Things I learned at #wfcc22… I’m joining a cult! #firescience

So proud of Dan Hunter who successfully defended his MSc on the impacts of wildfire on amphibians and nailed it! First grad student through the lab gets the inaugural drink from the « soaker lab boot ». Also study system cookies! Best tail clip yet!

Guess I’m typing with one hand for a while

We're hiring influencers and by that I mean firefighters who influence the forest to no longer be on fire.

Finding the most beautiful tree is not a part of this project but here I am an hour later, still searching… #lidar #firefuels #terrascan #remotesensing

The large #wildfires in #Chile are spreading quickly across large areas of non-native plantations of radiata pine and eucalyptus, many of them planted by foreigners during a dictatorship. These maps show recent MODIS heat detections on top of mapping of plantations (purple). 1/x

While 1000s evacuate from Canadian wildfires, oil execs are having a 'fun Mardi Gras-themed costume party' in the Rockies. Keynote speaker is Alex Epstein, who says climate is 'not a crisis.' And AB premier Danielle Smith is headlining too. desmog.com/2023/08/24/pre… DeSmog

Excited to share some of my research on fuel management longevity and hear from other students of wildfire!! Thanks for having me @ciffc

My research acknowledges that forest fuels in AB aren’t being rapidly impacted by MPB anymore, and focuses on how these structure and fuel legacies will impact fire potential going forward!

Just asking for it at this point… .FINALforsurethistime

Had a great time at IAWF fire behaviour and fuels conference in Boise last week! Thanks to everyone who came to have a chat about how fuels change in the WUI over time since treatment, and the impacts of variable mountain pine mortality on stands in Jasper 😊🔥🪲

Feels a bit surreal to be preparing for my defence in two days on how these MPB-altered fuels may impact fire potential... while they're on fire! Hearts out to all personnel working operationally and keeping people safe.

Congratulations to T Skretting on the successful defense of her MSc thesis on characterizing mountain pine beetle impacts on forest structure and comparison with airborne #lidar data! She came through with very minor revisions from a great committee fRI Research Canada Wildfire

Regarding mountain pine beetle and the #JasperWildfire, this is a good article: You’re going to get a high intensity crown fire under those conditions, with or without mountain-pine-beetle kill.” (Dr. Jen Beverly, University of Alberta) nationalpost.com/news/canada/wh…

dNBR of the #Jasper wildfire with all of the NG-CFFDRS plots analyzed in my MSc. Great work by Natalie Krizan!

Proud of MSc T Skretting who convocated today ULethbridge! Tristan's work on pine beetle impacts on fire fuels in Jasper National Park, Parks Canada will be foundational for understanding fuel consumption/fire behaviour of the Jasper Fire Complex, which burned 30% of the town on the day of her defense

Excited to announce that our work in #JasperNationalPark is featured in Canada Wildfire's fall newsletter! We show how fuels management and mountain pine beetle severity levels change fuel structures and discuss pre-fire fuels in the context of the Jasper Wildfire

Happy to share I’ve recently started a contract position with the Canadian Forest Service at AFC examining #wildlandfuels and #firebehaviour in the Acadian-Wabanaki forests of Eastern Canada! Excited to discover more about fuels in a new ecosystem!
