Book excerpt: During the summer of 2000, Americans from coast to coast witnessed the worst fire season in recorded history. Daily news reports brought dramatic images of vast swaths of land going up in smoke, from the mountains of Montana and Wyoming, to the scrublands of Texas, to Los Alamos, New Mexico, where a controlled burn gone awry threatened forests, homes, and even our nation's nuclear secrets. As they have for centuries, wildfires captured our attention and our imagination, reminding us of the power of the natural forces that shape our world. In Wildfire: A Reader nature writer and wildland firefighter Alianor True gathers together for the first time some of the finest stories and essays ever written about wildfire in America. From Mark Twain to Norman Maclean to Edward Abbey, writers featured here depict and record wildfires with remarkable depth and clarity. An ecological perspective is well represented through the works of John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and John McPhee. Ed Engle, Louise Wagenknecht, and Gretchen Yost, firefighters from the front lines, give us exciting first-person perspectives, reliving their on-the-ground encounters with forest fires. The works gathered in Wildfire not only explore the sensory and aesthetic aspects of fire, but also highlight how much attitudes have changed over the past 200 years. From Native Americans who used fire as a tool, to early Americans who viewed it as a frightening and destructive force, to Aldo Leopold and other conservationists whose ideas caused us to rethink the value and role of fire, this rich collection is organized around those shifts in thinking. Capturing the fury and the heat of a raging inferno, or the quiet emergence of wildflowers sprouting from ashes, the writings included in Wildfire represent a vital and compelling addition to the nature writing and natural history bookshelf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the western United States, there are many different types of significant weather events that can disrupt society, cause human health hazards, and have significant impact the water resources over this region. Such events can include strong wind events, heavy precipitation, and intense wildfires ravaging forests. In this talk, we focus on an analysis of strong wind events and potential wildfire changes by the end of the century, with a focus over Wyoming. In the first part of this defense, I will focus on the prediction of strong winds over Wyoming. Strong wind events cause significant societal damage ranging from loss of property and disruption of commerce to loss of life. Severe winds are often associated with thunderstorms, mid-latitude cyclones, and tropical cyclones. However, over portions of the United States, the strongest winds occur in the cold season and may be driven by interactions with the terrain (downslope winds, gap flow, and mountain wave activity). This work begins by validating the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model wind speed for the 2016-2022 winter months over Wyoming and Colorado, an area prone to downslope wind-storms and gap flows due to its complex topography. Significant biases were identified across all seasons in HRRR-simulated wind speeds.. These results lead to two questions: 1) does increasing the horizontal resolution improve the representation of strong wind events over this region, and 2) are the biases in HRRR-forecasted winds related to the selected planetary boundary layer (PBL), surface layer (SL), and/or land surface model (LSM) parameterizations? Several high resolution (1-km) Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) simulations are conducted to address these two main questions. An analysis of these simulations compared to the 3-km HRRR and observations is presented, and an optimal parameterization combination is identified. Moreover, proxies for predicting strong winds are also discussed. In the second part of this defense, I will extend the analysis of present-day wind fore-casts to future climate scenarios, thus coupling in water availability as well. Wildfires pose substantial risks to human health and safety and air quality and also have large impacts on the climate system. Wildfires release a wide array of aerosol and chemical species into the atmosphere. These aerosols have negative health impacts, can be deposited onto snow (thus enhancing melting), and alter the Earth’s radiative balance. This study uses numerous dynamically downscaled climate models to investigate changes in different meteorological variables (temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure deficit, etc.), which can be used as proxies for wildfire conditions, as well as different wildfire indices to identify changes by the end of the century. The results analyzed are from an ensemble of downscaled simulations, with additional analyses conducted to understand the range of possibilities from different emission/socioeconomic pathways, as well as for different model grid spacings. This work finds that there is considerable sensitivity in wildfire risk to both the socioeconomic pathway as well as model grid spacing.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our study examined fire ecology and addressed ecological effects following wildland fires at high elevations and the fuel mitigation technique of mastication in Colorado and Wyoming, USA. We present in Chapter 1 a brief timeline of wildfire history in North America tailored toward United States Forest Service history. We then present a literature synthesis on anthropogenic changes to fuel structures, and global climate change and bark beetle projections on fire characteristics. We further discuss fuel mitigation techniques available to federal managers as well as their viability, and federal wildland fire expenditures with projections exceeding 3 billion USB by 2037. In Chapter 2 we explore ecological effects following the Beaver Creek and Broadway wildland fires of 2016 at high elevations on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests. We employed regression with AICc model selection techniques and multivariate ordination analyses to evaluate top models for three single response variables predicting recovery, and to better understand complex ecological relationships post-fire. In Chapter 3 we evaluated mastication in a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Lawson & C. Lawson) system as a fuel mitigation technique on the Medicine Bow National Forest. We utilized mixed models to evaluate functional group cover and species metrics in response to mastication treatments. We also created a least squares regression model predicting graminoid cover with woody debris cover.
