This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey’s Western Ecological Research Center, is for research focused on the 2020 and 2021 Presidentially Declared wildfires in California. Its purpose is to characterize burn severity and assess potential vegetation recovery at high spatial and temporal resolutions. This vital data will inform water and landslide hazard objectives and support the development of tools for land managers like the Department of the Interior and US Forest Service. These tools will aid in post-fire strategies such as restoring desirable vegetation, combating invasive species, stabilizing soils, and enhancing resource management to ultimately reduce risks to communities.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to characterize burn severity and potential vegetation recovery at high spatial and temporal resolutions 2020 and 2021 Presidentially Declared wildfires in California. This information will be used to inform water and landslide hazard objectives and to develop a set of tools that aid strategies by land managers (e.g., DOI and US Forest Service) in efforts to recover desirable vegetation, decrease the impact of invasive species, and stabilize soils and other resource management to reduce risk to communities. |
