USU Wildland Fire Club - Wildland Fire Training
Workshop/Training
The WILD 2450 Wildland Fire Operations course is provided in conjunction with the USU Wildland Fire Club and is now an approved USU course, if you wish university credit. This training is a combination of three National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) courses including, S130 - Wildland Firefighter Training, S190 - Introduction to Fire Behavior, L180 - Human Factors on the Fireline. These courses, in part, qualify one as a Wildland Firefighter 2 (FFT2) in IQCS (Incident Qualifications and Certification System - commonly referred to as being Red Carded). To be a Wildland Firefighter with most local, state, and federal land and fire management agencies and contractors, one needs to complete S130/S190/L180 to be qualified as a Wildland Firefighter 2 (FFT2) in IQCS. Upon successful completion of S130/S190/L180 students will be issued NWCG Training Course Completion Certificates.
Year of Undergraduate Research Exhibition
Exhibition

Ecology Center Seminar Series - Dr. Mike Dietze
Conference/Seminar
The USU Ecology Center is pleased to host our January Seminar Series speaker, Dr. Mike Dietze, from the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University.
Dr. Michael Dietze leads the Ecological Forecasting Laboratory, the mission of which is to better understand and predict ecological systems; he is the author of Ecological Forecasting. He is interested in the ways that iterative forecasts, which are continually confronted with new data, can improve and accelerate basic environmental science, while at the same time making that science more directly relevant to society (e.g., nature-based climate solutions). Much of the current work in the lab is organized under two broad umbrellas, the Near-term Ecological Forecasting Initiative (NEFI) and the PEcAn project.
A public reception will immediately follow the seminar. All are welcome!

Reece is the co-founder of several organizations and initiatives that operate at the intersection of business and conservation. These include:
MarVivo Network: A blue carbon mangrove and marine conservation network within the Eastern Tropical Seascape, encompassing areas such as the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula.
InfiniteEARTH: A company specializing in developing and managing tropical conservation land banks, providing environmental offsets, and creating private-label corporate social responsibility (CSR) solutions for businesses worldwide.
EcoSmart Labs: A firm offering comprehensive solutions to help asset managers assess and address carbon risk.
LAEP Speaker Series: David Anderson, What Can Landscape Architecture Do for the Environment and Our Humanity
Lecture/Readings
About the Lecture How can we display genuine empathy, grace, and compassion toward ourselves and others – and the natural world around us? Humans are reliant on the environment for essential resources and services. In the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, landscape architecture plays a unique and critical role that, through design, addresses the social needs, fundamental rights, and wellbeing of people, while stewarding care and renewal of ecological systems. Speaker Bio Dave is a Professional Practice Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP) at USU where he has teaching and Extension assignments. Dave leads instruction of the department’s Introduction to Landscape Architecture course, the largest of its kind in the U.S. with over 1,000 students taught annually. He teaches University Connections to incoming freshmen and has taught Foundations of Sustainable Systems, Land Planning for Residential Development, co-taught the Leadership in Planning and Design – a Capstone studio for LAEP seniors, and currently instructs the Analysis and Design I studio.
