2023 SRF Lightning Complex Post-Fire BAER
Publication Type: Announcement 10/31/2023

After large wildfires on National Forests a Burned Area Emergency Response Team assembles to assess damage and potential adverse effects from future rains. We talked with Tom Giambra a soil scientist, and Eric Merten a fish biologist assigned to the Smith River Complex Fire in Northern California, Southern Oregon, about the effects of extreme wildfires and information scientists can provide to help.
