Tall Timbers Research Station: Fire Modeling Leaps Forward with California Partners
By Brian Wiebler
"'WIFIRE is exactly the type of technology initiative that Tall Timbers and our partners have been looking for to take our fire science research and leap forward to the fire tools of the future,' explains Hiers. 'This is the collaborative approach across disciplines that can get us to big ideas like the ensemble model runs you see for hurricane planning and flight simulators for pilot training. These are now rapidly approaching concepts for prescribed fire planning and training.'"
