Learning and Burning FASMEE 2023 (trailer)
Fire and smoke researchers collaborated with land managers to "learn and burn" from a unique, high-intensity prescribed fire conducted to restore aspen forests on the Fishlake National Forest in southern Utah. This 90-second video showcases their efforts. Researchers from many agencies and institutions worked with fire managers to safely collect data on fire behavior, smoke composition and transport, soil dynamics, and forest ecology, with the ultimate goal of improving the models used to inform fire and smoke management. This partnership is called the Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE). More information can be found on the FASMEE webpage.
