Product Type
Date Published
This technical paper describes wildfire risk analysis products commonly used in the Pacific Northwest. It compares and explains key differences in the technical information behind commonly used risk products, such as the values at risk, purpose of the assessment, fire modeling methods, data sources, and data vintages; and it articulates considerations for informed selection and use of risk products by potential users.

Wild and intentionally ignited fires are not new to North American landscapes or to the Indigenous cultures whose ancestral places encompass them. For millennia, Indigenous fire stewardship has been regionally and locally distributed across North American ecosystems.
Women in Forest Management Conference
-
Join us for the first-ever Women in Forest Management Conference, a gathering designed to advance, connect, and inspire professionals across forestry and natural resources.
This event will include:
California Forest Science Symposium
-
Join us for the California Forest Science Symposium (CFSS) in Sacramento, CA on February 18th – 20th, 2026. This joint event—organized by the California Society of American Foresters, California Fire Science Consortium, California Forest Pest Council, and UCANR Cooperative Extension —will spotlight the latest science and practical applications driving forest management across California.
4th International Smoke Symposium (ISS4)
-
The purpose of this symposium is to once again convene air quality, fire professionals, health scientists, and smoke specialists from the research community, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local/state/federal government agencies and tribes to discuss the state-of-the-science and state-of-the-applied-science for smoke management and addressing the air quality and public health impacts of
International Fire Behaviour and Fuels Conference
-
Wildfires present an increasing challenge to humanity and the ecosystems and atmosphere we depend on. The ability of societies to respond to larger and more destructive wildfire events and mitigate against further climate impacts is also increasingly challenged.
North American Forest Ecology Workshop
-
This conference will host plenary talks, scientific presentations, and field trips exploring the science and management of how to create and maintain resilient forest ecosystems and the human communities embedded in them.
After the Flames Workshop
-
The After the Flames Conference and Workshop is a dynamic, solutions-driven event focused on post-fire recovery. It brings together wildfire-impacted communities, response agencies, and recovery experts to share practical tools, build partnerships, and drive real progress in restoring landscapes and building resilience.
Extreme Colorado 2020 fires: remotely sensed burn severity influenced by treatments, forest types, and days of burning
Year of Publication

Publication Type
Forest managers are faced with escalating size, severity, and cost of wildfires. To mitigate this, U.S. federal land management agencies are increasing forest treatments such as mechanical thinning and prescribed fire. While there is a growing body of work on treatment–wildfire interactions, treatment impacts in increasingly extreme wildfire situations remain unknown.
