About

    Wildfire research focuses on understanding the causes, behavior, and impacts of wildfires in order to develop strategies for prevention, management, and mitigation. This interdisciplinary field encompasses studies in fire ecology, fire behavior, atmospheric science, climatology, and remote sensing, among other areas. Researchers aim to improve forecasting and modeling of wildfires, develop techniques for early detection and rapid response, and evaluate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of wildfires. Overall, the goal of wildfire research is to promote sustainable fire management practices and reduce the risks posed by wildfires to ecosystems and human communities.
