The SCIENCEx webinar series brings together scientists and land management experts from across U.S. Forest Service research stations and beyond to explore the latest science and best practices for addressing large natural resource challenges across the country.
These webinars will be primarily management focused, but with applicability for participants from across sectors. SCIENCEx will typically be organized as week-long webinar ‘blitzes’ around salient topics, allowing for deep-dives into subtopics or dynamics within specific geographies.The Forest Service Research and Development SCIENCEx webinar series brings together scientists and land management experts from across the U.S. Forest Service and beyond to explore the latest science. Fire is our theme for this ScienceX series and will include presentations by Rocky Mountain Research Station scientists among others. Registration is required.
