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.
A New Foundation for LANDFIRE- Current and Future Innovations LANDFIRE has been a foundational dataset for countless applications within the Forest Service and beyond. The machine learning methodology largely used in the creation of LF National (circa 2001) and LF 2016 Remap was rooted in… read more
On 8 August 2023, a wind-driven wildfire pushed across the city of Lahaina, located in West Maui, Hawaii, resulting in at least 100 deaths and an estimated economic loss of 4-6 billion dollars. The Lahaina wildfire was associated with strong, dry downslope winds gusting to 31-41 ms-1 (60-80 kt)… read more
