"An Early Warning Mapping Tool for Forecasting Fire Risk on DoD
Lands in the Arid West"
Thursday, September 13, 2018 (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET)
Wildland fire can reduce mission capabilities and pose
a threat to personnel, property, and public safety. Active fires can shut down
ranges and training areas, and even the potential for fire risks can limit
range use or munition types. Sensitive desert ecosystems in the western U.S.
are negatively impacted by non-native invasive plants, which increase fire
frequency and dominate post-fire landscapes. As a result, nearly one half of
all DoD lands in the U.S. are faced with the consequences of a rapidly changing
fire regime, such as biodiversity loss and fragmentation of native habitats.
With funding from the DoD Legacy Resource Management Program, Conservation
Science Partners and Gage Cartographics developed a web mapping application
that automatically updates on a weekly basis with high resolution contemporary
maps of fire probability across DoD and surrounding lands in the Great Basin,
Mojave, and Sonoran Desert ecosystems. This webinar will introduce interested
users to the access, underlying data, and functionalities of the application.
