Central Oregon Fire History - Fire and forest histories of central Oregon from tree rings.
| FireBGCv2 Simulation Modeling Platform - FireBGCv2 is a highly successful modeling platform that has been designed to iteratively generate fire regimes and ecological dynamics on real world landscapes. |
Communicating Forest Management Science through Visualized, Animated Media Presentations - This study examined the effectiveness of using computer visualization and animation to share results of vegetation change and fire spread models with the public.
| Crown Fuel Variability and Surface Fire - In this project we use a physics based numerical fire behavior model, FIRETEC, to assess the impact of spatial variability in tree crowns on surface fire behavior.
|
Fire management tools: EMDS (Ecosystem Management Decision Support) - A decision making model was developed for the Pacific Northwest to identify Region wide fire hazards and prioritize fuels treatments.
| Firefighter Safety Zones - A safety zone is a preplanned area of sufficient size and location that provides freedom from danger, risk, or injury to fire personnel from a fire without the needed protection of fire shelters.
|
FIREHARM - A computer program is being developed to describe fire hazard and risk across landscapes for fuel treatment prioritization and implementation. | FIRESEV - A fire severity mapping system for real-time fire management and long-term planning |
FireStem - computer model designed to aid fire managers in predicting tree mortality based on fire behavior and intensity. | FIREWORKS - Effectiveness of Hands-on Education in Fire Science. This research examined changes in understanding that followed use of hands-on learning activities about wildland fire. |
FLEAT A software platform is being evaluated that estimates the ecological benefits and drawbacks of a wildfire using a simulation of fire severity that is then used to determine departure from historical landscape conditions.
| FUELDIST - A ten year study to estimate litterfall and decomposition rates of forest fuels after major stand-replacement disturbances in the Northern Rocky Mountains to predict changes in fire hazard and risk.
|
Fuel3-D - is designed to both facilitate fundamental fuel and fire science research and to provide detailed guidance to managers in the design and evaluation of fuel treatments.
| FUELVAR - This study explores the variability of a number of fuel characteristics across major fuel components that comprise northern Rocky Mountain forest fuelbeds to describe, model, and map fuels for fire behavior and effects prediction.
|
iMast - The primary objective: to investigate the effects of masticated fuels on various ecosystem processes and characteristics
