This webinar is part of a series spotlighting NOAA Climate & Global Change Postdoctoral Fellows and will feature current fellow and interdisciplinary scientist Dr. Katherine Siegel discussing relationships between land management, climate change, and wildfire in forests and rangelands in the western US.

Laura Brewington, co-lead investigator for Pacific RISA, a NOAA CAP/RISA team, organized the Pacific Ecological Security Conference (PESC) to discuss the threat of climate change and invasive species in the Pacific Region.

RISA investigators contributed to important study about one of the world's most aggressive tree-killing insects. The findings suggest the beetles' advance could reduce biodiveristy and harm tourism and forestry industries.
