Hello NW Fire Science Readers,
Welcome back for another roundup of new fire science resources—from articles and reports to webinars, upcoming events, and news, we're here to keep you updated! We especially hope you'll attend our
webinar next week on climate and larch regeneration, watch the
trailer for the upcoming Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE) video in the works, and enjoy learning about another one of our valued team members in the features 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!

Meet the team!
Mike Coughlan, University of Oregon Ecosystem Workforce Program
Michael Coughlan is a NWFSC steering committee member and has been contributing to NWFSC efforts for many years. He is assistant research professor and associate director of the Ecosystem Workforce Program at the University of Oregon. An environmental anthropologist by training, his research focuses on socio-ecological dynamics of wildfire, past and present with specific interests in how human institutions mediate both positive and negative relationships between people, fire, and landscapes. Coughlan has specific interests in conducting applied research and in translating relevant science to practitioners and managers to apply to real world problems. Coughlan has authored and co-authored science syntheses for the NWFSC since 2019 covering topics such as social vulnerability and Indigenous fire stewardship. He is currently leading projects in Oregon and the PNW broadly that directly relate to NWFSC focal areas of landscape resilience, Westside wildfire, and wildfire smoke. We are so glad to have Mike on our team, and greatly appreciate the perspectives, scholarship, and engagement he brings to our team!
We will continue to highlight all our team members in forthcoming newsletters.

FASMEE News: Learning and Burning.
Teaser and upcoming feature video!
NWFSC, along with several other western exchanges, are partners on outreach and communication around the FASMEE (Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment) project, which is led by PI and NWFSC Steering Committee member Adam Watts. In October, the project collected measurements from a (very rare) stand-replacing prescribed fire on the Fishlake National Forest. Along with the Great Basin Fire Science Exchange, NWFSC is helping to create a video of the Monroe Mountain burn with the help of NWFSC's FASMEE liaison Vita Wright. We are excited to release the
trailer for the upcoming feature video, which will be out soon, so stay tuned!
Learn more about the project.
