This grant from the National Park Service aims to utilize geospatial data on wildfire origins, extents, and fuels treatment perimeters to develop performance metrics for the National Capital, Northeast, and Southeast Regions. The project will explore the data’s effectiveness in meeting management needs and may uncover new insights through analysis and integration with other datasets such as Fire Regime Condition Class and Estimated Value Acres Burned. Applications are open until August 26, 2017.
