Bill do you plan to include Katherine Rowden from NWS in your session? Thanks.

> Title: Fire effects on soil morphology across time scales: Data needs for near- and long-term land and hazard management
> Description: Fire impacts soil hydrology and biogeochemistry at both near (hours to days) and long (decades to centuries) time scales. Burns, especially in soils with high organic carbon stocks like peatlands, induce a loss of absolute soil carbon stock. Additionally, fire can alter the chemical makeup of the organic matter, potentially making it more resistant to decomposition. On the shorter timescales, fire can also change the water repellent properties or hydrophobicity of the soil, leading to an increased risk of debris flows and floods.
> In this session, we will focus on the varying data needs for assessing the effects of burns across time scales, from informing emergency response managers in the immediate post-burn days, to monitoring post-burn recovery, to managing carbon in a landscape decades out.

> Current tentative list of speakers I've included are
> James MacKinnon (GSFC) - Fire mapping (and possibly intensity?) with satellite data and ML; local so ~definitely can attend.
> Jingjing Chen (VA Tech) - Overview on fire effects on soils; w/in driving distance of Bethesda.
> Dalia Kirschbaum (GSFC) - Fire effects, soils, and landslides; local so ~definitely can attend.
> Francis Rengers (USGS) - Fire effects, soils, and landslides; Golden, CO
> Except for Chen, we'd contacted them for our eventually cancelled ESIP Summer Meeting session, and they were all interested. For the current list, I was mainly thinking likelihood of attending and alignment with the ESIP 2020 theme, Putting Data to Work: Building Public-Private Partnerships to Increase Resilience & Enhance the Socioeconomic Value of Data.
