Excited to share our new paper modeling historical cultural ignitions across a large landscape in N. California! Working with folks from the Karuk Tribe, we collaboratively developed a spatially-explicit landscape-scale model to simulate cultural burning. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ea…

Crystal Kolden et al. (incl. @climate_guy, @Jones_MattW) write on wildfires. TL;DR: 384 Mha of land was burnt, and Canada experienced its most severe fire season of the modern era. nature.com/articles/s4301…

🚨🔥🌲Important new paper by Kim Davis et al. providing "up-to-date info. on the extent to which active forest management reduces wildfire severity & facilitates better outcomes for people & forests...." @usfs_rmrs, @FCFCMontana, @nature_org sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Wow - very important new paper out: “Tamm review: A meta-analysis of thinning, prescribed fire, and wildfire effects on subsequent wildfire severity in conifer dominated forests of the Western US” led by Kim Davis at @usfs_rmrs sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


I have basically been off this platform for half a year or so. What did I miss? Any great papers announced here that I should have seen?

From our archives: Scientists are turning to the knowledge of traditional people for a deeper understanding of the natural world. What they are learning is helping them discover more about everything from melting Arctic ice to controlling wildfires. e360.yale.edu/features/nativ…

American forests might seem to be burning more frequently than ever. But a new book shows that the U.S. is actually operating at a severe fire deficit, writes @ben_a_goldfarb: theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

I've been staying away from the app formally known as Twitter for a while, but I've come back on for some self promotion! ;) Here's an article of mine recently published in JHE... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@NWFireScience is excited to announce a new synthesis: Indigenous Fire Stewardship For Fire Mgmt & Ecol Restoration In PNW. It's a systemic review of themes in this literature including social, ecol & policy aspects of IFS + a 66-article annotated biblio. ow.ly/oMzG50Q3EOz

The scale of the fires currently burning across northern Australia is pretty unfathomable. This animation visualises just the last two months of fire captured by #DEAHotspots - for context, the map covers an area larger than France, Spain and Germany combined...

Excited to get this literature review out! Almost 40 years of social science about wildfire in the US Southwest summarized and organized using the @fireadaptednet framework. Packed full of recommended future research directions too 🔥 publish.csiro.au/WF/WF23102

Our (myself @thatpollenguy etal.) new study from NW Tasmanian islands show that #Indigenous people shaped landscape in the area in that last 2ka (not climate), resulting in mosaic landscape of open and close 🌱 communities. Link: doi.org/10.1080/155648…
