Great suggestion! I will not travel to the USA, but will join fantastic grad students at OSU remotely in April.
US-based organizations (AGU, ESA, AAGβ¦) please offer hybrid meetings to allow international students/researchers to safely participate without risking detention or deportation.

Please see our new paper in Nature Communications!
We used 1,851 tree-ring fire-scar sites and contemporary fire perimeters to quantify the prevalence of wildfire from 1600-1880 compared to 1984-2022. π§ͺππ₯
Our key findings are as follows ...
Deeply honoured to receive this recognition. Deeply motivated to collaborate and partner to seek proactive ways to coexist with fire π₯π²π₯

Community forest managers used innovative pyrosilviculture to reduce fuels + models show mitigated risk of crown fire π²π₯

Thrilled to have our article on coexisting with wildfire be selected as the CJFR Editorβs Choice! π₯π₯
An interdisciplinary collaboration across multiple universities + expert practitioners for a deep dive into π₯ impacts, drivers + transformations.
We agree + concluded: βWithout paradigm shifts in wildfire response, mitigation, + governance - combined with MEANINGFUL ACTION at federal + provincial levels TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE through EMISSIONS REDUCTION BY TRANSITIONING AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS - BC will be overwhelmed by extreme wildfiresβ
