Restoring the West Conference 2015: Fire Ecology & Restoration in the Interior West
-
On numerous occasions, a riparian theme has been suggested for the Restoring the West Conference. We listened, and this years theme is Managing for Resilient Riparian Corridors. These areas where water and land meet are vital for water quantity and quality, biological heath and diversity, and social values.
Past, present, and future in the forests of California's Sierra Nevada: variability in forest response to environmental change, and the role of management in promoting ecosystem resilience
During this Webinar, Dr. Safford will contrast the ecology and temporal trends (historical to current to projected future) of lower montane (oak woodland, yellow pine, mixed conifer) vs. upper montane (red fir) and subalpine forests in the Sierra Nevada, focusing on impacts of three classes of environmental stressors: climate change, wildfire, and invasive species.

We have the pleasure to announce the 5th International Conference of Fire Effects on Soil Properties.
The conference aims to:
Vortices and Wildland Fire
Scott Goodrick, a research meteorologist with the USDA Forest Service, and Jason Forthofer, a mechanical engineer with the USDA Forest Service, will present a summary of vortices and wildland fire. Vortices are almost always present in the wildland fire environment and can sometimes interact with the fire in unpredictable ways, causing extreme fire behavior and safety concerns.
