Wildland‐urban interface (WUI) fire incidents are likely to become more severe and will affect more and more people. Given their scale and complexity, WUI incidents require a multidomain approach to assess their impact and the effectiveness of any...
Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Portal
Definition: The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) are places where potentially flammable vegetative fuels meet or overlap with homesites.
(Fire Research And Management Exchange System)
The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is the line, area, or zone where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland or vegetative fuels. Describes an area within or adjacent to private and public property where mitigation actions can prevent damage or loss from wildfire. (NWCG Glossary of Wildland Fire, Dec. 2018)

The FRAMES Emissions & Smoke Portal is a partner-sponsored site providing access to information about smoke and emissions from wildland fire, including the online Smoke Management and Air Quality for Land Managers online tutorial.
IFIRE University of Idaho Combustion Lab research project quantifying the biogeoscientific and societal impacts of extreme wildland fires from the regional to community scales in the US northern Rockies.
The purpose of this site is to provide maps for wildland firefighting resources to build situational awareness before and while responding to wildland fires.
This site was developed to showcase the results of the JFSP-funded project "A Review of Available Economic and Financial Biomass Information and Tools for Federal Land Managers in the West."

The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forest Health Division is looking to add to its growing team of natural resource professionals committed to restoring and managing the health of Washington's forests. This position will play a critical role analyzing and monitoring forest health conditions that will inform large forest landscape restoration efforts such as the 20-Year Forest Health Strategic Plan. In this role you will interact with a wide variety of scientists, land managers and stakeholders to help them understand complex scientific concepts and apply them in landscape restoration efforts.
If you are a scientist that has proven experience managing natural resources, analyzing landscape level forest health conditions and risk using remotely sensed datasets, developing forest health treatment plans and prescriptions, communicating complex scientific topics to technical and non-technical audiences, publishing research findings in refereed publications, and a passion and commitment to working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to create healthy, resilient forested landscapes, the DNR wants to hear from you!
Job duties include:
- Develop cutting-edge tools to analyze forest conditions and accelerate pace and scale of treatments
- Partner with DNR scientists and other researchers to analyze and monitor forest health conditions
- Perform landscape evaluations to develop forest health treatment prescriptions for priority watersheds
- Working with land managers to translate science into practical applications
- Build and maintain statewide forest health datasets
- Develop and implement monitoring and research projects
- Conduct fieldwork to inform landscape evaluations and monitoring studies.
