<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">Dr. Andi Heard, who some of you know, is a Physical Scientist with NPS
<a href="https://www.nps.gov/im/sien/about-us.htm" target="_blank">Sierra Nevada Network NPS inventory and monitoring network</a>, and also an SNRI Advisory Committee member.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">Andi is working with Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks to develop a post-fire research prospectus that identifies the top post-<a href="https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7838/" target="_blank">KNP
fire</a> research and monitoring priorities to aid the park in <b><span style="background:yellow">prioritizing post-fire projects, seeking funding, and communicating research/monitoring needs to partners</span></b>. The focus is on the
KNP fire, but they are also thinking broadly <span style="background:yellow">
across the Sierra as appropriate</span>. She is keen to discuss opportunities for SNRI - NPS coordination on both as they develop this prospectus over the next month and a half or so.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">In addition to some of the more obvious fire/forest/hydrology/climate change inputs, I thought there might be benefit to having some systemic, SETS, LCA (biomass), and social &
cognitive science feedback as well. Please feel free to share with other relevant PIs/areas I’ve overlooked.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">Hoping to make some research connections and mutually beneficial opportunities…let Andi know if you are interested in helping to shape NPS thinking and priorities in this system
now and into the future. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">Thank you.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
