Burn severity is key to understanding the environmental impacts of wildfires. The Western Fire & Forest Resilience Collaborative’s Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. Brian Harvey of the University of Washington, and his lab group are developing an atlas of multiple on-the-ground burn severity metrics across forests of the western United States. This atlas is calibrated using a network of more than 1,000 field plots with quantitative burn severity measurements. In this webinar, Dr. Michele S. Buonanduci and Dr. Harvey present new results from this western US atlas with a focus on applications in the US Northern Rockies and the Pacific Northwest. The webinar is co-hosted by the Western Fire & Forest Resilience Collaborative (a program of the @cary_institute ), the Northwest Fire Science Consortium @nwfirescience and the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network @NRFireScience .
