Name: 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference: Fire Behavior Fundamentals and Applications
Description: The 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference will be held from March 26-30, 2007 in Destin, Florida. It will focus on the fire environment - the 'fire environment' consists of fire weather, fire behavior, fire danger rating, predictive services, fuels,...

Name: A National Study of the Consequences of Fire and Fire Surrogate Treatments
Description: Objectives of the project are as follows: 1. Quantify the initial effects (first five years) of fire and fire surrogate treatments on a number of specific core response variables within the general groupings of (a) vegetation, (b) fuel and fire...

Name: Applied Wildland Fire Research in Support of Project Level Hazardous Fuels Planning - Wildland Fire Behavior and Forest Structure
Description: The goal of the Forest Structure and Fire Hazard team is to increase and improve the understanding of available research which can aid in making informed, defensible decisions on managing forest structure and disclosing the treatment effects on fire...

Name: Applying the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) to Alaskan Ecosystems
Description: The Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) has officially been used in Alaska since 1992. The CFFDRS is comprised of two major subsystems: the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System and the Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction...

Name: ArcFuels Project
Description: ArcFuels is a library of ArcGIS macros developed to streamline fire behavior modeling and spatial analyses for fuel treatment planning. The macros link: 1) key wildfire behavior models; 2) fuels and vegetation data (e.g. Landfire, FVS databases); 3)...

Name: Assessing the Causes, Consequences and Spatial Variability of Burn Severity
Description: The goal of this project is to understand the spatial variability in fire effects and to explore relationships between burn severity and fuels, fire behavior, local weather and topography. The team quantifies conditions before, during and after fires,...

Name: BehavePlus
Description: The BehavePlus fire modeling system is a program for personal computers that is a collection of mathematical models that describe fire and the fire environment. It is a flexible system that produces tables, graphs, and simple diagrams. It can be used...

Name: Communicating Forest Management Science through Visualized, Animated Media Presentations
Description: Natural resource managers use a variety of computer-mediated presentation methods to communicate with the public about ecosystem dynamics and management practices. This study explored the effects of visualizing and animating predictions from...

Name: Crown Fire Initiation and Spread Software (CFIS) System
Description: CFIS is a software tool incorporating several recently developed models designed to simulate crown fire behavior. The main outputs of CFIS are: 1) the likelihood of crown fire initiation or occurrence; 2) the type of crown fire (active vs. passive)...
