Outreach
US Forest Service 2011-2012: Developing a Comprehensive Curricula for Assessing Fire Behavior, Fire Effects, Fire Regimes, and Vegetation Dynamics
The program mission is to provide land managers with science-based analysis tools and training (such as classroom training, online courses, webinars, guidebooks, and tool user guides and tutorials) focused on the assessment of fire behavior, fire effects, fire regimes, and vegetation dynamics. www.niftt.gov
US Forest Service 2011-2012: Ongoing Maintenance and Development of the Fire Research And Management Exchange System
The program goal is to provide a systematic method of exchanging information and transferring technology among wildland fire researchers, managers, and other stakeholders in order to make wildland fire documents, data, tools, and other information resources easy to find, access, distribute, compare, and use. www.frames.gov
NASA Shared Services Center 2010-2012: Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium, University of North Dakota, Forestry remote sensing extension to tribal colleges and land managers, development of online materials.
