Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wildland Fire Science Strategic Plan defines critical, core fire science capabilities for understanding fire-related and fire-responsive earth system processes and patterns, and informing management decision making. Developed by USGS fire scientists and executive leadership, and informed by conversations with external stakeholders, the Strategic Plan is aligned with the needs of the fire science stakeholder community–fire, land, natural resource, and emergency managers from Federal, State, Tribal, and community organizations, as well as members of the scientific community. The Strategic Plan is composed of four integrated priorities, each with associated goals and specific strategies for accomplishing the goals: Priority 1: Produce state-of-the-art, actionable fire science; Priority 2: Engage stakeholders in science production and science delivery; Priority 3: Effectively communicate USGS fire science capacity, products, and information to a broad audience; and Priority 4: Enhance USGS organizational structure and advance support for fire science. The priorities of this Strategic Plan define the USGS’s commitment to producing and delivering cutting edge fire science, information, and decision-support tools in support of national, regional, and local priorities and stakeholder needs.

WILDLAND FIRE SCIENCE AT THE USGS
Wildland Fire Science at the U.S. Geological Survey—Supporting Wildland Fire and Land Management Across the United States postcard <p> <p> General Information Product 190 <p> <p> By: Paul F. Steblein, Mark P. Miller, and Suzanna C. Soileau <p> <p> First posted May 2, 2019 <p> Revised February 23, 2021 <p> For additional information, contact: <p> Wildland Fire Science Program <p> https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/fire <p> U.S. Geological Survey <p> 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive <p> Reston, VA 20192 <p> Abstract <p> <p> The U.S. Geological Survey’s Wildland Fire Science Program produces information to identify the causes of wildfires, understand the impacts and benefits of both wildfires and prescribed fires, and help prevent and manage larger, catastrophic events. USGS fire scientists provide information and develop tools that are widely used by stakeholders to make decisions before, during, and after wildfires in desert, grassland, tundra, wetland, and forest ecosystems across the United States. Active areas of research include— <p> <p> Wildland fire behavior and risk management <p> Fire ecology, fire effects, and post-fire restoration of ecosystems <p> Risk assessments for human health, public safety, and the Nation’s infrastructure <p> Remote sensing and geospatial tools and data. <p>
INVASIVE CARP STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, 2023
U.S. Geological Survey Invasive Carp Strategic Framework, 2023–27 <p> Circular 1504 <p> Biological Threats and Invasive Species Research Program <p> By: Duane Chapman, Jon Amberg, Robin Calfee, Enrika Hlavacek, Jon Hortness, P. Ryan Jackson, David C. Kazyak, Brent Knights, and James Roberts <p> <p> For additional information, contact: <p> Associate Director, Ecosystems Mission Area <p> https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/ecosystems <p> U.S. Geological Survey <p> 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive <p> Reston, VA 20192 <p> Abstract <p> <p> U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research has supported management of Hypophthalmichthys nobilis (bighead carp), Mylopharyngodon piceus (black carp), Ctenopharyngodon idella (grass carp), and H. molitrix (silver carp), hereafter referred to collectively as invasive carps, for over a decade. This strategic framework identifies thematic research areas to guide funding decisions for USGS invasive carp research during 2023–27. The USGS will use this framework and input from research and management agencies to identify leading-edge research to advance control of these highly damaging invasive species. <p>
