Скачать или смотреть Three Minute Thesis Webinar on NOAA's Role in Wildfire Events

A webinar hosted by the NOAA Regional Collaboration Network (Central and West Teams) on Friday, July 30, 2021, designed to share experiences and information about NOAA’s role as it relates to wildfires. You will have the chance to attend a webinar to learn about NOAA's role in wildfire events compared to other agencies, fire weather forecasting, available and emerging satellite tools, and post-fire impacts like air quality and flooding related to burn scars.

What’s a Three Minute Thesis Webinar? Borrowing from a format used by many universities, colleagues from NOAA each had one slide and three minutes to present on their topic. In addition, questions from the audience were addressed by the presenters.
