About this award
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) was awarded a $1.3M research grant on November 2, 2023, to characterize and monitor changing fire regimes and the risk of extreme wildfire events in the United States using biophysical models and satellite observations. The work is scheduled for completion by November 1, 2027, and will be performed at UMCES's facility in Cambridge, Maryland. This civilian research grant, which carries no set-aside designation, is funded through a federal agency's Shared Services Center and leverages UMCES's established expertise in environmental monitoring, ecological research, and the development of scientific tools and models to address complex environmental challenges.
UMCES, a child entity of the University System of Maryland, is a prominent research institution with a track record of federal partnerships on critical environmental issues including climate change, marine ecosystems, and fire management. The research initiative aligns with UMCES's broader portfolio of federally funded grants from agencies such as the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This award supports the institution's interdisciplinary research approach and capacity to develop innovative biophysical modeling and remote sensing methodologies that advance the nation's understanding of wildfire behavior and risk assessment across diverse U.S. ecosystems.
