This is the first in a series of Wildfire Prevention Summits. This premiere event will examine the four primary causes (Arson, Accidental, Roadside & Utility Infrastructure) of wildfire ignitions with a focus on Roadside and Utility Infrastructure ignitions in the Western United States. The intent of the Summit is to provide a venue for an exchange of dialogue regarding current issues, best practices and emerging solutions on wildfire prevention. Our speakers and panels will provide a national perspective while discussing regional, statewide and local initiatives.

Wildfire and the Biosphere initiative

Know Innovation, supported by the National Science Foundation, is hosting a Wildfire and the Biosphere Innovation Lab to generate creative strategies and new research collaborations aimed at improving understanding of different types of fires across temporal and spatial scales, predicting feedbacks between wildfire and living systems, and improving the representation of biological processes in models.

The 5-day virtual Innovation Lab will take place May 17-19, May 21, and May 26, 2021. PI-level researchers-- biologists (molecular to global scale), engineers, Earth scientists, physical scientists, social scientists, and computer scientists-- are strongly encouraged to apply before the deadline of March 1 (lab application).

Forest land use and management strategies to deliver European climate and bio economy policies – relevance to California? Virtual FFERAL Lecture

A recent evaluation undertaken for the European Forest Institute asked how current understanding of forest systems can help policy makers to balance the apparently competing demands on forest lands. This evaluation will be summarized along with comment on the associated policy implementation. Some of the context and analysis undertaken in this study is thought to be relevant in California.

Fire effects on plant and lichen diversity across fire regimes: Virtual FFERAL Lecture

In this talk, Dr. Jesse Miller will discuss recent research exploring post-fire plant and lichen communities across numerous wildfires that span substantial ecological gradients, using multiple approaches to characterize both fire effects (e.g., local and landscape-scale fire severity) and plant and lichen communities (e.g., phylogenetic diversity, dispersal strategies, and taxonomic diversity).
