Upcoming Events

AFSC will host two webinars in the coming weeks:

What do Forest Fires, Caribou, and Monster Truck Tires have in Common? by Matt Nolan of the Water & Environmental Research Center at UAF. Tues, Feb 25, 10:00 am AK time. Register for this webinar.
     Matt will share results from his recent airborne DSLR photogrammetry campaigns throughout the Alaskan Arctic and the Fairbanks area. Compared to LIDAR, the low cost of DSLR photogrammetry means that it is now affordable to make time-series of high-resolution maps, and such time-series open up many new possibilities for analyzing and understanding changes in the environment. How could these new capabilities help fire managers and researchers? More information.

2013 Alaska Fire Modeling Lessons Learned and Review, with Lisa Saperstein, USFWS, Brian Sorbel, NPS, and Robert Ziel, DOF. Wed, Mar 5, 10:00 am AK time. Register for this webinar.
     This is the first in a series of 3 webinars planned by the Alaska Fire Modeling and Analysis Committee for this spring. This presentation will take a look back at some of the modeling work that occurred in
2013, specifically focused on lessons learned that can be carried forward into 2014. Target audience is Alaska fire modelers or anyone with an interest in fire modeling in Alaska. If that includes you, be sure the FMAC knows you are interested by joining their list.
