Mapping predicted ecological states at landscape scales using remote-sensing data and machine learning

“Here, we extend these frameworks to larger landscapes with a machine learning approach that integrates large-scale, high-resolution vegetation data with identified ecological states from a data-driven state-and-transition model developed for a landscape-scale Ecological Site Group.” Read HERE Kleist, N. J., C. T. Domschke, A. C. Knight, T. W. Nauman, M. C. Duniway, and S. K. Carter. 2025. “ Mapping Predicted Ecological States at…

Cost-Effectiveness of Linear Fuel Breaks in Wildfire Management: A Case Study from Southern Idaho

“Linear fuel breaks (LFBs)—strips of land where vegetative fuels are removed or modified—are intended to reduce flame lengths, slow fire spread, and improve access and safety for fire crews.” Read HERE

A Year of Rebuilding and Reflection Since the 2025 LA Fires

“In the winter of 2025, a year ago this week, the Los Angeles area experienced a cascade of fires — among them the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire — that led to the evacuation of thousands of people from their homes and tested the resilience of emergency systems, community organizations, and local governments alike.…

Using terrestrial laser scanning to estimate mass of hand-built slash piles following hazardous fuels treatments

” A total of 16 pile masses were measured across Colorado, United States, using a previously developed pile measurement methodology, using TLS, and by taking apart the pile and weighing the contents of the pile, to determine if TLS would be an adequate method for predicting pile masses.” Read HERE Guth A, Dauner M, Fowler A,…
