During my PhD with Brian Buma, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to resample plots from his dissertation to see if changes in tree composition caused by multiple, rapid disturbances in a Rocky Mountain forest have persisted through time. Read about it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

OK, as we go into February, I'm officially worried about our snowpack numbers across the Western US. Less snow means dryer soils and fuels heading into the summer and I don't like fire years where the high country comes online early.
Map of Western US showing snow-water equivalent by basin. Most basins are well below the historical median with the Northwest, Great Basin, NorCal, and the Southwest all below 50% of historical averages.

Anyone out there have thoughts on how to remove duplicates from NIFC fire polygon data? There are a lot of observations that aren't 100% matches (spelling errors, slight name differences) but are clearly the same fire. I don't think using an erase in terra will work because data span multiple years

I'm stoked to be able to talk alongside several talented scientists about aspen and fire management! Join us on November 20th 2:00-3:30pm MST. Registration is required! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
title: wood you believe it? Aspen interactions with fire and wildfire spread in the southwestern USA. Webinar, November 20, 2:00-3:00 pm MST

body: Have you wondered how aspen interacts with fire, or how fire managers approach aspen forests during fire planning and suppression? Join us for a webinar with presenters Matt
Harris, Max Cook, and Trevor Carter where we dive into various aspects of fire x aspen interactions. This webinar is eligible for 1.5 Category 1 Continuing Forestry Education (CFE) credits through the Society of American Foresters. Learn about: the ability of aspen to slow fire growth and act as a firebreak, Fire radiative power/burn severity in aspen forests of the Southern Rockies, The relationship between stand composition and suppression strategies: whether fire lines are more likely to hold when built through aspen.

Presented by the Joint Fire Science Program. Registration is required.

Of course many federal workers can just “find another job”. But the point is that the jobs we do are done for the *public good*. There are no private sector corollaries. We do things that are largely not profitable and that is on purpose. We do work that benefits everyone, if sometimes indirectly.
