Meet the Researcher- Dr. Devan McGranahan
February 5 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Title: The Ecology of Summer Prescribed Fire Regimes in the Northern Great Plains
“In this new, data-light, discussion-heavy format, Dr. Devan McGranahan, USDA ARS, will discuss his research into understanding how modern prescribed fire regimes look ecologically. He’ll draw from two recent papers in which he 1. looked at whether historical trends in fuel moisture/greenness and fire weather allowed for prescribed burns in summer, and 2. compared prescribed fire burn severity to burn severity in wildfires. The intent is to spend more time discussing outcomes and applications than traditional research webinars and make more space for our audience to ask questions. Don’t just listen-in, join the discussion!”
