January 2024 Newsletter

Hello NW Fire Science Readers,
Happy new year! We are glad to have you along with us in 2024 as we continue our work to help elevate, accelerate, and apply fire science research in the northwest. We hope that everyone had a restorative holiday season and wrap up to 2023. The highlight of our December was attending the Association for Fire Ecology Conference in Monterey, CA. We met so many great people at our table, enjoyed presenting our various Special Sessions and Fire Circles, celebrated awards to fire scientists in the northwest, and were inspired by the special closing ceremony. Read on to see more of these highlights throughout this newsletter, amongst the usual roundup of new fire science pubs, news, resources, and more summarized below.
As always, please don't hesitate to
reach out if you have any questions, resources to highlight in future newsletters, or other news to share; we are always happy to hear from you!
Autumn Ellison
NWFSC Program Coordinator

Association for Fire Ecology Conference
Many of our NWFSC team attended the AFE Conference last month in Monterey. Here, our PI EJ Davis is highlighting one of our resources at our exhibitor table. We were so busy that we didn't get pictures of many other things, but we also helped organize and present in several special sessions and fire circles, including those focused on the JFSP Fire Science Exchange Network with our partners across the country. We learned so much, met so many partners, and had such a great time!

AFE Awards from the PNW
Becky Kerns: 2023 Outstanding Associate Editor for Fire Ecology
Our very own Becky Kerns was honored with the following notes from the editor: "Becky has been a mainstay for the journal, almost since its inception. Her reviews are always thoughtful, constructive, and of the highest quality. She has never turned down an assignment, even when her work schedule was total chaos. Her unceasing quest to get comprehensive reviews in a timely fashion has made her one of our most valuable Associate Editors. Thank you, Becky, for all that you do for the journal Fire Ecology."
Paul Hessburg: Harold Biswell Lifetime Achievement Award
One of our longtime and revered fire scientists from the PNW, Paul was awarded the 2023 Harold Biswell Lifetime Achievement Award for his significant contributions to fire ecology and management in the western United States. Lifetime achievement awards are presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to fire ecology and management and who have inspired and mentored a generation of fire ecologists.
Join us in relaying big congrats to Becky and Paul!
