Opinion: As a former firefighter, I see wildfires as a defining challenge of our time. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Excited to have been selected and had the opportunity to share our work with @JonathanWNV

A conference for everyone impacted or concerned by wildfire. Please share widely!

I recently had the opportunity to speak at @IAWF in Boise ID, where I presented my research and joined the keynote panel on the 2023 Fire Season as well as @BCFireSmart Prince George, BC. Great to meet so many passionate and interesting people working towards a similar goal.

Delighted to share out the forthcoming: Wildfire Coexistence in BC: Solutions Symposium. This every has been a collaborative effort between research institutions around the province. Please join us June 3-5th @ubcokanagan Registration Open Now: wildfire-symposium.forestry.ubc.ca

Delighted to share out the Mitigating Wildfire Initiative's new report "Landscape Resilience and Wildfire; a Primer for Collaborative Dialogue." Big thanks to @kcopesgerbitz for her tireless work on this. rb.gy/c8fu35

Pleased to share the Mitigating Wildfire Initiative's "What we Heard" report from a recent dialogue on Strategic and Collaborative Approaches to Mitigating Catastrophic Wildfire in BC shorturl.at/efx78

@ryankatzrosene Great. Thank you for answering. The "managed forest" qualifier is what was confusing me. You also beat me to the next question which was about difference in the Guardian Interview. Thanks

@BCFireJames Basically comes down to whatever methodology NRCAN is using vs the satellite-based and vegetation model that Copernicus uses. (Note in tweet below NRCAN values are for managed forests only, compared to Copernicus’ full Canada area)

Truly breathtaking!

Opinion: Should governments work with residents who defy wildfire evacuation orders? @UNBC_GEES @TorontoStar thestar.com/opinion/contri…

@nplareau I don't have pics, but just heard multiple reports of spots across the lake.

If you’re on the east side of Lake Okanaga and experiencing #Ashfall we’d appreciate any photographs of the ash (especially large pieces) with something for scale (eg coin) along with time and location. Data will help us link radar -> long range spotting.
