Happy to share the new report, Braiding Indigenous and Western Knowledge for Climate-Adapted Forests, by a writing team of 40 experts, including several AFE leaders and members👏

We are seeking 3 post docs starting in fall 2024 relating to:   1. Oak forest growth and sustainability   2. Wildland fire effects on tree growth and wood properties   3. Fire regime modeling and mapping:   More details at: https://t.co/ELMjOjvl3O.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT @EliotJacobson

I was interviewed for this episode by @latifnasser. He was super fun to talk to. Hopefully more tree-ring stories to come!!

A severe marine heatwave has emerged off the coast of Florida as water temperatures have soared into the 90s. Multiple buoys in Everglades National Park are reporting water temperatures as high as 95°F (35°C).

The FireGeneration Collaborative has a story published in Teen Vogue! They're going to make youth involvement in prescribed burning and Indigenous cultural burning fashionable. https://t.co/QMb57KlTrW

Sea surface temperatures have skyrocketed to above normal levels across nearly every major European sea in the last month, especially in the Baltic Sea, North Sea and western Mediterranean Sea.

Everything is happening. While climate scientists have been talking about North Atlantic sea surface temperatures these last few days, what's going on with sea ice in Antarctica is even more extreme, nearly 2.4 million km² below the 1991-2020 mean, with a big jump down today.

It’s a good time to remember that dark, yellow, and red days have a long history in the eastern U.S. @anemonella3 @Danoak6 @IJWildlandFire

New project with @usfs_nrs, @fsWoodLab, @usfs_psw launching on @USFSPlumas🚀. We’ll be poking on burned trees across the U.S. to know fire’s effects on tree growth and wood properties.

This really happened on the bootleg fire…

“These are eureka moments, and we’re about to have a lot more of them.”

Im briefly emerging to announce where I’ve been. That is: fully immersed in fellowship @HarvardForest with a warm crew incl. the likes of @YellowBuckeye @chlorophileB, D Orwig, and #treesofthepast

Check out the agenda for the upcoming 7th Fire in Eastern Oak Forests Conference! Early-bird registration and poster/flash talk registration deadlines have been extended to April 14th! See you there!

Join us next week, Tue. Jan. 17 @. 1:00 CST, for a webinar on #Rxfire, thinning, shortleaf restoration, and the importance of funding for these efforts. Register here:

Save the date! The 7th Fire in Eastern Oak Forests Conference will be held May 16-18, 2023 in Tyler, TX. With our partners @apfirescience and @tpwdnews

Interested in fire and oaks??

1/ With August now over, the ongoing soil-moisture drought in southwestern North America has now, at 23 years old and counting, matched the duration, and probably exceeded the severity, of the “megadrought” that struck the region from 1571–1593.

Hello #dendro folks. I have a funded research position for an interested PhD student. Position is not tied to any of our funded work so student research focus could be most anything tree-ring related. Thanks! https://t.co/WRSL3kJh5X

Inspiring turnout at South Carolina Prescribed Fire Council Meeting! Thanks for the invitation to participate and share!! @APfirescience
