Cluster member Gabrielle Boisramé is based at the Desert Research Institute and has been studying the transformative impact of Yosemite’s natural fire experiment for over a decade.

“Our results hopefully give forest managers an extra reason to try this approach in more areas,” Boisramé says. “And that can give us a better idea of where the strategy works well and where it may have less of an impact. This project is a great example of scientists and managers working together in a place that the public cares a lot about.”

I'm going to read the RFW report first

#firefighting #FireScience

I’ve been following the #ParkFire a couple hours north of me. Our #SierraNevada mountains are a laboratory for fire management.

I didn’t realize how many #cameras are now spread across the state.

#UCSanDiego has quite a program.

2024 #Women Advancing River #Research Seminar Series continues next week.

February 15: Fire and Water

Sheila Murphy, USGS
Gabrielle Boisrame, Desert Research Institute

Discover how wildfires in the #SierraNevada are reshaping our water resources. Learn about the unique fire management in Yosemite's Illilouette Creek leading to healthier forests and improved water storage.
