The US Geological Survey’s National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center (NRCASC) is offering this grant to advance a Prescribed Fire Recommendation Engine. This funding opportunity is for research aimed at clarifying the effective use of prescribed burns in managing ecosystems across the Southeastern United States. This grant is for the purpose of characterizing managers’ risk tolerances towards wildfire risk within the context of ongoing climate change. The recipient will work collaboratively with USGS to provide significant scientific advancement in the fields of fire ecology and climate change ecology. Key objectives include enhancing scientific modeling of prescribed fire opportunity windows, along with developing improved long-term forecasts and predictions to support climate change-informed prescribed fire management.
