As part of this project we solicited comments and
feedback from a wide range of land managers and fire professionals. Part of
this effort included coordination with the USFS Remote Sensing Applications
Center
(RSAC) Eleventh Biennial Conference. As part of this conference we
organized:
The conference sessions were
organized by the Forest Public Access Resource Center (ForestPARC)
and more information can be found on the following website:
http://www.fs.fed.us/eng/rsac/RS2006/
- A synthesis of the current
status of remote sensing methods to monitor active fire behavior
and post-fire
effects.
A series of researcher
presentations.
A manager & researcher panel,
detailed below.
-
A Roundtable Discussion in
which land managers, BAER team leaders, and notable fire science/ecology
researchers, who also attended the sessions, could provide their input
into both what research is still needed and how such research (in their
opinion) should be presented or described. Topics included:
- According to managers, what are
the data needs and information gaps?
- According to researchers, what
are the current challenges for providing this information?
- How can we work together to
overcome these challenges?
The panel
contained a representative cross-section of researchers and
managers, including: Caty Clifton, Colin Hardy, Randy McKinley,
Annette Parsons, Brian Schwind, Henry Shovic, and Dean Sirucek. The results of this panel discussion are contained within the
conference proceedings [Link
