Increases to NSERC Discovery Grants: Budget 2024 funds will be ramped up over the next 5 years, with $20.4 million this 1st year & increasing to $227 million per year in year 5 & ongoing. These increases will enable researchers to better support students & postdoctoral fellows.

What a wonderful start to the main program of the Wildland Fire Canada conference with a sunrise ceremony from Wolastoq elders by the St John River. Then it was straight into the opening session with a full house in Fredericton and many online globally #WFCC2024

[First Nations Wildfire Evacuation Partnership @fnwep]

🔥@VancouverSun featured an opinion by @ChristiansonAmy and @firebobbc on reducing wildfire risk in B.C. They talk about the need for innovative solutions rooted in Indigenous fire stewardship to manage costs and promote community resilience.

Excited to announce that our work in #JasperNationalPark is featured in Canada Wildfire's fall newsletter! We show how fuels management and mountain pine beetle severity levels change fuel structures and discuss pre-fire fuels in the context of the Jasper Wildfire

[Dr. Laura Chasmer @ErsPeat]

Proud of MSc @t_skretting who convocated today @uLethbridge! Tristan's work on pine beetle impacts on fire fuels in @JasperNP will be foundational for understanding fuel consumption/fire behaviour of the Jasper Fire Complex, which burned 30% of the town on the day of her defense

Peat fire hydrology MSc research opportunities!

We are recruiting two MSc researchers for a May or Sept 2025 start.

#ecohydrology #wildfire #modelling

GIS, remote sensing, and/or Hydrus-1D modelling skills are an asset.

Burned nurse tree @JasperNP with pine germinants. Two months post fire and the forest is already coming back!

[Canada Wildfire @CanadaWildfire]

Approaching #NDTR, we reflect on the ongoing impact of the displacement of Indigenous Peoples from traditional territories, including policies outlawing cultural burning and disrupting intergenerational knowledge. Reconciliation includes the right to burn.

👀Detailed and low latency #wildfire info. Aim to include as layer in Google maps.
6-band multispectral infrared (IR) instruments, over 50 satellites when constellation complete, ~20min revisit. Pathfinder launch in 2025, 3 planned for launch in 2026 to initiate constellation.
