About the Fire History Subject Area

The Fire History Subject Area of the Fire Research and Management Exchange System (FRAMES) is a resource for fire history data, research, and projects. Personnel from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center's Paleoclimatology Branch have agreed to act as the content managers for the Fire History Subject Area, and will coordinate between FRAMES and the fire history research community to provide and manage the information and resources available through the Area. The primary goal of this collaboration is to make valuable fire history research and data more accessible to land managers and other non-specialists. In particular, data from the International Multiproxy Paleofire Database (IMPD), which is maintained by the Paleoclimatology Branch, will be made available via the portal so that it may be integrated with such management tools as the Fire Regime Condition Class. It is anticipated that the Fire History Subject Area will be the platform for future projects to tailor fire history data to land management needs.
