In partnership with scientists and managers, we develop and host webinars to provide a forum for sharing information about specific topics or scientific resources in support of fire and fuels management.
We also maintain a broad Northern Rockies-relevant Recorded Media Database that contains webinars and presentations from multiple sources and can be searched by presenter, date, topic, and ecosystem.
An introduction to the 2025 Fire and Fuels Modeling Workshop, Tom DeMeo gives an introduction to monitoring, why we monitor, and suggestions for attendees going through the workshop.
Duncan Lutes talks about what FEAT-FIREMON Integrated (FFI) is, common uses and tools, and how to generate reports using the program.
Susan Prichard discusses landscape fire severity mapping and her research on measures of tree mortality on the Tripod Complex Fire, including impacts of pre-fire treatments on fire severity.
Heather gives an overview of estimating fire severity and composite burn index and then shows examples and answers questions.

Learn about the connections between freshwater ecosystems (including beaver dam or beaver dam analog (BDAs)-created wetlands) and wildfire. Recorded on: April 15, 2025 Description: Given the increasing severity of wildfires and their associated impacts across the country, there is significant… read more
We know surprisingly little about how burning impacts the health of trees that survive fire. Can fire increase water availability and growth for surviving trees by reducing forest density? Or do the fire injuries that a tree sustains override any potential benefit? Answering these questions can… read more
Wildland firefighters are exposed to hazards when working; these hazards can result in serious injury or death. Understanding the activities in which firefighters are engaged when they are injured, the hazards to which they were exposed during that activity that caused the injury, and the… read more
Across the western United States, wildfires are posing increasing costs to ecosystems and society. These trends present persistent challenges for managing community risk to wildfire and necessitate the implementation of active forest management practices that reduce wildfire hazard. One such… read more
