Restoring Fire to Eastern Oak Forests: A Conference on the State of our Knowledge | |
|
Project# 05-S-05; Principal Investigator: Patrick Brose | |
|
Objectives of this conference are: 1) Pool and synthesize the current state of fire/oak knowledge so that it is readily available for land managers involved in prescription writing, forest plan revisions, implementing burn plans, and related tasks. 2) Expose practitioners to research results and application techniques from another area may be applicable in their own. 3) Highlight what current research is underway. 4) Idendity knowledge and application gaps that need further research. |

A Workshop to Develop a Comprehensive Approach to Identifying the Essential Elements of Collaboration |
|
|
Project# 03-S-03; Principal Investigator: Pamela Jakes |
|
|
This JFSP proposal seeks to characterize and compare different collaborative planning efforts for community protection and ecosystem restoration related to wildfire, and to determine key elements of collaborative success (Task 2 of AFP, 2003-1). There is a rich literature on collaboration on a broad range of natural resource issues, and a soon-to-be completed project supported by the USDA Forest Service will provide a synthesis of this literature in terms of what it means for hazardous fuels management. We propose holding a facilitated workshop of land managers, partners, and social science researchers who would use this synthesis as the foundation to build a research proposal to identify the essential elements of collaboration and blueprint for managers seeking more collaborative relationships with their partners. |

Fire in the West: a climate fuels assessment symposium |
|
|
Project# 02-S-02; Principal Investigator: Thomas Swetnam |
|
|
Forum: Bring together key decision makers, information providers, researchers, and managers.to discuss climate implications for management of forest fire hazards and prescribed burning. Consensus Climate Forecast. Climate forecast experts will present their latest seasonal climate forecasts. They will also convene in a special session to create a consensus climate forecast for the Western U.S. for the 2002 fire season. The consensus forecast will be summarized to participants at the conference, and conveyed in print, in the Web, and as a press release. Stimulate Thought and Discussion: Top researchers will present results of cutting-edge research on the interaction between climate and fire in a half-day symposium. Folks will include commentary by regional fire managers on the relevance of this research to fire management practices. A second half-day symposium will explore the climate-fire nexus from the perspective of social context and community interaction. Outlook: Climate forecasters and fuels experts will present information essential to determining the potential severity of the upcoming fire season. Feedback: As in past years, participant feedback is a key element to improving communication between climate and fire professionals, and to improving these workshops. Participants will contribute much valued ideas and viewpoints on fire management needs for climate information, and climate research needs for information on fire management practices. Special Session: A small group of specialists, coordinated by Sam Billington of the Southwest Coordination Center (SWCC) and Tim Brown of CEPA/Desert Research Institute will prepare an outlook for the upcoming fire season and an accompanying expert report. Their work will be informed by the climate forecast and fuels assessment talks of the previous two meeting days. plus specific material that they will be requested to bring just for this occasion. They will devote part of their time to scenario building, based on climate, fuels and other factors; the other part of their time will be devoted to writing. The report will be prepared for immediate distribution to land management administrative units, and it will be made available via the SWCC web site and mirrored at the CEFA/DRI and CLIMAS iceS sites. 4 press releases will accompany the report. |

Workshop on Fire and Climate History in Western North and South America - Tucson, Arizona: March 23-28, 2002 |
|
|
Project# 01-U-02; Principal Investigator: Thomas Swetnam |
|
|
The purpose of this workshop was to discuss recent advances in fire history and fire-climate research and to consider ways that different approaches might be integrated to develop a better understanding of the vegetation-fire-climate system. The workshop was attended by 70 scientists from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, England, Mexico, Russia, Switzerland, and the US. Discussions benefited from the concerted and collaborative effort among traditionally independent disciplines. Meeting Reviews Interannual to Decadal Drought
and Wildfire in the Western

5th Symposium on Fire and Forest Meteorology Joint With 2nd International Wildland Fire Ecology and Fire Management Congress |
|
|
Project # 01-S-04; Principal Investigator: Jim Brenner |
|
|
This meeting brought together public officials, agency administrators, researchers, resource specialists, consultants, and students to address a variety of issues and research topics on wildfire, meteorology and climate.. The meeting was hosted by the AMS Committee on Fire and Forest Meteorology. 5th Symposium on Fire and Forest Meteorology 2nd International Wildland Fire Ecology and Fire Management Congress |

2001 Fire and Climate Workshops |
|
|
Project # 01-S-03; Principal Investigator: Francis M.Fujioka |
|
|
A Fire and Climate Workshop was conducted on February 14-16, 2001 in Tucson, Arizona. The workshop was designed to bring together key individuals from fire prone regions in the continental United States, climate experts, and officials from federal land management agencies to review the 2000 fire season, discuss potential fire risk for 2001, and identify ways that climate information can be better integrated into planning and decision making activities. An additional goal was to identify a process for sustaining interactions between fire managers, researchers, and climate forecasters to assure timely and appropriate provision of climate information. |

Fourth Symposium on Fire and Forest Meteorology: November 13-15, 2001 |
|
|
Project # 01-S-02; Principal Investigator: Sue Ferguson |
|
|
The 4th Symposium on Fire and Meteorology was held on November 13-15, 2001 in Reno, Nevada. This symposium was designed so that scientists could share experiences and information on new or changing technologies in weather and climate that affect fire, fuels and smoke as well as addressing the relationship between weather and climate with fuels inventory, treatments, evaluation and monitoring. A second goal was to foster interest and broaden understanding of fire among a new generation of scientists as they consider careers in wildland research. |

|
|
Project # 98-1-1-07; Principal Investigator: Robert Keane |
|
|
The Joint Fire Science Conference and Workshop, Crossing the Millennium: Integrating Spatial Technologies and Ecological Principles for a New Age in Fire Management, was held in Boise, Idaho on June 15 to 17, 1999. In attendance were 239 researchers, managers, students, and vendors. Fourteen percent of those in attendance came from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Senegal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Included within this document are both complete papers and (where papers were not submitted) the original abstracts of presentations given during the GIS and Remote Sensing Session, Mapping Session, Hazard and Risk Session, Modeling Session, Treatments Session, and the Poster Session of the Joint Fire Science Conference and Workshop. The Workshop Summary Report and lists of conference sponsors, participants and vendors are also included. Conference
