Two seminars are scheduled this week in Hardin Hall, beginning with a talk cosponsored by the School of Natural Resources and the Geography General Seminar series on Wednesday, Nov. 14. The Applied Ecology seminar series will host a talk on Friday, Nov. 16.
On Wednesday, LLoyd Queen— a professor of remote sensing and director of the National Center for Landscape Fire Analysis at the University of Montana—will present "Characterizing Fire-on-Fire Interactions in Three Large Wilderness Areas Using the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) Fire Perimeter Data" in the Hardin Hall auditorium at 3:30 p.m.
Queen, who received his Ph.D. at UNL, will talk about a recent study he performed in three large wilderness areas in Montana and Idaho. He examined the speculation that scars of old fires are believed to inhibit the spread of new fires.
