biodiversity.
The Sagehen Project, a collaboration with the US Forest Service, uses advanced data to study these effects.
This approach helps understand #forest resilience, stream health, and fire behavior, aiming for a harmonious balance with nature.
