This grant, offered by the USGS, aims to fund the comprehensive analysis of existing data concerning how fire managers and researchers utilize and access crucial fire science information. A key objective of this project is to identify the top ten most pressing fire science information needs, specifically within oak-dominated forest ecosystems across the Midwest. The scope of this analysis requires the use of existing datasets, which must include survey data from both prescribed fire and wildfire managers and researchers. The target geographic area for the original surveys spans multiple states, including Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. This initiative seeks to enhance fire management practices and research effectiveness in these critical regions.
