- This $2,496,689 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will establish the FIRE-NET network to develop a new framework for "fast fire risk" across the western United States. The goal is to better understand and predict the growing threat of fast-moving wildfires that have become more frequent and destructive in recent years. The project will leverage expertise across multiple disciplines to create advanced data modeling and...
- This $1,481,250 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support a collaborative research project at North Carolina State University (NC State) to investigate the impacts of rapid shifts between extreme wet and dry weather conditions on fuel loading and wildfire risk in the Southeast United States. The project will characterize these hydroclimatic events and their relationship to observed wildfires, conduct field experiments to...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $313,749 to Mississippi State University to investigate the impacts of rapid shifts between extreme wet and dry weather on fuel loading and wildfire risk in the Southeast United States. The project will characterize the hydroclimatic events driving these moisture extremes, model their relationship to observed wildfires, and conduct field experiments to understand fuel drying and...
- This $1,360,564 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project titled "FIRE-MODEL: Using Multitemporal Ecosystem Energetics to Understand Changes to Fuels and Future Fire Regimes." The project aims to examine and quantify the processes of fuel accumulation and decomposition in order to improve models for predicting future fire regimes across western North America. Key activities include...
- The federal Project Grant award of $500,000 from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund the "FIRESCAPE NEVADA: MULTISCALE WILDFIRE RISK MODELING AND COMMUNITY-LED PLANNING IN NEVADA'S WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE" project. This project, led by the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute, aims to advance wildfire science and mitigation through the development and application of a high-resolution, coupled...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $468,683.00 to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct collaborative research on the physiological, phenological, and phylogenetic characteristics of grasses. The research aims to develop better mechanistic models to predict how grass distributions will respond to changing environmental conditions, such as rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns....
- This $3,999,959 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support research at Boise State University to advance the use of prescribed fire and managed wildfires for wildfire mitigation in the western United States. The project will generate novel insights into the multi-dimensional socio-environmental impacts of managed fires, integrating advanced statistical methods, machine learning, and ecosystem modeling. It will...
- This $297,813 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research to advance the predictive understanding of wildfire ignitions in the western United States. The project establishes new collaborations between Boise State University, the Universities Space Research Association, and NASA Ames Research Center to analyze the biophysical, social, and management factors associated with different wildfire ignition...
This federal Project Grant award of $48,896 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research network focused on understanding grassland wildfire risk in the Southern Great Plains region of the United States. The project aims to fill critical knowledge gaps around how grassland fuel structures vary across space and time, which is essential for effectively managing fire risk in these ecosystems. The key products and services delivered through this funding include: This grant supports critical research to better understand and manage the growing threat of grassland wildfires, which increasingly endanger human life and property in regions of the USA and worldwide.
