The Bureau of Land Management is offering this grant to facilitate crucial modeling efforts in collaboration with CESU University research consortiums. This initiative aims to utilize downscaled climate scenarios to simulate future changes in wildfire regimes and associated shifts in vegetation composition and distribution throughout this century. The proposed study focuses on providing essential future projections specifically for the east-central region of Interior Alaska, an area where current climate projections are notably absent. This grant is for the purpose of advancing our understanding of climate change impacts across the broader Interior Alaska landscape, thereby furnishing vital information and tools for multiple state and federal land management agencies to prepare for future environmental changes.

| Description: | The Bureau of Land Management will cooperate in modeling efforts by CESU University research consortiums to utilize downscaled climate scenarios to simulate future (through this century) changes in wildfire regimes and associated changes in vegetation composition and distribution. The proposed study will provide future projections for the east-central region of Interior Alaska where current projections do not exist. The simulation results will further our understanding of climate change impacts across Interior Alaska and provide valuable information to multiple state and federal land management agencies. |
