Multiple wildfires have ignited in Oregon and Washington. I overlaid the USFS modeled burn probability map (Riley et al., 2025) with the fire perimeters of the Little Giant Fire (WA) and Grasshopper Fire (OR). Both fires are burning in areas having relatively high modeled burn probabilities

🚨 New paper, led by Cristina Barber. We used high-resolution aerial imagery to study tree mortality in a tropical landscape. Large, isolated trees were most likely to die--alarming finding! @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Thank you! We're exploring a similar approach comparing UAS and satellite imagery in a post-fire environment here in Idaho. We're particularly interested in investigating the consequences of hillslope runoff and erosion.
