Fire & Fuel Management Strategies
| Research | Brief Description |
|---|---|
| ArcBurn |
Linking Field-based and Experimental Methods to Quantify, Predict, and Manage Fire Effects on Cultural Resources |
| Bark beetle outbreaks in lodgepole pine |
Lodgepole pine forest host characteristics influence mountain pine beetle outbreak severity in the Northern Rocky Mountains. |
| California tree mortality |
Changes in fuel loading and conifer mortality risk factors due to bark beetles and drought in California. |
| Camp Swift research burns |
The overall goal for the project is to evaluate the Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Dynamics Simulator (WFDS), a physics-based fire behavior model, using data collected in a full-scale prescribed fire setting. |
| Climate Change on Global Fire Danger |
Wildfires occur at the intersection of dry weather, available fuel, and ignition sources. Weather is the most variable and largest driver of regional burned area. |
| Coarse-Scale Spatial Data |
Coarse-Scale Spatial Data for Wildland Fire and Fuel Management: A coarse scale assessment and mapping effort was initiated to support national-level fire planning and risk assessments. |
| Douglas-fir and Fire | Predicting Post-fire Douglas-fir Beetle Attacks and Tree Mortality in the Northern Rocky Mountains |
| Duff Mounds | Prescribed Burning: Can We Do It Without Killing the Trees We Are Trying to Save? |
| Evaluating Fuel Treatment Effectiveness |
Using STANDFIRE to test whether fuel treatments are effective in changing fire behavior |
| FARSITE |
FARSITE computes wildfire growth and behavior for long time periods under heterogeneous conditions of terrain, fuels, and weather. |
| FFI: Ecological Monitoring |
FFI is an ecological monitoring software application designed to assist managers with collection, storage and analysis of ecological information. |
| Fire Management, Zambia |
Fire Management and Fire Use Assessment of Eastern Province, Zambia |
| Fire Severity Classification | Classifying Fire Severity Based on simulated surface fuel combustion and heat transfer |
| Fire Weather Alert System |
The Fire Weather Alert System (FWAS) has been designed to warn on-the-ground firefighters of dangerous weather conditions in their area. |
| Fire: A Vaccine for the Forest? |
The impact of fire on conifer defenses . |
| FireFamilyPlus |
FireFamilyPlus supports the spectrum of fire weather/fire danger/fire climate/fire occurrence analysis tools required by fire managers to successfully use the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS). |
| Firefighter Safety |
Perhaps one of the most critical decisions made by firefighters during daily fire management operations is the identification of suitable safety zones. |
| FIRESEV |
A fire severity mapping system for real time fire management application and long-term planning. |
| Foliar Moisture Content |
Analyzing the ‘spring dip’ in foliar moisture content and its relationship to crown dire activity in the Great Lakes |
| Fuel PARticle DYnamics (FPARDY) |
The research project presented here, labeled FPARDY (Fuel PARticle DYnamics), is one of many new efforts to explore surface fuel characteristics at the particle, layer, and fuelbed levels across ma |
| FuelCalc |
FuelCalc is a desktop software application for determining changes in surface and crown fuel loading after thinning, pruning, piling and/or prescribed fire. |
| FUELDIST |
Monitoring surface and canopy fuel conditions after stand-replacing disturbance events in northern Rocky Mountain ecosystems. |
