Bringing Together Global Stakeholders
in wildland fire science, management, and smoke
| | |
We are now just five weeks away from the start of the 4th International Smoke Symposium (ISS4). ISS4 which aims to address a variety of wildland smoke related issues, through topics that relate to methods for tracking, modeling and inventory, social implications, health implications for the public and firefighter communities, communication, current and future research needs, and practical field management and response techniques for smoke. | Presentations will be live-streamed, professionally videotaped, and made available for at least one year. Past symposiums have set a very high standard for successful and fully interactive virtual capability. Our goal is that, in addition to providing training and education, ISS4 will enable a global conversation that facilitates knowledge sharing among the variety of experts in geographical, topical, and practice-specific facets of wildland fire smoke. | |
